(CSE:CDVA) (OTCQB:LVRLF) ("Cordova" or the "Company"), a cannabis-focused consumer products company, is pleased to announce that its third Star Buds Cannabis Co. ("Star Buds") branded cannabis retail store in Ontario has received confirmation from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario that it can open today.
