How Companies Are Selling THCa Online Without a License:

The 2018 Farm Bill has created a legal loophole for selling THCa online. THCa, which is non-psychoactive until heated, can be sold legally if it tests under 0.3% Delta-9 THC on a dry weight basis. This allows companies to bypass traditional cannabis licensing and state regulations.

Key Points:

2018 Farm Bill: Permits cannabis products with under 0.3% Delta-9 THC.

THCa Products: Non-psychoactive until heated but converts to Delta-9 THC when smoked or vaped.

No License Needed: THCa meets legal THC limits, avoiding the need for a cannabis license.

Consumer Impact: Consumers can buy THCa products online, evading stricter state cannabis laws.

Summary: The 2018 Farm Bill has inadvertently allowed THCa products to be sold legally online by staying within THC limits, despite their psychoactive potential when heated.

TORONTO, Aug. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TerrAscend Corp. (โ€œTerrAscendโ€ or the โ€œCompanyโ€) (TSX: TSND) (OTCQX: TSNDF), a leading North American cannabis company, today announced preliminary and unaudited financial results for its second quarter ended June 30, 2023. All amounts are in U.S. dollars.

Based on a preliminary and unaudited review, the Company anticipates:

Net Revenue of $72.1 million, an increase of 12.7% year-over-year and 3.9% sequentially
Gross Profit Margin increased to 50.2% compared to 48.8% in Q1 2023 and 37.5% in Q2 2022
Additionally, the Company expects Net Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations1 for full year 2023 will be at least $305 million and $58 million, respectively, representing year over year growth of 23% in Net Revenue and 49% in Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations1.

โ€œWe are pleased to deliver results in the second quarter that exceeded our internal forecasts. This team has accomplished a tremendous amount in recent months. We have significantly improved our margins, transformed our balance sheet, materially lowered our interest expense, achieved positive cashflow, acquired four dispensaries in Maryland, and successfully listed on the TSX, all while driving sector leading revenue growth,โ€ stated Jason Wild, Executive Chairman of TerrAscend. โ€œThese achievements bolster our confidence in the remainder of the year. As evidenced by todayโ€™s guidance, we expect significant growth in revenue and profitability as we realize the benefit of our now vertically integrated operations in Maryland as well as continued strong execution in our other geographies.โ€

1Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations is a non-GAAP measure. Please see discussion of non-GAAP measures at the end of this press release. TerrAscend is not able, at this time, to provide a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA for full year 2023 to net (loss)/income from continuing operations because of the unreasonable effort of estimating on a forward-looking basis certain items that are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations, including, for example, certain material non-cash items such as inventory write downs outside of the normal course of operations, share based compensation expense, impairment charges taken on goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, the gain or loss recognized on the revaluation of our contingent consideration liabilities, one-time write off of accounts receivable related to one customer that was deemed uncollectible, loan modification fees related to the modification of debt, the gain recognized on the extinguishment of debt, the gain or loss recognized on the remeasurement of the fair value of the U.S denominated preferred share warrants, one time fees incurred in connection with acquisitions and certain other adjustments management believes are not reflective of the ongoing operations and performance, the effect of which may be significant. The outlook for full year 2023 provided above is forward-looking in nature. Actual results may differ materially. See the cautionary note regarding โ€œForward-Looking Informationโ€ below.

Conference Call Details:
The Company will report its full financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2023 on Thursday, August 10, 2023 after market close. Management will host a conference call the same day at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss its financial results for the second quarter 2023.

Did anyone else happen to notice the daily volume for TSNDF for July 19,2023 was 12.09 million shares? That's more than 650% more than normal. Must have something to do with the TSX switchover. Institutions suddenly buying? The price action belies that. Hmmmm??? What does this sudden EXPLOSION in volume mean?

