Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. (TSXV: SUGR, SUGR.DB, SUGR.WR, SUGR.WS, SUGR.WT) (OTCQB: SBUDD) (“Sugarbud” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has received the initial purchase order from Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (“AGLC”) for the Company’s first Dry Sift Hash Infused 3 x 0.5g multi-pack Pre-Roll format.
Sugarbud “Mixed Greens” 3 x 0.5g Infused Pre-Rolls | Expertly curated and blended, Sugarbud’s Infused Pre-Roll are crafted using only 100% Sugarbud grown dried flower and solventlessly extracted 75-149 micron dry sift hash. “The art of blending requires the selection and combination of unique and different cultivars and dry sift hash while placing a premium on maintaining the harmony and balance between naturally occurring terpenes, flavors, aromas and cannabinoids throughout the entire process. The result is an altogether unique expression of the dried flower experience and is yet another fine example of the Sugarbud “House Style” that consumers have come to expect from the Sugarbud Craft Cannabis Collection,” commented Sugarbud President and CEO, John Kondrosky.
“We continue to rapidly diversify and expand the product offering within our Craft Cannabis Collection and are excited about bringing this new hand crafted and convenient pre-roll format to Alberta consumers,” concluded Mr. Kondrosky.
The Company will be shipping the initial purchase order to AGLC in late July and expects its 3 x 0.5g Mixed Greens Pre-Rolls to be available for purchase from private cannabis retailers throughout Alberta in early August 2022.
AGLC is responsible for the wholesale distribution of non-medical cannabis products to private retailers in the province.
