LANGLEY, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 1, 2022 / Adastra Holdings Ltd.

"I am beyond proud of the team's innovative mindset and hard work, as Adastra continues to build on the transformational strategy set out earlier this year," said Michael Forbes, Chief Executive Officer of Adastra. "Q3 2022 included the receipt of two important licenses from Health Canada, enabling Adastra to possess and formulate with the controlled substance psilocybin and sell medically-formulated cannabis products. We expect this will add additional revenue streams to the business, further bolstering our income statement and maintaining long-term value for our shareholders."
