Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / October 2, 2014 / My Marijuana Canada Inc. MYM (the "Company" or "My Marijuana") is a listed company on the Canadian Securities Exchange. My Marijuana is currently awaiting Health Canada's approval of its application for a producer's license, which was submitted in June 2014, to becoming a producer and distributor of medical marijuana in Canada.

The Company has obtained a list of over 1,300 licensed patients of marijuana as well as the industry expertise of Medicann's directors, Chris Jackson and Michelle Hackett. In another transaction, the Company purchased an 8 acre parcel of land for a growing facility, which it plans to complete by February 2015. The planned building is a 14,000 sq. ft. state of the art medical marijuana production facility that would handle growing, processing, packaging, storage, distribution and administration. The facility will be capable of producing 5,500 lbs. to 6,000 lbs. of 8 to 12 strains of marijuana annually. The property is capable of handling the Company's future phase two expansion of up to 120,000 sq. ft. of greenhouse growing operations.

CEO Chris Jackson says Health Canada has been very responsive with the company's application and is very optimistic about the future of the medical marijuana industry. "We are solely focused on getting the company licensed so we can provide patients safe and easy access to pure pharmaceutical grade medical marijuana."

The medical marijuana market in Canada is currently in flux following major changes to the governing regulations of the industry. For the first time in history, there is an opportunity for commercial distribution of medical marijuana to be provided to licensed patients across the country. The Company's assets position itself strongly to capitalize on the recent changes and become a leader in an emerging market.

Based on Health Canada's continued growth models, it is predicted that there will be 449,984 total licensed users by 2024, creating an estimated market value worth CAD $1.5 - 4.3 billion. The medical marijuana patient list acquired by the Company of over 1300, represents a large percent of the existing registered MMPR patients. The Company seeks to aggressively grow it's customer base under the MMPR in order to become a dominant player in the Canadian medical marijuana industry.

The Company is also in talks with various parties, exploring other business opportunities that surround the medical marijuana business, that also have impressive growth opportunities.
