True Leaf Brands Inc. signed a supply-and-purchase agreement on June 21 with online cannabis marketplace Namaste Technologies to expand its direct-to-consumer distribution network.

Namaste is a global cannabis e-commerce platform with multiple websites under various brands, True Leaf said in a release. True Leaf’s hemp-based supplements for pets will initially be sold on Namaste’s CannMart.com.

True Leaf’s hemp-based supplements will be the first products for pets sold by a Namaste e-commerce platform when the line launches on CannMart.com in the third quarter of 2019, True Leaf said.

“In addition to being in more than 3,500 stores across North America and Europe, we’re seeing tremendous growth online with direct-to-consumer sales, so we’re thrilled to partner with Namaste — a trusted name in the global cannabis marketplace,” said Darcy Bomford, Founder and CEO of True Leaf. "We’re confident Namaste’s customers will embrace our products to improve the quality of life of their pets."

Namaste will donate 10 per cent of all profits generated from the first month of sales to local animal rescue shelters.

"We’re building a technologically exciting marketplace for the adult-use cannabis market where we can reimagine the experience available to both our customers and vendors," said Meni Morim, interim CEO at Namaste Technologies.
