New premium flower offerings from 7ACRES and Doja drop in retail locations this summer

SMITHS FALLS, ON, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Canopy Growth Corporation ("Canopy Growth" or the "Company") (TSX: WEED) (NASDAQ: CGC), a world-leading diversified cannabis and cannabinoid-based consumer product company, today announced several new additions to its premium flower portfolio. Perfect for both staycations and weekends away, the new premium flower offerings from 7ACRES and Doja demonstrate Canopy Growth's commitment to continued innovation and strengthen its leading position in the premium flower category.

Leveraging insights that 85% of cannabis consumers consider product quality to be an important factor in their purchasing decision,¹ the Company is releasing a range of new, premium flower offerings throughout the summer from 7ACRES and Doja, two premium brands renowned for their commitment to producing high quality cannabis. With these new releases, Canopy expands its premium flower options that deliver on the quality, genetics, and innovation that cannabis connoisseurs demand.

Grown by enthusiasts, for enthusiasts, 7ACRES is committed to producing the best premium cannabis for the community and is continuously focused on updating and innovating cultivation and improving processing techniques, with each harvest striving for better aroma, appearance, size, and flavour. The brand's spirit of continuous improvement was evident in its early-summer release of Jack Haze Bubble Hash Infused pre-roll joints, the brand's first in this format. The latest releases from 7ACRES include 7ACRES Platinum Kush Breath, a new 3.5g dried flower offering with a unique aroma and flavour profile, and a new infused pre-rolled joint offering made with 7ACRES Papaya flower and bubble hash.

Doja, a top-selling brand born in British Columbia and known for its premium, hand-crafted flower, cultivates cannabis using methods true to its decades-long legacy of growing in BC's Okanagan Valley. One of its top-selling strains, Doja 91K, recently became available in 14g, the brand's first-ever large format premium offering for the recreational market, driven by high customer demand. The latest releases from Doja include three new 3.5g flower offerings with high potency and flavourful aroma: Doja OG Deluxe, Doja Fresh Biscotti, and Doja Okanagan Grown Blackberry Cream.

"Cannabis connoisseurs know what they want: premium products that over-deliver on aroma and flavour, while still hitting the THC mark," said Julian Cohen, Chief Innovation Officer at Canopy Growth. "Our focus on innovation allows us to give consumers the enhanced quality attributes and range of products they're looking for. As Canadians from coast-to-coast prepare for the long weekend, we're excited to offer them new premium options to enjoy at home or at their favourite summer destination."
