US (CA): Tikun Olam opens $25M cannabis cultivation, processing facility in California

Last Thursday, multistate operator Tikun officially opened its cannabis cultivation and processing facility in Adelanto, California, after almost two years and an investment in infrastructure and technology of more than $25 million.

The opening happened with welcoming remarks from Tikun and Adelanto Mayor Gabriel Reyes. Attendees, including Adelanto City Council members, got taken on a behind-the-scenes tour to learn more about the facility and its innovative technology.

The 80,000 sq ft Nextgen Light Deprivation Automated Greenhouse, with a 20,000 sq ft support facility, and 32,000 sq ft production and processing center, are outfitted with technologies like Ultra-Efficient Spectrum King LED lighting, fully-automated Meteor Fertigation system, Dual Nextgen evaporative cooling system with 1000 psi humidity controls, among other features. 

The facility allows for cultivation, liquid chromatography analytics, CO2 supercritical extraction, formulation, trimming, packaging, and distribution, all on-site.  The first harvest is scheduled for early 2020 and the products from this facility are projected to be available in February.  

Tikun grows six medicinal varietals which will be grown at the Adelanto facility and have shown clinical efficacy in providing symptomatic relief for a wide variety of conditions.

"We're delighted to unveil the first of three phases in our plan to provide Tikun's premium cannabis medicine to all of California," said President of Tikun California, Rami Vardi. "We are humbled by the Adelanto community's encouraging reception of Tikun's operation and we look forward to further expanding our reach statewide, which this milestone opening will soon make possible."

Israeli-based Tikun Olam has been aggressively expanding across Southern California and just last month inked a deal with leading U.S. cannabis retailer, MedMen, to widen its retail presence in the state.
