TORONTO and GLIL YAM,
Israel, April 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- IM Cannabis
Corp. (CSE: IMCC) (NASDAQ: IMCC) (the "Company",
"IMCannabis", or "IMC"), a leading medical cannabis
company with operations in Israel
and Germany, entered, through its
subsidiary, a strategic distribution agreement with Vessel Brand
Inc, a subsidiary of Flora Growth Corp. ("Flora"), a global
consumer-packaged goods leader and pharmaceutical distributor,
headquartered in Carlsbad, CA.
IMC's brands are well known in the premium Israeli cannabis
market, facilitating the import and wholesale of premium medical
cannabis through retail pharmacies, online platform, and
distribution center. Vessel is a premium cannabis accessories brand
with a wide range of products.
"The Israeli Ministry of Health recently decreed that grinders
can only be legally purchased in pharmacies," said Oren Shuster, Chief Executive Officer of IMC.
"We believe that Vessel premium accessories not only compliment our
premium cannabis flowers, but also bolster our pharmacies'
positioning as a one stop shop for a premium medical cannabis
experience."
"Israel is one of the world's
largest and longest standing medical cannabis markets and one in
which we expect to play a key role," noted Clifford Starke, Chief Executive Officer.
"Anticipation runs high as we embark on realizing our strategic
agenda, aiming to secure a significant market presence in
Israel together with IMC."
