The Frankfurt Stock Exchange listing follows comes shortly after Flora's acquisition of Australian Vaporizers Pty Ltd., a wholly owned Australian subsidiary of Lifeist Wellness Inc LFSWF. The sale, first announced in September 2023, was wrapped up through a share purchase agreement, under which Lifeist sold the issued and outstanding shares of Aussie Vapes to Flora, for roughly CA$900,000 ($658,439). The sum is payable by Flora issuing from the treasury to Lifeist 550,000 of its common shares.

Meanwhile, the German cannabis scene is progressing as large Canadian cannabis operators are jumping in to seize the opportunities of a new market. Tilray Brands TLRY and Aurora Cannabis ACB recently confirmed cannabis cultivation licenses issued under MedCanG, Germany's new Cannabis Act.

Partial cannabis legalization took effect in Germany on April 1, allowing adults over 18 to possess up to 25 grams of dried cannabis and cultivate up to three plants at home. One of the biggest breakthroughs under the law is that medical marijuana is essentially regulated like ibuprofen.
