Ghost Drops returns to legacy roots with new Mail Order Marijuana (MOM) service

Published

on

TORONTO, April 20, 2023 /CNW/ – Ghost Drops, Canada’s Most Notorious Cannabis Brand, announces the launch of its all-new, industry altering, medical MOM portal.

Ghost Drops was born in the legacy market and gained popularity as a MOM (Mail Order Marijuana) business. The model offered direct delivery of premium cannabis to thousands of loyal customers across Canada and Ghost Drops ultimately became the leading MOM platform in the legacy market. The recent acquisition of a licensed processing facility has allowed Ghost Drops to return to its roots and offer an elevated version of the same service that made the brand infamous.

The new Ghost Drops MOM platform is unlike any other medical e-commerce site in the industry. Other sites are plagued with long wait times to receive medical documents and are flooded with mid-grade cannabis from multiple brands or sources. Ghost Drops’ MOM is the first medical portal developed to showcase a single premium brand while drastically reducing the friction medical consumers face with other providers. The new medical portal – which launches to the public today – allows consumers across the country the ability to purchase Ghost Drops online with multiple forms of payment including Apple Pay, credit cards and debit cards. With the ability to ship nationally, the MOM platform will now give thousands of supporters in provinces such as Alberta and Quebec long-awaited access to Ghost Drops products.

As a bonus, the MOM membership unlocks special member pricing on exclusive Ghost Drops products, free shipping, and increased carry limits. Members will also be registered to earn GhostDots loyalty points, which was a fan favourite from the brand’s legacy platform.

“Launching this MOM platform is the perfect move for Ghost Drops,” says Ghost Drops CEO Gene Bernaudo. “We built our brand and our cult following through MOM in the legacy market. MOM is part of our origin story. Now, having successfully transitioned to the legal market and having brought our legacy following with us, we’re in a position to return to those mail order roots.

“This is more than just a nostalgic full-circle moment for us. This is another example of Ghost Drops pushing our industry forward, offering something better for our cannabis community. While many large companies have made moves to divest from licensed assets, we continue to defy the status quo and acquired a licensed processing facility. This allows us to bring back the infamous Ghost Drops MOM platform and deliver a greater variety of products, more frequently.”

To support the launch of this non-traditional MOM program, the brand has done what it’s always done – taken a non-traditional approach with a multi-platform marketing campaign that’s sure to capture attention, titled “I’m your MOM”.

“As a team, we knew we had to market this platform in a way that’s never been seen before,” says Ghost Drops CMO Saro Manoukian. “We shot and produced entertaining infomercial-style ads in Los Angeles, redesigned the website, and created an on-brand customer service helpline. And most importantly we developed significant e-commerce infrastructure to ensure compliance was met on all levels. With the ability to now reach the consumer directly, it opens up a whole new world of opportunity for Ghost Drops to deliver an enhanced brand experience.”

To learn more about the campaign, visit www.imyourmom.com or call 1-855-IM-YOUR-M.

Ghost Drops MOM members will have access to the full suite of Ghost Drops cannabis available in retail stores, plus some exclusive member-only MOM products. At launch, the brand’s first live rosin product will be available exclusively through mail order. RosinStar, an award-winning solventless concentrate brand born in the legacy market, will be offering their Garlic Chem 1g Live Rosin. RosinStar is the latest “All-Star draft pick” to join the Ghost Drops family under the company’s The League brand house.

While the MOM platform is sure to earn new customers and accommodates a different commerce channel, Ghost Drops is not leaving retail. Recreational customers and retailers can rest easy knowing that Ghost Drops products will be available as always on the retail front. However, consumers looking for exclusive access to Ghost Drops’ new online portfolio will need to sign up for the MOM platform.

To register for Ghost Drops MOM, applicants can sign-up at www.imyourmom.com. Applications will be processed as timely as possible over the coming days and weeks. For those who already pre-registered during our soft launch, the site is now open. To browse our new exclusive cannabis and clothing drops, visit https://ghostdrops.com/collections/shop-all

Morpho UV Printer Unveiled at IFA with Hands-On Live Creation

Published

By

BERLIN, Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Morpho, a company specializing in UV printing technology, is showcasing its first desktop UV printer at IFA 2026, Hall 17-196. Visitors are observing Morpho’s colorful, textured prints, and some have the opportunity to print on a range of blank materials provided.

Morpho’s desktop UV printer can print on a wide range of materials, including wood, glass, leather, metal, and more, delivering vivid colors and tactile textures for customized results. At IFA 2026, the booth attracted interest from creators, educators, and technology professionals, who gathered to watch live demonstrations.

