The new plants are a THC-dominant variety, which trigger a psychoactive response, whereas the earlier crop were cannabidiol, or CBD, dominant.

"We look forward to increasing our future cultivation footprint and quota as we ramp up production to meet global demand,” said Patricio Stocker of PharmaCielo Ltd.

Pharmacielo said in a statement that it "will not pursue the matter further" and that "no further details will be provided."

PharmaCielo is one of the first companies to apply following the August 10 announcement by the government that it is accepting applications.

The land is adjacent to PharmaCielo’s 27-hectare cannabis nursery and will be the site of a cannabis processing plant, oil extraction facility, and research center.
