Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC Pink: TRUFF) (“Red Light Holland” or the “Company“), an Ontario-based corporation engaged in the production, growth and sale of a premium brand of magic truffles to the legal, recreational market within the Netherlands, is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, RLH Netherlands B.V. (the “Purchaser“), has completed the acquisition (the “Acquisition“) of SR Wholesale B.V. (“SR Wholesale“), one of the Netherlands’ premiere distributors for quality psychedelic truffles. In 2020, SR Wholesale generated over $2.44 Million in revenues[1], and over $822,0001 in gross profit, with approximately $400,0001 of cash and working capital currently on hand. SR Wholesale also distributes popular CBD products, cannabis seeds, smart shop items, and headshop products, among others. SR Wholesale has established a distribution network of over 400 companies that sell their products across Europe, including working with sub-distributors which provide products to over 1,000 shops in countries like the Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Czech, Greece, UK, France, and Portugal.

Founded in 2017, SR Wholesale has grown to become one of the most recognized and trusted distribution companies in the Netherlands. In connection with the Acquisition, Red Light Holland is excited to announce that Mr. Shai Ramsahai, Founder of SR Wholesale, has joined the Red Light Holland team on closing as Vice-President to oversee the integration of SR Wholesale into the Red Light Holland ecosystem, and grow the distribution business for Red Light Holland globally. The acquisition will create immediate synergies and enhance Red Light Holland’s growth and expansion strategy by:

  • Creating the necessary scale to support the growth of the continuing trend towards increased usage of psychedelics, including opening up the distribution channels to hundreds of stores for Red Light Holland’s iMicrodose Packs
  • Providing access to many new, unique and legendary product offerings within the Psychedelic sector including obtaining sole-ownership of the established Mister Maka Brand (www.MisterMaka.com) which produces Magic Truffles
  • Giving Red Light Holland the instant opportunity to white-label to help with brand growth, exposure and expansion
  • Creating new revenue generation opportunities across Red Light Holland’s e-commerce platform at www.iMicrodose.nl
  • Allowing Red Light Holland to have access to established brands and a vast array of products in sectors outside of Psychedelics, including existing inventory to reach sales opportunities and increased profit margins
  • Immediately becoming a distribution leader with expertise and know how, while looking to combine the complementary skill sets to focus on increasing SR Wholesale’s market share in the Netherlands and other global markets
  • Instantly, growing the Red Light Holland infrastructure and staff with current leaders in the psychedelic industry, including Mr. Shai Ramsahai, Founder of SR Wholesale, who will join Red Light Holland as the Company’s Vice-President
  • Gaining invaluable access to data and personal connections, including a plentiful and important list of email, production, white-label, retail store, retail product and social contacts

“The acquisition of SR Wholesale marks the latest step in the Company’s growth and expansion strategy, as we continue to move forward with a positive business outlook focused on achieving revenue growth, profitability and value creation for our shareholders. We expect this transaction to serve as a launchpad for Red Light Holland to broaden operations, create new homes for our iMicrodose packs and build brand exposure into multiple European markets. Others companies in the sector can keep telling people or assuming how people should consume psilocybin years from now, while we will continue offering people what they want right now, while concentrating on immediate revenue, profit and growth” said Todd Shapiro, the Chief Executive Officer and Director of the Company. “We are quite thrilled, after months of tough negotiations and careful due diligence, to move forward as the largest legal psychedelic distribution publicly traded company in the world.[2] As well, we are truly so pleased to work closely with Mr. Shai Ramsahai, who is one of the brightest, most determined and likeable entrepreneurs I’ve ever come across. And he is an absolute legend in the Netherlands!”

Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC Pink: TRUFF) (“Red Light Holland” or the “Company“) an Ontario-based corporation engaged in the production, growth and sale of a premium brand of magic truffles to the legal, recreational market within the Netherlands, announces it has completed the sale and import (the “Transaction“) of the Company’s high-grade consumer packaged goods (“iMicrodose Packs“) from the Netherlands to Canada under a Health Canada psilocybin import permit obtained by CCrest Laboratories Inc. in partnership with Shaman Pharma Corp.

The Transaction between Red Light Holland and the Montreal, Quebec-based cGMP lab, CCrest Laboratories, is the first of a multi-phase project to expand into the mental wellness pharmaceutical sector by demonstrating a legally compliant route for supplying raw materials containing psychoactive molecules, produced abroad by Red Light Holland, and imported into Canada.

