Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 8:11 AM on Wednesday, September 17th, 2014

VANCOUVER, BC / September 17, 2014 / Enertopia Corporation (ENRT-OTCBB) (TOP-CSE) (the “Company” or “Enertopia”) announces the Burlington, Ontario Application is in the Health Canada Preliminary Screening process.

The company is pleased to advise shareholders that its Joint Venture partner, Lexaria Corp (LXRP), and the Company have submitted their application for Licensed Producer in July 2014 and are in regular correspondence with Health Canada with respect to specific aspects of the licensing process, which are being handled by Ontario Operations Manager Mr. Donald Shaxon as responsible person in charge.

The Burlington Joint Venture with Lexaria Corp has applied to produce 10,000kg of Medical Marihuana per year under its Licensed Producer application. Enertopia has 51% interest in the joint venture and Lexaria Corp 49% as disclosed on April 9, 2014 in Enertopia’s press release #201424.

The Burlington JV has requested a Ready to build letter from Health Canada once the application has been accepted from Health Canada, see step 5 below.

For those not familiar with the Health Canada process for becoming a licensed producer, below are the levels to be reached through the application process. Note there are no specific process times for each step, however one could progress from preliminary screening to ready to build letter in as little as 90 to 120 days depending on the application submitted to Health Canada:

Step 1: Preliminary Screening
Step 2: Enhanced Screening
Step 3: Security Clearance
Step 4: Review
Step 5: Ready to build letter (if required by applicant)
Step 6: Pre-licence inspection
Step 7: Licensing

The Joint Venture (JV) has been active in the local community and has received very good community and media support. The JV also met with the local policing authority and upon licensing by Health Canada we have proposed that the local police could conduct security and swat team training at the facility. We are very pleased to be working closely with law enforcement and look forward to their insights in preventative and proactive security measures.

Enertopia at this time publically acknowledges its support for the Lexaria Corp policy on the responsible use of medical marijuana announced on August 28, 2014. Therefore, Enertopia is establishing a corporate policy wherein we will not knowingly sell medical cannabis containing more than 0.3% THC to any medical marijuana patient who is under the age of 21, unless it is in a form specifically approved by relevant government health agencies.

“Enertopia’s overriding responsibility is to cause no harm and keep Medical Marijuana as a safe and secure option for patients in search of natural healing options.” Stated President / CEO Robert McAllister.
