From today New Zealanders will be able to request access to medicinal cannabis dried flower for the first time ever,
after leading medicinal cannabis company Australian Natural Therapeutics Group (ANTG) has been granted the green light
to ship its locally cultivated product to New Zealand.
The Eve CBD flower will be accessed through New Zealand’s largest medicinal cannabis distributor, NUBU Pharmaceuticals,
which has also been instrumental in brokering this historic arrangement.
ANTG Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Cantelo, said this is a landmark deal for both countries.
“This agreement is not only a historic first for New Zealand, but also beneficial for the Australian industry as a
whole,” said Mr Cantelo.
“The high benchmarks in Australia for growing and producing medicinal cannabis has set us up as the best in the world,”
he said.
“We have a reputation and climate for growing excellent produce in general - it makes sense that we would produce the
highest quality medicinal cannabis product as well.”
“Our Kiwi neighbors will also have access to the highest quality Australian flower while their home-grown cultivation
industry starts producing.”
ANTG’s growing and manufacturing facility complies with international quality standards (GACP and GMP), securing the
gold standard in growing and manufacturing medicinal cannabis.
Co-Founder & CEO of NUBU Pharmaceuticals, Mark Dye, couldn’t be happier: “Being the first company to legally sell cannabis in New
Zealand is beyond exciting - I can’t even begin to explain the blood, sweat and tears it has taken to get here.”
“I am excited for the patients – they have been calling out for this for decades. I am so proud it is the team at NUBU
that has been able to make this happen for them,” said Mr Dye.
“ANTG are very much leading the Australasian cannabis industry. We are over the moon to have them as a distribution
partner.”
