Cannabis behemoth, Tilray (NASDAQ:TLRY), has received a purchase order from the Prince Edward Island Cannabis Management Corporation for recreational marijuana.

Tilray will supply Prince Edward Island cannabis outlets and online channels when Canada legalizes adult-use cannabis on October 17th.

The company will fulfill the purchase orders through its affiliate High Park Holdings Ltd. Created exactly for this type of market, High Park will produce and distribute a broad-based portfolio of adult-use cannabis brands and products.

“We’re thrilled High Park will have the opportunity to expand our national reach and grow our retail network by supplying Prince Edward Island’s four cannabis stores with a safe, secure and reliable source of adult-use cannabis products,”

High Park products are grown by master horticulturists using sustainable growing practices.

“Our intention is to deliver on the expectations the people of P.E.I. have of us by cultivating and distributing a selection of products that will lead the market in quality, excellence and craftsmanship.”

Tilray will join other cannabis suppliers to the province, OrganiGram Holdings (TSXV:OGI), Canopy Growth (TSE:WEED) and Prince Edward’s own Canada’s Island Garden.
