"We are very pleased to be working with MedMen as Alternate Health expands into another key state in the U.S. market," said Dr. Michael Murphy, Chairman and CEO of Alternate Health.

"This is an exciting opportunity to work side-by-side with another leading company in the cannabis industry and open up new revenue streams in New York's tremendously promising market."
