WeedMD will deliver its indoor Ontario-grown cannabis under the Van der Pop brand for its Canadian patients starting in late 2017. The transaction marks Tokyo Smoke BrandCo's second licensing deal in Canada focused on combining its premium brands with medical licensed producers, to shape how future cannabis brands operate in Canada. </p>]]></content> <dc:identifier>1331452</dc:identifier> <dc:language>en</dc:language> <dc:publisher>GlobeNewswire Inc.</dc:publisher> <dc:contributor>WeedMD Inc.;Tokyo Smoke</dc:contributor> <dc:modified>Fri, 16 Feb 2018 05:13 GMT</dc:modified> </entry> <entry> <id>https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2017/04/18/1331444/0/en/Tokyo-Smoke-partners-with-Partisans-to-reimagine-the-classic-cannabis-pipe.html</id> <title type="text">Tokyo Smoke partners with Partisans to reimagine the classic cannabis pipe</title> <published>2017-04-18T13:30:00Z</published> <updated>2024-12-03T01:09:35Z</updated> <link rel="alternate" href="https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2017/04/18/1331444/0/en/Tokyo-Smoke-partners-with-Partisans-to-reimagine-the-classic-cannabis-pipe.html" /> <content type="html"><![CDATA[<p><span class="mw_region">TORONTO, ON</span><span>--(Marketwired - April 18, 2017) - </span> <a href="http://www.tokyosmoke.com" rel="nofollow" title="Tokyo Smoke">Tokyo Smoke</a> has partnered with <a href="http://www.partisanprojects.com/" rel="nofollow" title="Partisans">Partisans</a>, the world-renowned architecture and design firm behind <a href="https://www.canadianarchitect.com/features/the-worlds-best-bar/" rel="nofollow" title="Bar Raval">Bar Raval</a> and the <a href="http://www.partisanprojects.com/grotto-sauna/" rel="nofollow" title="Grotto Sauna">Grotto Sauna</a>, to reimagine the classic pipe, creating two wholly innovative takes on the ubiquitous cannabis accessory.