Among those who have tried Morpho’s printer, three aspects are most frequently highlighted: print quality, the moving gantry design, and overall ease of use.

Visitors are first drawn to the prints, which feature precise color reproduction and finely detailed textile textures. With G7 Master ColorSpace certification, Morpho ensures consistent tones across different pieces. The same level of precision is evident in the raised textures created by the industrial-grade printhead, which builds fine layers of ink for detailed, tactile surfaces. The printhead maintains fast carriage motion speeds of up to 600mm/s while preserving precise detail.

Attendees have also noted the printer’s compact desktop footprint. With its moving gantry architecture—where the entire gantry moves along both axes—the printer offers a large, fully enclosed print chamber that accommodates various objects while remaining desktop-friendly.

First-time users have given positive feedback on Morpho’s usability. The integrated Stereo Vision Smart Alignment™ System quickly captures an object’s height and contours, while Morpho Studio’s guided workflows help users move from idea to print with minimal setup.

Morpho’s team shared that the program has been in development for several years, with the goal of making UV printers a practical tool for everyday creative use. Founder Mingyu “Brett” Wang, formerly Global VP of R&D at DJI, commented, “We communicate directly with our community, listen to feedback, and make fast improvements.”

Ahead of IFA, Morpho’s Kickstarter campaign surpassed $10 million in support from over 2,800 backers worldwide. The company is committed to further developing its proprietary core technology and delivering reliable engineering for creators, makers, and small businesses.

Drive Medical claimed the top prize at the third annual SRS Shark Tank 2026, held during the Society of Robotic Surgery’s annual conference at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. The event, a collaboration between SRS and Puma Venture Capital, once again showcased cutting-edge innovations in the digital and robotic surgery ecosystem and featured early-stage companies poised to transform minimally invasive care.

HOLLYWOOD, Fla., Sept. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Drive Medical claimed the top prize at the third annual SRS Shark Tank 2026, held during the Society of Robotic Surgery’s annual conference at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida. The event, a collaboration between SRS and Puma Venture Capital, once again showcased cutting-edge innovations in the digital and robotic surgery ecosystem and featured early-stage companies poised to transform minimally invasive care.

SRS Shark Tank 2026 featured presentations from nine innovative companies. Each had five minutes to pitch their technology and five minutes to engage in a Q&A session with a panel of esteemed judges, including top surgeons, investors, and medical device experts. Companies were evaluated on innovation, impact on healthcare, market potential, business model, and presentation.

Drive Medical earned the top honor for the Pollywog System, the first easy-to-use robotic endoscope integrated with artificial intelligence. The platform is designed to give physicians faster, safer access to the small bowel, allowing diagnosis and treatment to be completed in a single session rather than across multiple procedures.

DeepQure secured second place with HyperQure, the world’s first extravascular renal denervation system for resistant hypertension. Delivered laparoscopically, the device wraps the renal artery from the outside to achieve complete denervation while avoiding the vessel lining.

Microsure came in third with MUSA-3, a microsurgical robot that downscales and stabilizes a surgeon’s hand movements during open super-microsurgical procedures, including free flap, lymphatic, and peripheral nerve surgery. The system received CE mark approval earlier this year.

The strength of the 2026 field extended well beyond the podium: every one of the nine presenting companies was placed in the top three by at least one judge. Reveal Surgical presented optical imaging technology that characterizes tissue for tumor assessment during surgery, and Symphera demonstrated a laparoscopic system that lets surgeons switch instrument tips at the push of a button. Tioga Cardiovascular showed its transcatheter approach to mitral and tricuspid valve replacement.

CardioSentry presented an AI platform for autonomous cardiac ultrasound, and Nina Medical showcased a completely non-invasive treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia. LITLab rounded out the slate with mobile, high-fidelity surgical training labs that travel to health systems and medtech companies to train clinical teams onsite. Together the group reflected an unusually broad and competitive slate, spanning robotics, imaging, structural heart, urology, and surgical education.

The 2026 judging panel included Steve Bell, Rob Morgan, Dr. Santiago Horgan, Dr. Erik B. Wilson, Scott Zinober, and Babak Tehranchi, and the event was co-chaired by Amit Hazan and Dr. Vipul Patel.

Participating companies included:

Microsure, Symphera, LITLab, Reveal Surgical, DeepQure, Drive Medical, Nina Medical, CardioSentry, and Tioga Cardiovascular.