TORONTO, June 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TerrAscend Corp. (โ€œTerrAscendโ€ or the โ€œCompanyโ€) (CSE: TER) (OTCQX: TRSSF), a leading North American cannabis operator, today announced the closing of its previously announced acquisition of Hempaid, LLC (d/b/a โ€œBlue Ridge Wellnessโ€), a medical dispensary in Maryland. The transaction expands TerrAscendโ€™s footprint to three dispensaries in the state. Blue Ridge Wellness is well positioned to achieve substantial sales growth following the commencement of adult-use sales in Maryland on July 1, 2023. This transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to TerrAscend on an EBITDA and cashflow basis.

Blue Ridge Wellness, a medical dispensary located in Parkville, Maryland, is on a revenue run rate of approximately US$4.3 million. TerrAscend expects to achieve significant sales and margin improvement at this location with the launch of adult-use and by offering a complete selection of its high-quality brands including Kind Tree, Gage, Cookies and Wana. The Company has plans to relocate this dispensary to a new, larger storefront it has already secured. This 3,900 square foot prime location is conveniently located near the White Marsh Mall, a high-traffic retail center. The Company expects to complete the relocation of Blue Ridge in the next six months. With the close of the Transaction, TerrAscendโ€™s retail footprint increases to 36 dispensaries nationwide.

โ€œAdding a third dispensary in Maryland is an important step in our strategy to become a market leader in the state. We anticipate that Blue Ridge, combined with our other Maryland dispensaries, will drive substantial revenue growth and profitability for TerrAscend, even prior to our scheduled move to a prime location later this year. With less than a day until the launch of adult-use in Maryland, we are focused on reaching the four-dispensary cap as our northeast business unit will soon be operating in Maryland under the same successful business model we built in New Jersey,โ€ said Jason Wild, Executive Chairman of TerrAscend.

The CSE has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this news release. Neither the CSE nor its Market Regulator (as that term is defined in the policies of the CSE) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this release.

Caution Regarding Cannabis Operations in the United States
Investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under the US Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute, or possess cannabis in the United States. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable US federal money laundering legislation.

While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward non-enforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with medical or adult-use cannabis programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve TerrAscend of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against TerrAscend. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a significant risk to the business of TerrAscend and any proceedings brought against TerrAscend thereunder may adversely affect TerrAscend's operations and financial performance.

Yeah, that is definitely a concern. $22 mill seems pretty steep in this environment for ONE dispensary.
It had better be the Golden Goose. lol

They could probably pick up multiple locations from some of the distressed operators for the same amount of money, but Jason Wild seems to think this one location is the golden ticket.

The bulk of the purchase is in stock. This is going to dilute the current shareholders.

US$22 million transaction, including minimal US$1.5 million cash component, expected to be immediately accretive on an EBITDA and cashflow basis

8,500 square foot dispensary located in close proximity to Delaware, with no other dispensaries within a 25-mile radius

TORONTO, June 08, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TerrAscend Corp. ("TerrAscend" or the "Company") (CSE: TER) (OTCQX: TRSSF), a leading North American cannabis operator, today announced that on June 7, 2023 it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Derby 1, LLC (d/b/a โ€œPeninsula Alternative Healthโ€), a medical dispensary in Maryland. The transaction will add a second dispensary to the Companyโ€™s Maryland footprint in advance of adult-use sales, which will begin on July 1, 2023. Under the terms of the agreement, TerrAscend will acquire Peninsula Alternative Health (โ€œPeninsulaโ€) for total consideration of US$22.1 million (the "Transaction"), including US$1.5 million in cash, with the remainder in a combination of existing debt, a sellerโ€™s note, and stock.

Cannabis Stocks For 2023: What You Need To Know

Cannabis Industry Profits With Marijuana Leaves With Hundreds High Quality
Cannabis is big business.GETTY
Ever wonder why the term โ€œ420โ€ is associated with cannabis use? There are many rumors about how it came into being. However, the most credible story seems to be the Waldos in the early 1970s.

The Waldos were a group of five high school friends attending San Rafael High School in Marin County, California. At approximately 4:20 p.m. the group would gather around a school statue of Louis Pasteurโ€“a chemist of all peopleโ€“and light up their marijuana joints. They would sit on a wall adjacent to the statue and enjoy their time together, hence the โ€œWaldos.โ€ 420 became their code as the guys went about their school day. A rallying cry if you will.

