Canada House Wellness Group, a fully integrated medical cannabis company, and Groupe Fuga Inc. have entered into a product acquisition agreement. Under the terms of the Agreement, Canada House’s wholly owned subsidiary, Abba Medix Corp., will distribute Fuga’s first product: Tropicanna Cookies – a strain with unique properties crafted in accordance with the industry’s highest standards – to its medical patient base and through its existing recreational sales channels.
Fuga is a medical and recreational cannabis grower located in Stoneham, Québec that has set out to handcraft superior quality cannabis and has succeeded by adhering to the human approach that defines the company: cultivation in small batches in living soil by a dedicated team. Abba specializes in providing high quality medical grade cannabis for patients seeking cannabinoid therapy solutions and currently offers strains developed specifically for armed forces veterans with PTSD exclusively to its patient base. Abba is pleased to add Tropicanna Cookies to its product offering for immediate availability to medical patients Canada-wide and will soon make this product available for recreational users as well.
Canada House also announces that its registered office has changed to 551 Rue Saint-Marc, Louiseville, Québec, J5V 2L4, Canada.
“We were driven by a very clear vision right from when we first embarked on this adventure: that of growing cannabis with care, in small batches, so we could satisfy the most demanding consumers, and in the process, also introduce a more human approach within the industry and a sense of community,” explains Philippe Laperrière, Founding CEO of Fuga.
“Fuga cannabis stems from the work of entrepreneurs committed to providing Canadians with a product of truly superior quality, grown in a methodical, judicious, inventive manner, and capable of rivaling even the biggest brands. Today, Fuga and Abba Medix are joining forces to render this exceptional product available to people with health issues unable to find better relief in prescription medication,” adds Chris Churchill-Smith, CEO of Canada House.
Superior Grade Cannabis
What sets Tropicanna Cookies apart is its high concentration of terpenes, Fuga’s chief focus. Developed by legendary cannabis breeder Oni Seeds from the parentage of Tangie and Girl Scout Cookies, this strain won the IC420 Growers Cup in 2019. With its shiny purple buds and packing a pungent aroma, Tropicanna Cookies will wow the most sophisticated connoisseurs and novice users alike. Energizing and stimulating, it delivers a reinvigorating effect that’s pure tonic.
From the start, Fuga promised to cultivate cannabis like no other, and to do it sustainably, by tapping into the passion of the team and nurturing customer satisfaction. Which is why Fuga chooses to harvest its plants in small batches, to sort and cut them by hand, and to ripen them over several weeks to obtain the finest product.
Fuga is Committed to Doing Good
The story that sparked the advent of Fuga is at the very core of the values that drive the company.
Philippe Laperrière suffered a severe head injury from a serious mountain biking accident. Unable to work due to the effects of the injury, he discovered that hockey players and other sport athletes use cannabis products to treat the most persistent concussion symptoms. “I was never a user, so the idea never crossed my mind before. The sale of cannabis had just been legalized, so I tried it. My symptoms totally disappeared.”
That’s when the idea of starting a business in this industry that would benefit both users and workers began to emerge.
Fuga (which is Latin for “flight”) took off shortly thereafter. “But it was imperative that the values Fuga projected not be empty slogans,” continues the company’s founder and CEO. Which explains why he opted for the small-scale growing of quality products and adopted organic cultivation. “It’s not the most profitable way to make money fast, but I want our company to embody the values it advocates. For both users and our employees, so that everyone can benefit from the best practices out there.”
