WeedMD (WMD) has been added to the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences Index ETF (HMMJ).

WeedMD is the parent company of WeedMD RX and Starseed Medicinal, license holders producing and distributing cannabis products for both the medical and adult-use markets.

The company owns and operates a 158-acre greenhouse, outdoor and processing facility in Strathroy, On, as well as a 26,000 sq. ft. processing facility in Aylmer, On specializing in cannabis extraction.

The company also maintains supply agreements with Shoppers Drug Mart and seven provincial distribution agencies where its adult-use brands Color Cannabis and Saturday are sold.
