WeedMD Inc. (
TSX-V:WMD)
(OTCQX:WDDMF) (FSE:4WE) (“
WeedMD”
or the “
Company”), a federally licensed producer
and distributor of medical-grade cannabis, is pleased to announce
it will commence selling Pedro’s Sweet Sativa,
strain-specific PAX® ERA® products to its Starseed Medicinal
clients starting March 6th, 2021. The launch of its latest Cannabis
2.0 offering is in partnership with Pax Labs,
Inc. ("PAX"), a leader in premium cannabis vaporizer
technology, with award-winning devices for both oil concentrates
and flower.
The Company’s Starseed Medicinal-branded oil
pods in award-winning strain-specific variants, using
cannabis-derived terpenes produced in-house, will be available for
purchase via its online medical store. WeedMD’s adult-use Color
Cannabis-branded PAX ERA pods are expected to be available through
supply arrangements with provincial retailers commencing Q2,
2021.
"In keeping with our long-standing tradition of
releasing products first to our medical community, we’re thrilled
to launch the PAX ERA line-up in our award-winning Pedro’s Sweet
Sativa strain as the latest addition to our growing portfolio,”
said George Scorsis, Executive Chairman and CEO. “With product
features that offer an updated medical experience, our teams worked
together over the past few months to finely curate this portfolio
of vaporizer products using our premier, quality-produced,
strain-specific biomass. We’re looking forward to expanding with
additional terpene-rich strains such as Mango Haze and Black Sugar
Rose, particularly as our next launch of concentrates will include
our adult-use Color Cannabis-branded PAX ERA pods.”
PAX is a market leader with over two million
devices sold worldwide and an established reputation as the
best-selling pen-and-pod system in the U.S. Its closed-loop PAX ERA
pods, for use with PAX's high-tech oil vaporizers, are dependable,
leak-resistant and designed to be clog-free.
WeedMD’s partnership with PAX is expected to
further accelerate the growth of the Company's Cannabis 2.0 product
strategy as it continues to expand into new formats using its own
indoor and outdoor-cultivated biomass, processed at its
state-of-the-art extraction hub in Aylmer, Ontario. WeedMD
currently produces terpene-infused 510-thread vape cartridges for
its medical-branded Aurum vapes as well as its adult-use brands
Color Cannabis and Saturday Cannabis.
