Sydney, Australia (ABN Newswire) - The Hydroponics Company Limited, to be renamed THC Global Group Limited (subject to shareholder approval), (THC Global or the Company) (ASX:THC) (OTCMKTS:HDRPF) has commenced supply of Endoca CBD products to its first Australian patients.

Key Points:

- First Australian patient prescribed THC Global medicinal cannabis product supplied from Endoca's CBD and CBD+CBDa product range

- THC Global is building strong supply chain for imported products in anticipation of launch of THC Global's proprietary manufactured products in 2019

- Endoca CBD+CBDa product range imported by THC Global is GMP Certified

- Ongoing patient and prescriber engagement by THC Global expected to support increased domestic demand

Through completion of this supply, THC Global has verified its supply line from manufacturer through to patient under federal Authorised Prescriber and Special Access Schemes as well as relevant state regulations.

THC Global is currently importing four products from Endoca's range, being its CBD oil in 3% and 15% concentrations, and Endoca's unique CBD+CBDa oils also in 3% and 15% concentrations.

The Company is building patient and prescriber awareness, including sponsoring educational events to highlight the benefits of treatment with medicinal cannabis and the pathways to access product in Australia. As awareness increases within the domestic market, THC Global expects to see corresponding increases in revenue generating product sales.

Documentation which doctors and other prescribers can use to assist in prescribing Endoca's products in Australia under the Authorised Prescriber Scheme and Special Access Schemes can be accessed by registering on the Medicinal Cannabis Medicines Portal (http://mcmp.com.au/).
