Grown Rogue Launches 3.5g Nitrogen Sealed Cannabis Glass Jars to Guarantee Freshness

MEDFORD, OR, Dec. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Grown Rogue International Inc. (CSE:GRIN) ("Grown Rogue" or the "Company"), announces the latest addition to its experience-branded cannabis product line, with the launch of 3.5g nitrogen sealed flower jars.

Following the success of Grown Rogue's patent-pending nitrogen sealed pre-rolls, Grown Rogue now introduces 3.5g flower jars that are nitrogen sealed guaranteeing fresh connoisseur quality premium cannabis.

The premium nitrogen fresh-sealed flower glass jars are an industry first and produce a noticeable "woosh" sound when opened. "It's like opening a fresh can of vacuum-sealed coffee," said Obie Strickler, CEO of Grown Rogue.  This guarantees freshness through the sealing process. "In keeping with our premium product line of products including oils and concentrates, our nitrogen-sealed flower jars are classified by experience," Strickler added. "In addition, unlike canned packing, glass packaging gives our customers the ability to view and confirm the premium signature product before purchasing."

Grown Rogue is the only vertically integrated cannabis company that crowdsources consumer experiences from users of its products to categorize cannabis strains by the resulting effect, to ensure the Right Experience, Every Time.™  The Company introduced the ROGUE Study in late 2017 to crowdsource survey information from customers to categorize the experience or effect of the many diverse strains.  The survey designed by PhD. Research Psychologists at the University of California - Santa Barbara, uses scientifically validated questions to capture the physiological and psychological effects of a cannabis consumption.

"Rather than conduct internal testing to determine experience-based classification, we believe the most transparent and accurate representation of cannabis experiences has to come from crowd consensus of real time users, so we created the ROGUE Study to crowdsource the data," said Mr. Strickler.

Headquartered in Oregon's Rogue Valley, known for its premier cannabis growing microclimates, the Company operates approximately 90,000 SQ FT of cultivation through both outdoor and best in class indoor facilities.  The Company's Chief Strategy Officer, Jacques Habra, explained "There has been limited group testing on the actual user experience around the varying cannabis strains.  Rather than rely on anecdotes or wait for academia or government agencies to conduct testing, we took a forward thinking approach to capture people's experiences in a qualified, meaningful way from the very users of the product."
