According to the release, Bod dispensed 549 MediCabilis prescriptions in September, which was a 67% increase on the 329 prescriptions it reported in August. CEO Jo Patterson said: "The ongoing growth that Bod is witnessing in medicinal cannabis prescriptions highlights not only the versatility of our MediCabilis product, but also the outstanding quality of our extract. The repeat prescriptions which are underpinning growth also shows that there is considerable satisfaction from patients and also confidence in the product in the medical community."

Creso Pharma Limited (ASX: CPH)

This cannabis company provided an update on the status of its proposed acquisition by PharmaCielo by way of schemes of arrangement. According to the release, the Supreme Court of Western Australia has made orders that the company convene a meeting of its shareholders to consider and vote on the share scheme. Shareholders will be invited to vote on the takeover by PharmaCielo on November 11 in Perth. The Creso Pharma board continues to unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the proposed schemes, in the absence of a superior proposal.
