[{"type":"text","content":"\nDORADO, Puerto Rico, Aug. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GSRX Industries Inc. (OTCQB: GSRX) (“GSRX” or, the “Company”), through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Project 1493 LLC, announced today that it has received pre-qualification and preliminary approval for a medicinal cannabis manufacturing license in Puerto Rico, in addition to the eight dispensary pre-qualifications it has received to date.  Of its pre-qualified dispensary locations, Green Spirit RX dispensaries are currently operating in Dorado, Carolina, and San Juan (Hato Rey), with five locations in various stages of development and construction in Fajardo, Isla Verde, San Juan (Andalucia), Bayamón, and Old San Juan.\n The pre-qualified manufacturing license allows GSRX to develop and build a cannabinoid-based production business in Puerto Rico.  GSRX is already involved in cannabinoid-based product manufacturing in California via its Green Spirit Essentials, LLC and Spirulinex, LLC subsidiaries, and anticipates benefits from expanding its manufacturing operations in Puerto Rico. Start of production in Puerto Rico is dependent upon numerous factors, and will begin only after the business undergoes requisite inspections and is issued all requisite permits and licensing. GSRX is a majority stakeholder in two California-based companies, Green Spirit Essentials, LLC and Spirulinex, LLC, which engage in the extraction and manufacture of concentrates using non-volatile methods, as well as the processing and formulation of a variety of consumer products.  Spirulinex has developed an all-natural proprietary method of suspending cannabinoids in water to create aqueous solutions, thereby eliminating the need for oils, butter or synthetic lipids, and will offer products in which cannabinoids are scientifically dosed for consistency and quality assurance. Spirulinex has a robust patent portfolio, and continues to aggressively pursue protection for its innovations. Importantly, Puerto Rico’s cannabis law includes a reciprocity policy that allows dispensaries to serve patients who are visiting for business or pleasure, who hold a medical cannabis card from their home state. GSRX recently announced financial results for second quarter 2018, which cited record revenue for the Company (GXRS Second Quarter Financial Results). About GSRX In...
