In an announcement that will most certainly enrage countless legacy cannabis consumers and growers, Canntrust Holdings (OTC: CNTTQ) this morning announced that it is returning to the Canadian marketplace. Products under the firms brands Liiv and Synr.g are anticipated to hit retailer shelves this month, with further products to be made available early in the new year.
While the company is currently focused on relaunching itself within the Canadian recreational cannabis market, it also remains focused on medical consumers, with a full line of medical products to be relaunched “in the near future.”
While products have returned to market, the company continues to indicate that it remains under CCAA protections, a form of bankruptcy for large corporations, while it continues to resolve civil litigation and conduct a strategic review. The firm has reportedly terminated a significant portion of its employees to cut costs while revenues were non-existent as it worked to satisfy matters with Health Canada.
The return to market for Canntrust effectively puts a cap on much of the regulatory drama that ensued following the discovery in 2019 that the company was growing cannabis illegally in unlicensed space at its facilities in southern Ontario. Despite the findings being made in early July 2019, licenses held by the company were not formally suspended until September 2019, which were subsequently reinstated in May and August this year. It’s unclear if any criminal charges were laid against the former management of the company.
Canntrust Holdings last traded at US$0.17 on the OTC Markets.

Bad things happen to companies but also great things can come out of it.
