About Hellenic Dynamics plc
Founded in 2019, Hellenic Dynamics is specifically focused on the cultivation
and supply of THC ("tetrahy-drocannabinol") - dominant strains of medical
cannabis flowers, destined for the growing global medical can-nabis markets.
Hellenic Dynamics' core strategy is to develop and operate its 40,000 square
metre active culti-vation licence from its 195,506 square metre facility
located near Thessaloniki in Northern Greece. In full production, Hellenic
Dynamics is capable of producing over 54,000 kg of dried flowers per annum.
Hellenic Dynamics will take advantage of its relatively low cost base
resulting from a comparatively low cost of power, having its own running water
supply and the labour rates for skilled and semi-skilled labour in Northern
Greece.
29 European countries now allow medical cannabis via prescription and the
European cannabis market is ex-pected to reach $7.25 billion per annum by
2029. Sales of Hellenic Dynamics' dried THC-dominant cannabis flowers and
extracts are initially intended for export into Europe, in addition to other
international markets and domestically in Greece.
As the first medical cannabis cultivator to obtain a listing on the main
market for listed securities of the Lon-don Stock Exchange, Hellenic Dynamics
is significantly different to the number of CBD (Cannabidiol) related
companies that have appeared over the recent years. Hellenic Dynamics
cultivates THC-dominant medical cannabis flowers. THC-dominant medical
cannabis products are only available via a medical prescription. Medicinal
cannabis has been approved for use both in the United Kingdom and Germany,
plus 24 other Euro-pean countries, for conditions including but not limited to
chronic pain, intractable chemotherapy-related nau-sea, anxiety, insomnia,
Tourette's syndrome, substance use disorder, multiple sclerosis, IBS, spinal
cord treat-ment, lack of appetite due to HIV/AIDS, cachexia, anorexia and
glaucoma.
