“This is an exciting development for Veritas,” commented company director Nick Standish, “as it further develops our ability to commercialize our proprietary hemp and cannabis products, in addition to expanding our production potential to topical creams and edibles along with oil extracts. This purchase gives Veritas the potential to generate profits from toll manufacturing as well as moves the company closer to having a vertically integrated business model that supports the research of medicinal hemp and cannabis on a long term basis.”
