TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwired – Nov. 4, 2015) – Nutritional High International Inc. (the “Company” or “Nutritional High“) (CSE:EAT)(OTCQB:SPLIF) is pleased to provide an update on its efforts to advance its medical cannabis business in the State of Illinois.

The Company wishes to announce that the vendor (“Vendor“) of the real estate property in Lawrenceville, Illinois (“Lawrenceville Property“) where the Company’s dispensary will be located has agreed to provide a seller take-back mortgage (“Mortgage“) in the amount of USD $250,000. The Mortgage will have a 15 year amortization period, bearing an interest at the rate of 6% and be due in two years from the date of issuance as a balloon payment. The acquisition price for the Lawrenceville Property is USD $350,000 and the Company expects to close the acquisition on or before November 20, 2015.

David Posner, CEO of Nutritional High reports – “Our Lawrenceville location will be the only medical marijuana dispensary within a 100 mile radius and will service a significant population catchment. Furthermore, our foothold in Lawrenceville will allow us to have regular front line contact with patients which will provide valuable market intelligence. We expect that our Lawrenceville presence will be a first step toward developing relationships with Illinois licensed producers to make our oils and edible products available to patients throughout Illinois.”

As previously announced, NH Medicinal Dispensaries Inc. (“NHMD“), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, has submitted all necessary paperwork to the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (“DFPR“) to register a medical cannabis dispensary in Lawrenceville, IL. The Company is awaiting final approval of the registration package submission. Upon receiving final requisite approvals the Company expects to complete the build-out, and begin operations in early 2016. As NHMD indicated in its registration package, it is expected that the dispensary will operate under the name of “Small’s Mill Medicinal Center”.
