Licence for 2.0 products expands Freedom’s product offering, and revenues

Edmonton, AB - TheNewswire - January 16, 2023 - Freedom Cannabis Inc. (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has been granted a Cannabis 2.0 licence from Health Canada. The licence will enable Freedom to produce and sell a variety of cannabis extracts including, but not limited to, vape cartridges, edibles and topicals.

Cannabis extracts offer a range of benefits for consumers, including more precise dosing and the ability to chose from a variety of consumption methods. The Company is excited to be at the forefront of this industry and looks forward to bringing more innovative products to market.

“We are thrilled to be able to offer our customers a wide range of products,” explained Freedom Cannabis CEO Johnfrank Potestio. “This licence is a testament to our commitment to quality and compliance. We are looking forward to seeing what the future holds for our company in the Cannabis 2.0 market.”

This license will give Freedom the ability to sell all cannabis products. Previously the Company could only sell dried cannabis and process cannabis for other licence holders. With this new licence Freedom can sell all cannabis 2.0 products into the adult use/recreation or medical market; including extracts, vape pens, infused pre rolls or products, edibles, topical, and beverages. This will allow Freedom to launch new products and appeal to other consumer markets.

The market for Cannabis 2.0 products is expected to be a significant contributor to the overall growth of the cannabis industry in Canada. These products offer consumers a wider range of options and offer more discreet consumption methods which is expected to increase the appeal of cannabis to a broader range of consumers.

The legal market for cannabis 2.0 products was launched on October 17, 2019. Since then the market has seen a steady growth as these products become more widely available across the country and more consumers become familiar with them.  

Freedom Cannabis is a leading player in the Canadian cannabis industry, with a reputation for producing high quality products and a strong focus on sustainability. The Company looks forward to continuing to meet the needs of its customers and to help drive growth of the Canadian cannabis industry.
