Tweed Quickies and Ace Valley Pinners are now
available, offering small joints in large pack sizes for social or
individual sessions
SMITH FALLS, ON, July 27, 2021
/CNW/ - Canopy Growth Corporation ("Canopy Growth" or
"the Company") (TSX: WEED) (NASDAQ: CGC), a world-leading
diversified cannabis, hemp, and cannabis device company, today
announced two new offerings with the launch of Tweed
Quickies and Ace Valley Pinners. These products showcase
the continued evolution of Canopy Growth's pre-roll portfolio
in line with consumer preference – providing Canadians with smaller
joints in larger pack sizes of 8 or 10. In time for summer
socializing, this is the perfect way to enjoy and share cannabis in
a group setting, without having to pass a single joint around.
Canopy Growth recently commissioned a study by Dig Insights that
found that traditional 0.5 gram joints are too big for many
consumers to enjoy in one sitting and take too long to consume, in
addition to concerns around sharing in current times. Canopy Growth
leveraged this insight to develop its first two product lines –
Tweed Quickies in 0.35 gram and Ace Valley Pinners in 0.3 gram
offerings – with research indicating this was the optimal
size for a quicker session that could be enjoyed on one's own or
within a group setting without the need to
share (1).
"Knowing that people may not want to 'puff, puff, pass' again,
these smaller pre-rolls designed for individual consumption will
allow consumers to enjoy a pre-roll on their own or in a group
setting," said Kelly Olsen, Vice
President of Global Flower Business at Canopy Growth. "We're
evolving the meaning of what it means to share a joint – the
perfect format for social occasions – and taking another step
forward in our mission to deliver flower products rooted in
consumer insights, purchases and behaviours."
The launch of Tweed Quickies marks the brand's first new
pre-roll offering in 2021, coupled with Ace
Valley's first product launch following its integration with
Canopy Growth, with more ready-to-enjoy products expected to come
to market over the coming months.
Tweed Quickies are evenly milled and machine rolled for a
consistent burn, made with single-strain, whole flower, packed in a
new, tapered cone shape that consumers prefer over cylinder shape
joints (2). Containing ten 0.35 gram joints in two
top-preforming varietals - Green Cush and Afghan Kush, Tweed
Quickies are packaged in a reusable carrying case. In tandem,
Ace Valley Pinners are also now available in a pack of eight 0.3
gram joints in Kosher Kush (Indica), OG Melon (Sativa) and Great
White Shark – the #1 CBD-dominant pre-roll in the
category (3), marking Canopy Growth's first premium
large pack.
Tweed Quickies and Ace Valley Pinners are available for purchase
nationally via legal recreational cannabis retail locations and
ecommerce channels.
