An Australian medical marijuana company has released its first cannabis pills

Australian medical marijuana company MMJ PhytoTech has generated its first revenues from sales of its cannabis pill.

The CBD (Cannabidiol) capsules, registered as a dietary supplement in Germany, started retailing in Europe in August for about 3 euros each ($4.70).

The company intends to produce a total 1 million of the Swiss-made capsules in 2015. The pills, only available in Europe, are sold online.

Tomas Edvinsson, CEO of Satipharm, said: “MMJ is very happy with this landmark accomplishment and we leave the month of August with significant momentum.”
