Canadian marijuana company Aurora Cannabis Inc (ACB.TO) on Thursday decided to partner with Danish tomato and pepper producer Alfred Pedersen & Son to produce and sell cannabis in Europe.
Aurora’s growth plan comes at a time when Canada is set to legalize the sale of recreational marijuana by July, becoming the second country in the world to do so after Uruguay.
Tomato and pepper – often grown in greenhouses – are the most common choices to convert to weed as they have similar growth requirements.
Aurora’s partner received its licence to cultivate cannabis from Denmark’s Medicines Agency on January 1.
