Aurora Announces Exclusive Rights to Cannabis Inhaler

Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Nov. 5, 2015) - Aurora Cannabis Inc. ("Aurora" or the "Company") (CSE:ACB)(OTCQB:ACBFF)(21P.F)(WKN:A1C4WM) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a letter of intent ("LOI") for exclusive distribution rights to Mystabis, a revolutionary inhaler that provides pressurized metered doses of cannabis.

The terms of the arrangement allow Aurora sole Canadian distribution of the device. The ability to administer metered doses is something that both patients and the medical community have been waiting for eagerly. Without the use of any form of heat or combustion, this pressurized inhaler ("pMDI") delivers exact quantities of cannabinoids in a manner that provides rapid medicinal effects while preserving the entourage effects of the cannabinoids and terpenoids. Physicians will find the delivery mechanism to be very familiar and will appreciate the precision controlled per dose delivery of both the THC and CBD dominant formulations.

Terry Booth, CEO, commented, "We are very excited to have the opportunity to bring what we believe to be a game-changing medical device to Canadians. Aurora's scientists and our American partner scientists have conducted extensive research into the validity of this device and are confident that Health Canada, healthcare practitioners and patients are likely to recognize this easy-to-use delivery system as being amongst the safest, most consistent, and most reliable methods of effectively administering medical cannabis."

The proposed transaction is subject to the completion of satisfactory due diligence. The finalized terms will be released upon closing of the definitive agreement.

Operations Update:

The Company is also pleased to provide an update of the status of its application to amend the license allowing for the sale of medical marijuana. The Company's Chief Brand Officer, Neil Belot, commented, "As the Marihuana for Medical Purposes Regulation ("MMPR") continues to evolve, Licensed Producers are being held to increasingly stringent standards by Health Canada, and Aurora welcomes the added scrutiny from the inspectors from Health Canada's Regions and Programs Bureau who have been visiting the facility over the past few weeks. Aurora has been in continual dialogue with Health Canada's Office of Medical Cannabis and is confident that these extra steps in the sales licencing process are in the best interest of Aurora shareholders, patients and the Office of Medical Cannabis. Our goal has always been to raise the bar for the medical cannabis industry in Canada and we are thrilled to be setting the new standards. Moving forward, we believe all Licenced Producers will be held to the same standards during their annual license renewal process and patients across the country will have an improved experience overall."
