Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – August 29, 2019) – Body and Mind Inc. (CSE: BAMM) (OTCQB: BMMJ) (the “Company” or “BaM”) a multi-state operator, is pleased to provide an update on its expansion into Arkansas pursuant to its arrangements with Comprehensive Care Group LLC (“CCG“), which were previously disclosed on the Company’s news release dated March 21, 2019 and the Company’s Form 8-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on the same date. The companies are working together to develop a medical marijuana facility in West Memphis, Arkansas.

Construction of the dispensary and cultivation buildings are anticipated to start in early September and a general contractor agreement has been finalized with Grinder & Haizlip Construction. The renovation to the current building is fully funded and is expected to be completed in a four to five-month period, subject to local and state approvals.

The facility is anticipated to be approximately 10,000 square feet with roughly 7,000 square feet for cultivation and operations and 3,000 square feet for the dispensary. The cultivation area is anticipated to allow up to 50 plants and the cultivation facility has been designed to allow maximum production per plant.

“We are very pleased with our success in assisting CCG to obtain a dispensary license and are excited to be moving this project forward together,” stated Robert Hasman, director of the Company. “We are thrilled to be working with CCG and contributing our significant cultivation skills and retail experience to the project. This facility provides a path to launch Body and Mind products to patients in Arkansas and expand our brand awareness. We are also proud to have been selected as one of only 32 dispensary licenses awarded in Arkansas out of more than 200 applications.”

Arkansas’ marijuana laws currently allow reciprocity, which means medical marijuana patients with valid recommendations from other states can access medical marijuana in Arkansas if they fill out a visiting patient form and can provide proof of out-of-state registration. The Arkansas Department of Health requires cannabis in the state to be tested by an analytical testing laboratory for cannabinoid concentrations (CBD and THC), heavy metals, microbiological contaminants, solvents, water activity and moisture content.

The State of Arkansas allows medical patients and caregivers to purchase up to 2.5 ounces of marijuana, or 71 grams, of medical cannabis every 14 days from a state-approved dispensary.