However, 420 gained real traction when one of the Waldos got work as a roadie for the legendary band The Grateful Dead. How serendipitous that one of these young men would work for this particular band, whose lead guitarist, Jerry Garcia, was an infamous pot smoker.

Fifteen years later in Oakland, California a group of Deadheads (fans of the band) put flyers on car windshields, in door jams and other public places that invited people to light up on April 20, 1990 at 4:20 in the afternoon. One of these flyers ended up with Steve Bloom, a former reporter for the cannabis focused magazine High Times. The magazine printed the flyer the following spring solidifying 420 in cannabis culture forever.

This culture continues but things have changed a lot since those days. The emerging legal cannabis market is one of the bigger economic forces in a generation. It offers potential operators and investors a huge opportunity.

In 1996, California was the first state to legalize a medical cannabis program. Alaska, Oregon and Washington state soon followed. In 2012, Colorado and Washington were the first to make cannabis fully legal at the state level. In 2018, Canada fully legalized cannabis sales.

There are now 40 states with some type of legal cannabis program, Of those, 21, along with Washington D.C., are fully legal for adult-use while 18 remain medical-use only. Only ten states and the Federal government continue to stick their collective heads in the sand and maintain cannabis as an illegal substance.

I became very interested in medical cannabis over a decade ago. Not as a consumer, but as an investor. My entire career has been in healthcare finance, including almost two decades as an equity analyst with a large investment bank. I was amazed at the anecdotal health and wellness evidence that was creeping out of the woodwork with regards to cannabis. Beyond that, adult-use programs seemed to have real traction with a number of states following Colorado and Washingtonโ€™s lead.

I begged my bosses to let me jump into this massive new market. After all, cannabis is likely the biggest new market of the past century. But the answer was a resounding no. I was forbidden to research this estimated $50-$100 billion market before legalization as my firm was a federally regulated financial institution. Said differently, all this current spending was going to shift from an illegal cash business to a legal, regulated market.

As more states legalized, comparisons to the end of Prohibition were made. But that does a disservice to cannabis. The plant offers so much more than mere recreation. For example, health and wellness. This is what drew me to the market in the first place. In June 2018, Epidiolex, the first approved drug derived from the cannabis plant, was approved by the FDA.

There is also another cannabis plant: hemp. It has many industrial uses as well as the primary source of cannabidiol or CBD. It is a compound thought to convey benefits without the โ€œhighโ€ associated with marijuana. The market potential is enormous. Important to note, hemp was legalized at the federal level via the Farm Bill of 2018.

Today we have several publicly traded U.S. cannabis companies with professional C-suites, strong balance sheets, $100s of millions in revenue and growing brand recognition. In 2021, some companies achieved $1 billion in total sales.

This has become a sector that anyone can invest in, but caution is warranted. Here are three things to know before you commit capital.

Know The History
In my view, there have been five distinct eras of cannabis investment and growth. All with their own ups and downs. This is how I see legal cannabis evolving over the past 25-plus years.

Grassroots Business Development, 1996-2010. It all started in 1996 when California created the first medical cannabis program in the country. Early investors and entrepreneurs took big risks both financially and legally to get started.

From โ€œToe-Holdโ€ To โ€œFoot-Hold.โ€ 2010-2018. As legal cannabis programs expanded across the U.S., professional investors and sophisticated entrepreneurs took note of the massive opportunity emerging. Some investment bankers quit their high paying jobs to form startups or to โ€œwrap-upโ€ growing private businesses. Cannabis-focused private equity companies were formed. Altria and Constellation Brands invested billions in the early Canadian cannabis market.

A New, Investable Market Takes Shape, 2018-2020. With the legalization of cannabis nationally in Canada, U.S. cannabis companies went public through reverse take-overs of already publicly traded Canadian companies. This gave them a new currency to fund future growth even if it was only on the small Canadian Stock Exchange or CSE. Individual investors and some hedge funds went from mere dabbling to outright trading in cannabis stocks.

