CALGARY, Alberta, March 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sugarbud Craft Growers Corp. (TSXV: SUGR, SUGR.DB, SUGR.WR, SUGR.WS, SUGR.WT) (OTCQB: SBUDD) (“Sugarbud” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce the launch of the Company’s first Cannabis 2.0 product – Krypto Chronic #2 1.0g Flower Rosin – and the Company’s first 10 x 0.35g multi-pack Pre-Roll format in Ontario.
Sugarbud Krypto Chronic #2 Flower Rosin
| Sugarbud’s first flower rosin is an exceptional concentrate made through the solventless extraction of Sugarbud’s exclusive indica dominant hybrid genetic – Krypto Chronic #2.
Solventless extraction methods place a premium on maintaining the naturally occurring terpenes, flavors, aromas and cannabinoids throughout the entire process, ensuring that the full essence of the original dried flower is maintained. Sugarbud’s Krypto Chronic #2 flower rosin is another exceptional example of Sugarbud’s “House Style”, and embodies the same quality, consistency, flavor profiles and aromas consumers have come to expect from the Sugarbud Craft Cannabis Collection. Total THC will range between 60-70% with a total terpene profile of between 5-8%.
Sugarbud “Buddies” 10 x 0.35g Pre-Rolls
| Caring is sharing responsibly with our new and convenient 10 x 0.35g “Buddies” Pre-Roll format. “Expertly crafted using only 100% dry flower and absolutely no trim, Sugarbud “Buddies” Pre-Rolls promise the same high quality experience consumers have come to expect from our very popular 3.5g dry flower products with the added convenience of a smaller easier to carry and easier to share packaging format,” commented Sugarbud President and CEO, John Kondrosky. The first product being launched under the new “Buddies” format will contain Sugarbud’s exclusive Bahama Blizzard #11 dry flower and consumers can expect the same well-defined aromas of sweet confectionary, pine, lemon citrus, floral and fuel found in the very successful 3.5g dry flower format. Total THC will range between 21-26% with a terpene profile of between 1-3%.
The Company has received initial purchase orders from the Ontario Cannabis Store (“OCS”) and expects their Krypto Chronic #2 Flower Rosin and Bahama Blizzard #11 10 x 0.35g Buddies Pre-Rolls to be available for purchase from private cannabis retailers throughout Ontario and online at
OCS.ca
in Spring 2022.
“Our partnership with the OCS continues to grow as we diversify and expand the product offering within our Craft Cannabis Collection, and we are delighted to be bringing these new and exciting formats to Ontario consumers,” concluded Mr. Kondrosky.
The OCS is Ontario’s only legal online retailer and is responsible for the wholesale distribution of recreational cannabis products to private retailers in the province.