“Today is another ground-breaking, precedent setting and defining leap forward for the entire Psychedelic sector as Red Light Holland has successfully expanded the reach of iMicrodose packs across international borders. As interest in novel psychedelic therapies increase on a daily basis, we will continue to aim to take our natural-occurring packaged psilocybin products to global markets, allowing Red Light Holland to increase our distribution and sales channels. The agreement with Shaman Pharma to utilize its partnership with CCrest Laboratories is part of Red Light Holland’s growth strategy, complementing the international groundwork which we established in the Netherlands, as one of the only legal sources for producing natural raw materials containing psilocybin,” said Todd Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Red Light Holland. “The collaboration with Shaman Pharma, who have successfully received our iMicrodose packs on Canadian soil, simply put, is a significant day for the Company and its shareholders. We are very proud to have our Netherlands grown Magic Truffles designed for responsible use via education and information, in Canada. They’ve arrived home and Red Light Holland continues to trailblaze across the world.”

The Transaction is performed with the intent of exploring continued collaboration beyond successfully completing the shipment of Red Light Holland’s consumer packaged goods under a Health Canada import permit. The multi-phase scientific undertaking by CCrest Laboratories is planned to perform each phase of developing viable ingredients to address the demanding requirements of clinical trials, patient’s Special Access Programs, and the downstream supply of production-ready substances.

“We are delighted to build a relationship with Red Light Holland as we access the global industry for the very best of both product supply and, with recognition of their position as a market leader in establishing a supply chain from Europe to North America, the ability to meet the exacting needs of a globalized medical marketplace,” stated Alex Grenier, Chief Executive Officer of Shaman Pharma and President of CCrest Laboratories. “Today, we succeeded in demonstrating our strong ability to navigate the stringent regulatory landscape for conducting international transactions of controlled substances and setting the bar for scientific excellence. Furthermore, through this collaboration with Red Light Holland, we were pleased to find that Mr. Shapiro’s vision and ethic is well aligned with compatible long-term objectives for pioneering the psychedelic therapy sector in a manner that exceeds the most complex compliance requirements.”

  • Wisdom, Psychedelic VR experience has been accepted to Steam
  • Wisdom, narrated by Russell Peters, explains the effects of psychedelics on the brain
  • Takes users into a unique VR immersive experience providing stunning visuals and copious amounts of education and information promoting responsible use.

Red Light Holland Corp. (CSE: TRIP) (FSE: 4YX) (OTC Pink: TRUFF) (“Red Light Holland” or the “Company”) an Ontario-based corporation engaged in the production, growth and sale of a premium brand of magic truffles to the legal, recreational market within the Netherlands, is pleased to announce that the company’s Psychedelic VR experience named, Wisdom, has been accepted to Steam. Steam is a VR digital distribution platform for PC gaming which has an estimated VR install base of 3.45 million people worldwide[1]. Wisdom, narrated by Russell Peters, explains the effects of psychedelics on the brain within the predictive coding neuroscience framework and takes users into a unique VR immersive experience providing stunning visuals and copious amounts of education and information promoting responsible use. Wisdom is expected to launch on March 17th, 2021 on Steam and it will sell for $4.99 USD.

“Wisdom is another piece of Red Light Holland’s Digital Care program that combines cutting edge technology and human innovation to promote education, information and responsible use of our iMicrodose packs,” said Todd Shapiro, Red Light Holland CEO and Director. “Wisdom also provides Red Light Holland with another innovative and immediate revenue stream. We continue to cleverly create ways to grow a global psychedelics brand through unique and leading-edge product offerings. Simply put, in my opinion, we are trailblazers. The VR experience was originally designed for Smartshop patrons in the Netherlands, but with this acceptance on Steam, I’m thrilled to share it with the entire world. You should really check it out, including the cameo from Karim Rashid’s Wisdom Truffle!”

“I learnt a lot just by narrating it,” said comedian Russell Peters. “I wish they had Virtual Reality classes when I was in school. I hope this is the future of education and I feel grateful to be a part of positive change when it comes to understanding psilocybin while hopefully ending stigmas associated with it. The Wisdom VR experience is out of this world!”

Some of the scientific innovations in Wisdom include an accurate model of the 5ht2a neuronal receptor that is affected by the use of psychedelics. Players can fit the psilocybin molecule into the 3D model of the receptor and see what happens to the neuron. Wisdom also explains to players and lets them experience some of the phenomenological sensations that might happen on psychedelics like synesthesia, a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to experiencing a second sensory or cognitive pathway.
