Compass Cannabis operates one of the longest-running networks of holistic medicinal cannabis clinics in Canada. The company is zooming in on Australia’s burgeoning medicinal cannabis market.
Founder of Compass Cannabis, Dave Martyn, predicts an ‘explosive’ period of growth in the Australian medicinal cannabis sector over the next 7–8 years. He pinpoints why Australia is one of the best international markets outside of North America for Compass’s expansion:
Positive regulatory environment, including eased conditions for over-the counter sales of medicinal cannabis products.
Strong patient growth – up from 30,000 active patients in 2020 to 45,000 in early 2021.
Gateway to the Asia-Pacific region.
The company has launched two Compass Lifestyle Clinics in Sydney and the Blue Mountains as part of its A$2 million investment in Australia. Further expansion is in the pipeline. Employee headcount is now over 20 and primed to grow.
Pictures: ADVER/TWITTER TYRE tracks were the only reminder of traffic chaos in Wroughton last night – when road closures saw HGVs diverted into the village. Councillors said they were working with the borough council to ensure that the difficulties of Wednesday night, when several lorries tried to turn around or reverse up Brimble Hill, were not repeated. Ward councillors Cathy and Dave Martyn claimed a closure on A346 the resulted in articulated lorries and a bus being directed down Brimble Hill into Wroughton. The vehicles were faced with the closure on Marlborough Road, where Thames Water are digging up the road.
Swindon election: Holds for Conservatives and hope for Labour as first results revealed Labour councillors started the count in the borough council elections feeling very gloomy. The ended the first set of results – five councillors in four wards with room if not for optimism, at least some hope. The first result, Blunsdon and Highworth was a very solid hold for the Conservatives, electing new councillor Vijay Manro replacing cabinet member Maureen Penny. Kevin Small, long-term senior Labour councillor for Mannington & Western looked at risk, and the tightness of the vote was shown when candidates were looking at spoiled ballots very keenly indeed. But he emerged victorious by 132 votes. Labour’s majority slashed, but enough for a win.
