Curaleaf Introduces Fast-Acting Nano Gummies As It Expands Product Range

Select Nano Gummies Launch in Arizona; Curaleaf and Select Nano Gummies Soon to Expand in Multiple States 

WAKEFIELD, Mass., May 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (CSE: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) ("Curaleaf" or the "Company"), a leading vertically integrated cannabis operator in the United States, today announced it was further expanding its product portfolio with the addition of Curaleaf and Select Nano Gummies. Utilizing Nano-emulsion technology, the gel edibles are infused with small, water-soluble cannabinoids that allow for faster, more efficient cannabinoid consumption.

The scientifically developed formula makes the cannabis more bioavailable, which allows for faster absorption and more consistent results than traditional edibles. Due to the precise and calibrated effects, Nano products are an optimal micro dosing solution for those who are looking to try edibles for the first time, or for those seeking alternative forms of consumption.

Select Nano Gummies are available beginning this week at Curaleaf locations across Arizona, and will launch in June in Nevada, California, Colorado and Massachusetts, and in July in Michigan and Maine. Curaleaf Nano Gummies will be available in June in Massachusetts and Maryland. Curaleaf and Select Nano Gummies will be available across eight states by the end of Q2.

"Curaleaf is committed to innovative product development as we strive to provide our customers with a variety of options for their cannabis needs," said Joe Bayern, President of Curaleaf. "We're thrilled to launch Curaleaf and Select Nano Gummies. Nano technology is an exciting development, and the first that we have scaled across our brands since acquiring Select in February 2020. This unique product expands our portfolio choice for existing customers, and also provides a great entry point for those looking to try cannabis for the first time."

The launch of Curaleaf and Select Nano Gummies follows the release of Select Elite Live, a high-potency oil infused with freshly harvested live resin terpenes for strain-specific effects. Elite Live recently became available in Maryland and will be the first Select product available in Connecticut and Massachusetts beginning in June. By Q3, Select Elite Live will be available across the majority of Curaleaf's network.

Select currently retails in Oregon, California, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, Michigan and Maryland, and recently expanded to Oklahoma.