The Full Monty, 2020-2022. In November 2020, Joseph Biden and Kamala Harris took the White House. And just days into the New Year 2021, the Georgia Senate runoff election pushed the Senate blue giving democrats 51 potential votes. These elections gave the U.S. a best-case policy outcome for cannabis and powered the sector to all-time highs. But it didnโ€™t happen. Despite cannabis being legal in most U.S. states, the issue turned political.


Cannabis Capitulation (throwing in the towel), 2022. It was widely expected that the first federal legislation on cannabis would happen during the 2022 Lame Duck Congress. Both sides of the aisle were ready to allow legal cannabis businesses access to the federal banking system through the SAFE Banking Act (Secure and Fair Enforcement Banking Act). However, at the last minute, lawmakers could not find political common ground and the legislation failed again. The publicly traded stocks tanked.

Is a new era beginning in 2023? I think so but it has yet to define itself. Uncertainties have re-emerged.

The cannabis market is suffering similar stresses as other retail businesses with inflation, rising interest rates and other macro pressures hurting all retail. Moreover, efforts to loosen federal illegality have clouded over again. The same cannabis champions in Congress remain but they need to reorganize.

The stocks have cooled (frozen?) and sit at some of their lowest levels. That said, cannabis is not going away and there are many good companies to choose from. Interest will return. Iโ€™m sure of it.

This leads me to my second point: cannabis stocks are extremely volatile.

cannabis_carroll
North American Marijuana IndexFACTSET, COMPANY REPORTS, THOMAS CARROLL RESEARCH AND ESTIMATES.
The chart above illustrates five years of the North American Marijuana Index. This is an index made up of many cannabis stocks that operate across North America.

Why Is There So Much Volatility? Three Important Reasons To Understand.
โ€ข Massive policy conflict: There remains vastly different viewpoints about cannabis and how to establish guidelines. The biggest conflict is federal illegality while 80% of states have legal cannabis. How about the FDA (a federal agency) approving a medication directly-based cannabis? Or U.S. exchanges allowing Canadian cannabis companies to list their shares but not U.S. companies.

โ€ข Limited stock market: The strong U.S. cannabis companies cannot be listed on U.S. exchanges. Again, this is because of federal illegality. They must list their shares on smaller CSE and trade โ€œover-the-counterโ€ in the U.S. This substantially removes the breadth and depth of broad investor participation.

โ€ข Little to no institutional investment: A couple years ago, Bank of America estimated that only 4% of U.S. cannabis stocks were owned by institutional investorsโ€“the so called โ€œsmart money.โ€ These folks take big positions and hold them. They trade around dollars, not dimes. Lack of institutional interest stems directly from the limited U.S. listings and federal illegality. Given recent setbacks, this small percentage is likely even smaller today. Essentially all cannabis stocks are โ€œtradedโ€ (not invested) by small, unsophisticated investors.


Is Cannabis A Good Investment Now?
Well, all this negative stuff above still exists. In fact, the regulatory environment is cloudier today than it was just a couple years ago.

That said, new catalysts are appearing again. Here are a few of them:

โ€ข A new โ€œCole Memoโ€ in the works?: Some believe that Merrick Garland will put in place an official memo indicating the federal government will limit enforcement of federal cannabis laws on the books. Former U.S. Attorney General James Cole put this in place in 2013.

โ€ข The SAFE Banking Act is back in play: Some believe this important bill may become law this year loosening many of the financial restrictions currently placed on cannabis. Janet Yellen even commented on this at a Senate Finance Committee meeting just last month on March 16.

โ€ข Kentucky legalizes medical cannabis program: In March, the Kentucky Governor signed the bill into law. This is important as Congressโ€™ biggest cannabis opponent is Mitch McConnellโ€“Senator from Kentucky. He will have to soften his position for state constituents.

โ€ข The Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) is considering listing of U.S. cannabis stocks. The company TerrAscend (TRSSF) is apparently making headway and may be the first to be listed on the TSX. In my view, this would open the floodgates to a more liquid market and could convince the Nasdaq to do the same.

