multinational diversified cannabis company, is pleased to announce
that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Canveda Inc.
(“

“MPXI has a long-standing relationship with
Panaxia and welcomes the opportunity to market our brand in Israel
as part of our international cannabis strategy,” noted W. Scott
Boyes, Chairman, President and CEO of MPX International. “Panaxia
is a major player in the Israeli market and an emerging participant
in the global cannabis space and we are honored to be able to work
with them on this initial project.”
A first shipment of 100 kg of high-quality
cannabis flower will be shipped from Canada to Israel as soon as an
export permit from Health Canada is acquired. All the required
import permits from Israel have been issued.
Panaxia uses high-quality cannabis flower to
manufacture and distribute a variety of standardized, pharma-grade,
smokeless, measured dosage cannabinoid-based products including

patients with a variety of conditions such as PTSD, chronic pain,
cancer, epilepsy, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, anorexia and
HIV/AIDS.

Canadian partners MPX International Corporation and expand our
collaboration to the Israeli market. As an experienced
pharmaceutical company and the largest manufacturer and distributor
of medical cannabis products in Israel, we are committed to
providing premium, standardized, and scientifically-backed
pharmaceutical cannabis products to our partners and patients
worldwide. MPXI leads the pharmaceutical approach to medical
cannabis in Canada, which makes them a natural partner for
distribution of high-quality pharmaceutical cannabis products in
Israel,” said Assi Rotbart, GM of Panaxia.
“We will be shipping our initial 100 kg of bulk
high-quality Sativa and Indica cannabis strains to test the market
in Israel. Panaxia will be responsible for quality control,
packaging and distribution of Salus BioPharma products,” said
Michael Arnkvarn, COO, Canada of MPXI. “The Salus BioPharma brand
is our premier medical brand and we are excited to commence
