Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. (TSXV: SUGR, SUGR.WT, SUGR.WS,
SUGR.DB) ("
Sugarbud" or the
"
Company") is pleased to announce that, as part of
the previously announced contract manufacturing agreement (the
"
Agreement"), it has formally started the final
development and qualification of its additive-free, full-spectrum
vape cartridges with Heritage Cannabis Holdings Corp. (CSE: CANN)
("
Heritage").
Under the terms of the Agreement, Heritage will
continue to provide Sugarbud with extraction, formulation and
production services for the development of its pre-filled vape
cartridges utilizing proprietary, additive-free formulations.
"Our high quality, additive-free, full-spectrum
vape products contain dried cannabis as the sole ingredient and are
a natural and logical extension of our inhaled product strategy.
Sugarbud vape products will leverage and embody the quality,
consistency, flavour profiles and aromas found in our exceptional
craft cannabis flower," stated Mr. Kondrosky, CEO of Sugarbud.
New cannabis derivative products and formats
such as vape cartridges and pens are a rapidly growing segment of
the Canadian adult-use recreational market and Sugarbud expects
that its high-quality, additive-free vape products will become a
significant catalyst for future growth.
"We are confident that our partnership with
Heritage will equip Sugarbud to deliver high quality products to
consumers with the safety, integrity and exceptional outcomes they
demand," concluded Mr. Kondrosky.
"We are very pleased to be working with Sugarbud
on the production of full-spectrum vape cartridge products to
support its cannabis 2.0 strategy," commented Clint Sharples, CEO
of Heritage. "As Sugarbud's manufacturing partner, Heritage will
produce high-demand, full-spectrum cannabis oil products using no
harmful additives, flavours or carrier oils, and will maintain
consistency in the strain profile between Sugarbud's craft cannabis
and the final products."
The Company expects to apply to Health Canada
for an amendment to its sales license to permit the direct sale of
cannabis extracts in early Q4 of 2020.

Debenture offering not only significantly improved Sugarbud’s
working capital position, but is a clear vote of confidence in the
Company’s management and its focused strategy on producing premium
select-batch cannabis products,” stated Chris Moulson, CFO of