As these and others gain traction, cannabis stocks should again appear on investor radar screens.

Despite continued challenges and potential positive catalysts one thing remains the sameโ€“cannabis is not going away. The legal market continues to grow, and many good companies are established and fully operational.

Take Green Thumb (GTBIF) for instance. In 2018 the company generated $62 million in sales. This year it is expected to exceed $1 billion. The balance sheet will have essentially no debt by the end of the year ($37 million in net debtโ€“cash minus debt). Whatโ€™s more impressive? This company generated $159 million in cash flow from operations in 2022. Remember, accounting can tell many stories but cash doesnโ€™t lie.

Even more impressive, Green Thumb and all other U.S. cannabis companies perform like this with one โ€œfinancial handโ€ tied behind their back.

You see, under Section 280E of the internal revenue code, the IRS prohibits cannabis companies from taking normal business deductions like any other business. This makes cannabis company tax rates enormous. When this gets fixedโ€“and it willโ€“these companies will become even more profitable overnight.


Again, all the good and bad news remains out there for all to see. And it feels like investors have been worn out by the volatility of the prior years.

Times during investor capitulation when fear and uncertainty are maxed out prove to be great investment opportunities. Despite the fact that cannabis investing is completely out of favor, legal cannabis is here to stay.

Whatโ€™s The Best Way To Get Involved As An Investor?
How about an exchange-traded fund? ETFs are like mutual funds in that they own a lot of stocks and are diversified, but you can easily trade them like stocks.

I like the AdvisorShares Pure US Cannabis ETF (MSOS). This is managed by cannabis investor Dan Ahrens and it focuses on the U.S. cannabis stocks (like Green Thumb) that are doing well.

Currently, MSOS is priced under $6, close to its all-time lows since trading began in fall of 2020. It is down more than 50% from late November 2022 when Congress failed to deliver in the Lame Duck. But it traded as high as $55 a share in early 2021.

And, this ETF has done something amazing. Despite its large price decline, investors keep putting money in it. When an ETF is declining, investors usually run for the hills. Not with MSOS. Inflows continue to exceed outflows.

While $55 a share may be a long way away, Iโ€™d expect prices to rise again as catalysts like those above begin to emerge and Congress starts talking about legalization again.

If youโ€™d like to dabble in some specific stocks, here are a few options I think are interesting.

Weโ€™ve already talked about Green Thumb. Consider it a blue-chip cannabis stock.

The next is MariMed (MRMD). CNBCโ€™s Tim Seymour called this company the best cannabis stock youโ€™ve never heard of, and I agree. In 2023, the company is expected to generate more than $150 million in sales and $36 million in Ebitda. Thatโ€™s an Ebitda margin of 23%. As a comparison, the entire S&P 500 is expected to generate a 20% margin this year.

The last is a small cannabis fintech company called POSaBIT Systems (POSAF). This company has developed a compliant electronic payment system for cannabis stores. It also sells its own point-of-sale devices like โ€œcash registersโ€ and handheld checkout devices. This allows customers to use a debit card to buy their cannabis products. Remember, cannabis is still mostly a cash business, which creates its own set of challenges.

The market really likes the companyโ€™s products. In 2020, POSaBIT had sales of less than $8 million for the whole year. This year, they are forecasting over $60 million.

I hope this article has piqued your interest. If you are ready, right now looks like a great time to learn about cannabis investing and perhaps even making some trades.

The coming years will bring many more opportunities and challenges for this โ€œnewโ€ and controversial market. Investing now with a longer time horizon offers some of the lowest valuations seen since cannabis companies went public despite continued sales, earnings and cash flow growth.

Once larger exchanges like the Nasdaq, NYSE and even the Toronto Stock Exchange allow cannabis stock listings, there will be a flood of new investor demand. As demand rises, so will prices.

