Management Commentary
"Through the end of Q3, the Company continued to make steady progress in helping more patients access medical cannabis. Europe is starting to become an important market for the Company, and we will soon be opening our first Zerenia medical cannabis clinic in the UK. Our integrated clinic model continues to connect patients, doctors, and insurance, helping improve patient outcomes. The integrated medical clinic approach offers a range of treatments and services, including medical cannabis, that help patients save time and money by not having to travel to seek out individual treatments. Almost half of our patients have insurance coverage now, a tremendous improvement since our first covered prescription in December of 2020.
