Jushi Holdings Inc




.




(“Jushi” or the “Company”) (




CSE: JUSH




) (




OTCQX: JUSHF




)

, a vertically integrated, multi-state cannabis operator, debuted its first line of concentrates made using hydrocarbon extraction by its award-winning brand


The Lab™


, famous for delivering high-quality, precision vape products and concentrates. The Lab™ Live Resin is the second of several single-source concentrate product lines to be launched by Jushi. Last month, the Company launched its


first line of solventless live rosin extracts


.

Initially, Jushi will exclusively carry The Lab™ Live Resin 500mg full-spectrum 0.5 gram 510 cartridges at Beyond Hello™ retail locations in Pennsylvania. The Company plans to roll out its hydrocarbon-extracted line at partner dispensaries across the Commonwealth in the coming months, as well as in additional states such as Massachusetts, Virginia and Nevada. The Company also plans to launch a 300mg rechargeable, all-in-one 0.3g vape and a variety of 1 gram jarred cured concentrates in the coming months, pending regulatory approval.

The new hydrocarbon extract products are rich in THC, cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids, and include roughly 90% of the plant’s original cannabinoids. The Lab™ Live Resin is produced using Jushi’s next-generation hydrocarbon extraction process utilizing high quality fresh frozen cannabis flower. This extraction process allows for the delicate make-up of the cannabis plant to be maintained so that the strain specific cannabinoids and terpene properties remain fully intact.

“We are thrilled to bring patients some of the purest, high-quality hydrocarbon extracts available in Pennsylvania,” said Jushi Chief Executive Officer, Chairman, and Founder


Jim Cacioppo


. “As we continue to innovate and roll out some of the best products for a wide range of preferences at accessible price points, we look forward to taking a differentiated approach that delivers an exceptional customer experience.”

As cannabis markets mature and more states come online, the demand for extracted products continues to accelerate.

, the cannabis extract market size was estimated at US$9.24B in 2021 and is projected to increase nearly fivefold, to reach US$42.89 billion by 2030.