TerrAscend Announces Closing of US$45.5 Million Non-Brokered Debt Financing
BY Canada NewsWire
โ€” 8:00 AM ET 10/12/2022
Non-dilutive financing to strengthen balance sheet and fund growth initiatives
TORONTO, Oct. 12, 2022 /CNW/ - TerrAscend Corp. (TRSSF) ("TerrAscend" or the "Company") (CSE: TER) , a North American cannabis operator, today announced that its New Jersey and Maryland subsidiaries, TerrAscend NJ, LLC, HMS Hagerstown, LLC, HMS Processing, LLC, and HMS Health, LLC, have closed on a non-brokered senior secured term loan (the "Loan") for gross proceeds of approximately US$45.5 million from funds managed by Pelorus Equity Group ("Pelorus"), a leading provider of commercial real estate loans for the cannabis sector. The Loan currently bears interest of 12.77% per annum and is based on a variable rate tied to the one month secured overnight financing rate (SOFR), with interest-only payments for the first 36 months. The maturity is 5 years from closing. There are no warrants being issued as part of the transaction. The Loan proceeds from this transaction will be used to fund the Company's growth initiatives.
"We are pleased to announce this non-dilutive financing at attractive terms given the current market environment," said Jason Wild, Executive Chairman of TerrAscend (TRSSF). "The Pelorus team has been a pleasure to work with, delivering exactly what they promised. We look forward to a long successful partnership as we continue to grow."
"With this agreement, we are excited to help fuel TerrAscend's (TRSSF) growth and long-term business goals," said Dan Leimel, CEO of Pelorus Equity Group and manager of the Pelorus Fund. "Our investment and lending philosophy is focused on being honest, upfront and doing what we say we're going to do for both our borrowers and our investors. As the demand for capital continues to increase in tandem with the growth of the cannabis industry, we plan to deliver even more innovative, flexible lending solutions and stabilized loans like this one to meet the needs of a wide range of clients, including MSOs, SSOs and ancillary businesses."
"We really enjoyed working with the Terrascend (TRSSF) team on our first deal together โ€“ they were great throughout the entire process," said Pelorus Equity Group Managing Partner Travis Goad. "As the largest privately held commercial real estate lender in cannabis, we are seeing an increase in deals coming through our pipeline, and are strategically closing on them โ€“ even during this time of market volatility. With the longest history in the space of deploying capital successfully and seeing it returned, we spend a lot of time underwriting the company we're working with, the real estate and the projections prior to making any loans. As more states come online and transition from medical to adult use, we remain excited about new opportunities in expanding markets like Maryland and New Jersey, and we are also closely following emerging markets like Alabama and Mississippi and will continue to look for strong sponsors, great projects and attractive markets."

Caution Regarding Cannabis Operations in the United States
Investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under the US Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable US federal money laundering legislation.
While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward non-enforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with medical or adult-use cannabis programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve TerrAscend (TRSSF) of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against TerrAscend (TRSSF). The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a significant risk to the business of TerrAscend (TRSSF) and any proceedings brought against TerrAscend (TRSSF) thereunder may adversely affect TerrAscend's (TRSSF) operations and financial performance.

TerrAscend and PharmHouse to settle and terminate offtake agreement
Mar. 15, 2021 8:27 AM ETTerrAscend Corp. (TRSSF)By: Khyathi Dalal, SA News Editor

TerrAscend (OTCQX:TRSSF) announced that the Ontario Superior Court of Justice approved a settlement agreement between its subsidiary TerrAscend Canada and PharmHouse for an offtake agreement dated Oct. 25, 2018.
Post the original agreement, PharmHouse was required to sell to TerrAscend Canada, cannabis from 20% of its licensed dedicated flowering space in Leamington, Ontario under a supply agreement with mutual obligations.
Settlement agreement provides that TerrAscend make a one-time purchase of a specific quantity of cannabis that was grown under the offtake agreement for a set price per gram, and for a one-time cash payment to PharmHouse for full and final satisfaction of any claims or obligations between the company and PharmHouse.

Both payments are immaterial to TerrAscend and it plans to monetize the purchased cannabis.
