Canonic Launches its Second-Generation Medical Cannabis Products with High THC and Unique Terpene Profiles
September 21, 2022 MJ Shareholders
The new products were developed through breeding programs carried out by Canonic in the last two years and include the use of proprietary sets of novel genetic markers developed in collaboration with Evogene using its GeneRator AI tech-engine. The use of genetic markers directs and accelerates the breeding process in reaching unique cannabis lines that meet market requirements.
Arnon Heyman, Chief Executive Officer of Canonic, commented, “We are happy to have reached this milestone, representing the fruits of our development work over past years. We have succeeded in increasing the cannabinoid and terpene concentration, known to relieve many symptoms and improve overall well-being, meeting patient demands within a concise timeframe. This was enabled using advanced computational technology, in combination with proprietary sets of novel genetic markers and other advanced breeding methods, developed by Canonic and Evogene. In addition, the announcement we published last week regarding the licensing agreement for the commercialization in Europe of two next-generation cannabis lines by GroVida, is supporting proof of the uniqueness and commercial potential of the new generation of products developed by Canonic.”
