Dropping this baby sometime soon! Here's the unedited versioCANADA. Langton Facility- So how big is this state of the art facility going to be? According to Wayland Group, once fully operational, will have around 850,000sqft. The facility is divided into two phases, phase one, and phase two. Construction on phase one is currently underway and although behind in construction, once completed, will be looking at 217,000 square feet of grow and production space with annual capacity to grow up to 36,000kg. Once phase two is complete, that will add another 635,000sqft. and the remaining 70, 000 kg. -Taken from Wayland Group investor deck. With 850,000sqft., Wayland will be looking to produce 105,000kg of Dried Flower annually. Waylands Langton facility is also a EU-GMP licensed facility. Only 6 Canadian LP's have this license, including; Canopy Growth, Tilray, Cronos, Aurora Cannabis, Aurora Deutschland, and Wayland Group. https://mjbizdaily.com/race-to-win-europe-aurora-cannabis-other-canadian-companies-pursue-eu-gmp/ . So what does this exactly mean? GMP standards are regarded as the highest assurance of quality and safety a pharmaceutical manufacturer can receive. It is a rigorous process that Maricann (now known as Wayland Group) initiated in Q4 of 2017 when German health inspectors visited its current Langton, Ontario facility for a thorough review of the operations. With todays announcement, Maricann(now known as Wayland Group)becomes only the 6th Canadian producer of medical cannabis to be awarded this distinction. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/04/30/1489524/0/en/Maricann-Group-Inc-is-Awarded-GMP-Certification.html EMA-GMP(EU-GMP) CERTIFICATION OF OUR CULTIVATION FACILITY IN CANADA DEMONSTRATES FURTHER PROGRESS AT MARICANN(NOW KNOWN AS WAYLAND GROUP). EXTERNAL VALIDATION OF OUR OPERATIONS PROVIDES COMFORT TO OUR PATIENTS AND CONSUMERS THAT WE EXCEED INDUSTRY STANDARDS. OUR COMMITMENT TO TOTAL QUALITY, FROM ORIGINATION TO FINISHED PRODUCT IS NOW CERTIFIED, STATED BEN WARD, CEO. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/04/30/1489524/0/en/Maricann-Group-Inc-is-Awarded-GMP-Certification.html This certification allows the Company to export dried cannabis flower into the rapidly growing medical cannabis markets of the EU. While governments decide how to license and regulate production within their own jurisdictions on European soil, companies with the ability to export are at a distinct advantage to capitalize in these markets where a significant shortage of product exists. https://www.globenewswire.com/newsrelease/2018/04/30/1489524/0/en/Maricann-Group-Inc-is-Awarded-GMP-Certification.html Well, I guess you can say Wayland Group is keeping up with the big boys, in terms of licensing, of course. Now going back to what I said earlier, State of the art facility, they're genuinely building one. I suggest you read this Press Release which Wayland Group released detailing the incorporation of Rockwell Automation, https://m.marketwired.com/press-release/maricann-group-inc-adopts-connected-enterprise-solution-from-rockwell-automation-produce-2241578.htm . Rockwell Automation is going to be completely incorporated into this facility, and if you dont know who Rockwell Automation is, I suggest you look into the company who is currently listed on the NYSE. Wayland Group is building a long term efficient facility, which is key for long term operations. As quoted from the CEO on BTV Television, Energy efficiency is at the core of everything we do. From producing onsite, natural gas cogeneration electricity to gathering rainwater from our roofs, we drive energy efficiencies through out our production processes to save time and money. Growing under glass through highefficiency windows means we harness solar energy with the full colour spectrum of the sun. This lowers our carbon footprint, while increasing our yield. We also use CO2 to heat our water and floors, and we pump CO2 back into our greenhouses where it acts as a natural booster to our growth cycle. We grow cleaner and larger plants though this method. Being so energy efficient allows us to be a lowcost, highquality producer in a market that rarely sees that combination, with an energy efficiency rating of 92.5% in an R38 building envelope. Clearly Wayland is growing green with a green environment in mind. Provincial Agreements_______________________ Wayland Group currently have 4 provincial agreements in place; Ontario, Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba. ONTARIO- Wayland Group will supply 37 listings with a wide range of sizes, formats and strains. ALBERTA- Allocating up to 3,375 kg of cannabis product for the AB market within the first six months BRITISH COLUMBIA-Wayland Group is pleased to announce that it has been selected by the BC Liquor Distribution Branch (BCLDB) to enter into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) as a preferred licensed producer to initially supply approximately 3,621,900g (~3,622kg) of nonmedical cannabis to BCLDB over the first 12 months