The latter is a medical retail dispensary applicant in the upcoming New Jersey round of applications, anticipated next year (2020).

Its application, if successful, will provide ACS with a cultivation, manufacturing/processing and retail sales license in the state of New Jersey, home to over 9 million people and where there are only 12 issued licenses.

"We are excited about partnering with ACS, a highly experienced group recognized in the medical and recreational cannabis space that bring a track record of innovation and success," said Karl Kottmeier, President of Chemistree.

"The potential to expand Chemistree's presence outside of California and Washington state and ultimately introduce our signature brand Sugarleaf to the large New Jersey consumer base by partnering with ACS is consistent with our growth strategy."

Logical place

He added: "New Jersey is a logical place for Chemistree to expand into and bring the Sugarleaf brand to the New Jersey market. I would like to specifically thank Nico Escondido, our newest board member for the introduction to this exciting opportunity and I am impressed with the significant impact he is already clearly having on our company."

ACS was established by a team of seasoned professionals from the legal medicinal and adult-use marijuana industry, whose collective experience exceeds 50 years and includes over 20 cultivation, processing, and manufacturing licenses across four states.

Recently appointed Chemistree board member Escondido is a founding member of the ACS team.

Chemistree shares added 6.8% to stand at $0.63 in Toronto.
