unleashing the power of cannabis to improve lives.
Through an unwavering commitment to our consumers, Canopy Growth
delivers innovative products with a focus on premium and mainstream
cannabis brands including Doja, 7ACRES, Tweed, and Deep Space, in
addition to category defining vaporizer technology made in
Germany by Storz & Bickel.
Canopy Growth has also established a comprehensive ecosystem to
realize the opportunities presented by the U.S. THC market through
an unconsolidated, non-controlling interest in Canopy USA, LLC ("Canopy USA"). Canopy USA has closed the acquisitions of
approximately 75% of the shares of Lemurian, Inc. ("Jetty") and two
of three Wana entities that make up Wana
Brands ("Wana"), being Wana Wellness, LLC and The
CIMA Group, LLC, with the full
acquisition of Wana expected to occur, subject to regulatory
approval, once the acquisition of Mountain High Products, LLC is
complete. Jetty owns and operates Jetty Extracts, a
California-based producer of high-
quality cannabis extracts and pioneer of clean vape technology, and
Wana Brands is a leading North
American edibles brand. The option pursuant to which Canopy
USA is to acquire Acreage
Holdings, Inc., a vertically integrated multi-state cannabis
operator with principal operations in densely populated states
across the Northeast and Midwest has also been exercised.
Beyond its world-class products, Canopy Growth is leading the
industry forward through a commitment to social equity, responsible
use, and community reinvestment – pioneering a future where
