CHESAPEAKE, VA / ACCESSWIRE / November 1, 2021 / Instadose Pharma Corp. (formerly Mikrocoze) is pleased to announce that Instadose Pharma Corp (Canada) ("Instadose Canada", "Instadose" or the "Company"), has established strategic joint venture partners in Colombia (the "Colombia JV Partners") to export medical cannabis to Europe through Instadose's Global Distribution Platform.

Background
In 2016, then Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos signed the Law 1787 of 2016 (the "Colombia Law"), that created the regulatory framework to eventually legalize and regulate cannabis through Decree 613 of 2017 (the "Colombia Decree"). Under the Colombia Decree, medicinal cannabis would become fully legal to grow, process, import, and export cannabis for medical and scientific purposes. The Colombia Decree allowed licenses to be granted for possession of seeds as well as medicinal cannabis plants.
In May 2021, Instadose commenced discussions on a plan of joint ventures (the "Colombian Joint Ventures") for Colombia's risk-sharing partners to become Instadose's suppliers of no less than one million kilograms (1,000,000 kg) of medicinal cannabis per year throughout the term of the Colombian Joint Ventures. In doing so, the Colombian Joint Ventures would serve Instadose's Global Distribution Platform as its first medicinal cannabis cultivation participant located in South America. The related Colombian Partner companies are fully licensed to cultivate and produce medicinal cannabis and its related derivatives.
On July 23, 2021, current Colombian President Ivan Duque executed decree 811 of 2021 legalizing the export of cannabis for medicinal and other industries (the "Export Decree") The Export Decree is expected to be fully in effect by December 2021 according to Government communications. The Export Decree has set the stage for Colombia to play a significant role in the international Medicinal Cannabis marketplace.
In August 2021, Instadose and its Colombian JV Partners executed joint ventures agreements (the "Colombia JV Agreements") formalizing the scope of the Colombia Joint Ventures. Instadose and the Colombian JV Partners agreed to an initial five (5) year term for the operation of the Colombian Joint Ventures subject to the right of the parties (absent the existence of a default) to extend the initial term for up to four (4) additional five (5) year terms.
Operational Update
The following is an operational update regarding the progress made to date by Instadose and the Colombia JV Partners:
Executed Supply Agreements for 100,000 Kilograms of Medicinal Cannabis
Late in the third quarter of 2021, Instadose, through its subsidiary, IDP Macedonia, entered into supply agreements with the Colombia JV Partners governing the supply of the first 100,000 kilograms of medicinal cannabis to IDP Macedonia under the Colombia Joint Ventures. Delivery of the medical cannabis into North Macedonia is scheduled for the first quarter of 2022.