following legalization. MANITOBA-Wayland is pleased to announce that on June 28, 2018, it has signed a supply agreement with the Manitoba Liquor & Lotteries Corporation (MBLL) to make available for purchase by MBLL at least 550 kg of various cannabis products during the first twelve months of the agreement. GERMANY_______________________________________________________ Entered into an agreement to supply CANNAMEDICAL PHARMA GMBH, a licensed, privately owned importer and distributor of cannabis in Germany to over 2,200 pharmacies with a minimum of 9,000 kilograms of EU-GMP certified cannabis flowers over a three year term" https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/10/15/1620864/0/en/Wayland-Signs-Minimum-9-000-kilograms-Supply-Agreement-with-Cannamedical-for-Export-of-Product-from-Canada-to-Germany.html ONTARIO-https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/08/21/1554527/0/en/Maricann-Group-Inc-Joins-Short-List-of-Recreational-Suppliers-to-Launch-in-OCS.html ALBERTA-https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/07/05/1533761/0/en/MMaricann-Provides-Details-on-Alberta-Supply-Agreement.html BC-https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/07/11/1536153/0/en/Maricann-Announces-Third-Consecutive-Provincial-Win-Signs-MOU-with-BC-Liquor-Distribution-Branch.html MANITOBA-https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/06/29/1531768/0/en/Maricann-Announces-Supply-Agreement-with-the-Manitoba-Liquor-and-Lotteries-Corporation.html Pharmacy Initiative_______________________________________ Wayland Group is not only supplying the Canadian recreational market, but also making sure medical marijuana users have the product they need. Wayland Group announced in 2017 that a definite agreement was in place with Lovell Drugs. So what does that mean for Wayland ? Maricann (know known as Wayland Group) will fulfill prescriptions directly to Lovell Drugs' patients through the existing Access to Cannabis for Medicinal Purposes Regulations. Lovell Drugs has already commenced distribution of Maricann (know known as Wayland Group) cannabis products to its patients, with the first prescription registered and fulfilled on December 1st, 2017. https://m.marketwired.com/press-release/maricann-group-inc-signs-definitive-agreement-with-lovell-drugs-medical-cannabis-retail-cse-mari-2243127.htm . Lets not forget about the education aspect needed in the emerging cannabis market. Wayland Group evidently has a plan in place to educate pharmacists from coast to coast. In cooperation with the Companys joint venture pharmacy partners, developed cannabis education programs, including this comprehensive online education platform to raise the standard of care across Canada. These programs will be available to pharmacists in over 2,100 pharmacies, coast to coast. The Educational Program, which launched on October 1, 2018 - is accredited by the CCCEP for pharmacists on the clinical and practical application of cannabinoid therapy. In addition, it includes practice guides, instructional videos, dosing protocols and patient support materials which can be used by physicians and the full circle of care. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/10/04/1601114/0/en/Wayland-launches-Medical-Cannabis-Professional-Education-Program-for-Pharmacists.html . It should also be noted back in 2017 Maricann which is now know as Wayland Group entered a Letter of Intent with McKesson. Here's the twist, management didn't know there was a non disclosure agreement attached to the deal, a partial error from Wayland Group. https://www.streetinsider.com/dr/news.php?id=13156226 . Something interesting I noticed, in the Mckesson press release, it states working with 2116 pharmacies. If you take a look at the October press release, it states working with 2100 pharmacies, coincidence? Nonetheless, the whole situation is intriguing. BRANDS_______________________________________________ As the cannabis frenzy continues, licensed producers need to make sure they have brands in place that target a wide variety of consumers; gender , age, experience, occasions, etc. Are you new to cannabis? If you are, Kiwi is the brand to look into, targeting light users who are new to cannabis and looking to better understand it. High Tide, high-THC, designed for medium/heavy users. Northern Harvest, authentic, local, and a brand in place for consumers who are light/medium users. Lost at Seed, rare cannabis genetics, for those medium/heavy users looking for those highly desirable strains. Solara C is the interesting brand of the bunch, designed exclusively to produce only the highest quality CBD products. Last but not least, the famous Rare Dankness, the name speaks for itself. KIWI- Fun and approachable. Kiwi will be the brand people will look to make all things cannabis make sense. Designed for light users who are new to the category and looking to better understand cannabis. HIGH TIDE- High Tide is Waylands collection of high-THC cannabis strains designed for experienced medium to heavy users.

