10mg THC-infused beverage and Deep Space
XPRESS gummies deliver new flavours and innovation to meet growing
consumer demand for higher potency products.
SMITHS FALLS, ON, Nov. 3, 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 product offerings
from its Deep Space brand - Limon Splashdown, a lemon-lime flavour
that extends the existing 10mg THC-infused beverage offering, and
Deep Space XPRESS, the company's first single 10mg THC gummy
offering in Canada.
Limon Splashdown, the new 10mg THC-infused lemon-lime beverage
from Deep Space is an addition to the brand's original cola
flavour, appealing to adult consumers who are seeking a citrus soda
flavour. 10mg THC beverages account for 45 per cent of total
infused-beverage sales1 in Canada, and Deep Space original cola is
currently a top 5 overall infused-beverage SKU in the Canadian
recreational cannabis market2.
The cannabis-infused gummy market continues to grow, accounting
for more than 71 per cent of all edibles purchased in North America,3 and Canopy Growth
continues to focus on innovation within the category. Deep Space
XPRESS marks Canopy's first single 10mg THC-infused gummy in the
Canadian market, offering maximum legal potency per gummy. Deep
Space XPRESS will be available in both the original Deep Space cola
and Limon Splashdown flavours, designed deliberately to match the
popular beverage flavours, in a new gummy format.
"Since its launch in 2020, Deep Space has quickly become a
beloved beverage brand. We are excited to introduce additional
flavours and formats that deliver the potency and pucker power that
Deep Space is known for," said Tara
Rozalowsky, Vice President, Beverages and Edibles. "We are
proud to launch our first ever 10mg Deep Space XPRESS gummies
in Canada, which uniquely
positions Canopy to capture market share as consumers look for
products that deliver on both great taste and desired effect."
The addition of these new Deep Space product innovations build
on Canopy's rapidly growing roster of beverage and edible brands
including Tweed Iced Tea and Tweed Fizz, Quatreau, Ace Valley gummies, and Twd. gummies.
Deep Space Limon Splashdown and Deep Space XPRESS will be
available for purchase nationally via legal recreational cannabis
retail locations and e-commerce channels.