RARE DANKNESS- This partner brand will be for experienced cannabis users who are knowledgeable about strains, potencies and profiles. It will offer a wide selection of premium award-winning strains that users wont be able to find anywhere else. Rare Dankness________________________________________________ Now, no one is giving credit to Wayland for their exclusive rights to RARE DANKNESS. Why do I say that? Rare Dankness was founded in 2010 after many years of growing, collecting, preserving, and experimenting with many varieties of Cannabis. The Rare Dankness genetics bank spans three decades and represents what they believe to be the finest specimens of Cannabis strains in the world. Rare Dankness developed genetics do not simply replicate the mothers, but compliment the genetics by breeding with superior males, and breed specifically for certain cannabinoid and terpene profiles. Specializing in elite/rare genetics, Rare Dankness has created new and innovative genetics, including: Ghost Train Haze #1, Rug Burn OG, The OX, CBD OX (a 1:1 CBD strain), and Moonshine Haze. Rare Dankness is a multi winner of the High Times Cannabis Cup for their various strains, are listed first and third in the Legends of Hash #11 and have won over 80 awards worldwide. Rare Dankness is a Colorado based company with a separate European company for the world wide medical cannabis legal market. https://m.marketwired.com/press-release/maricann-enters-exclusivity-agreement-bring-authentic-rare-dankness-cannabis-cup-award-2243986.htm . Rare Dankness Founder Scott Reach said that "Working with Maricann (Wayland Group) gives us the capability to produce my genetics, provide premium grade, consistent, connoisseur quality cannabis flowers and extracts in a world class facility to bring RD to Canadians." It isn't known when Wayland plan on rolling out Rare Dankness, I would assume sometime this year. For every cannabis consieur out their, keep this on your radar . VESISORB ____________________________________________ So what is VESIsorb you may ask? VESIsorb is the leading delivery system innovation for dramatically improving the bioavailability of poorly absorbed ingredients. Since 2007, close to 200 million consumers in all six major continents have safely and effectively used a VESIsorb formula. Wayland group have also launched a soft gel formulation loaded with 25mg Cannabidiol (CBD) that utilizes the multi-patented VESIsorb delivery system to ensure optimum absorption and bioavailability. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/08/13/1550589/0/en/Maricann-Launches-First-Cannabidiol-CBD-Formulation-Utilizing-Patented-Drug-Delivery-Technology-in-Germany.html I highly suggest watching this video which includes the voice of Steve Bennett, Chief Scientific Officer of Wayland Group. https://vimeo.com/235742908 . These capsules are currently on the German market, but marked as sold out. The website in which you can find these capsules is https://mariplant.de/epages/es364985.mobile/?ObjectPath=/Shops/es364985 . Something to take into consideration, Wayland Group harvested 120,00kg of hemp in Germany, which was announced in October of 2018. Its highly likely that this hemp will be used to get those capsules back on the market, and making them money. https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2018/10/18/1623350/0/en/CORRECTION-Wayland-Reports-Harvest-Results-from-Mariplant-GmbH.html . With a report coming out in 2018, predicting that the CBD market will hit an astonishing $22 BILLION by 2022. Wayland Group will be sure to try and claim a portion of this massive market. https://www.rollingstone.com/culture/culture-news/new-study-cbd-market-22-billion-2022-722852/ .
