The launch event will include a technical breakdown of various vape products showcasing the Company’s commitment to consumer safety as well as MSRP for the new offerings.

Distilled Cannabis™ Beverages

Canopy Growth’s scientific development team has developed a proprietary process that distills whole flower cannabis into a clear liquid, which is used as an active ingredient in a wide variety of THC and CBD infused beverages.  The Company has named the resulting product, Distilled Cannabis™. Produced in its newly licensed beverage facility, the Company’s wide variety of beverages, powered by its proprietary Distilled Cannabis™, will be offered in a range of brands, flavours and sizes. Canopy Growth’s beverages have been developed to provide the serving sizes and onset times that consumers experience with other beverage formats.

Tweed RTD (ready to drink), are pre-mixed with Distilled Cannabis^TM and offered in 355mL cans. The RTD beverages are flavoured to represent Tweed’s three core cannabis strains including Penelope and Tonic containing 2 mg of THC and 1.5 mg of CBD, Bakerstreet and Ginger Ale and Houndstooth and Soda, both containing 2 mg of THC per can.

Through its partnership with Houseplant founders Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, Canopy Growth has developed Houseplant Grapefruit and Houseplant Lemon, both containing 2.5 mg of THC per 355mL can. These beverages can be enjoyed anytime of day for any occasion allowing for a new way to consume cannabis.

Canopy has developed a range of naturally flavoured, refreshing seltzer-like sparkling water beverages, under the new brand Quatreau, that are targeted at wellness-focused beverage enthusiasts.  The first four beverages are Quatreau Cucumber & Mint, and Quatreau Passion Fruit & Guava each containing 20 mg of CBD as well as Quatreau Ginger & Lime, and Blueberry Acai, each containing 2 mg CBD and 2 mg THC per can.

For consumers interested in a more potent option, Deep Space is a smaller ready to drink carbonated beverage, dark coloured with a bold, full flavour that comes in a 222mL can and contains 10 mg of THC per serving, the maximum level of THC permitted by Health Canada.

In addition, Canopy has established a new brand of beverage mixers, Tweed Distilled Cannabis. Packaged in 150mL bottles of Canopy Growth’s proprietary clear liquid cannabis, Tweed Distilled Cannabis can be mixed with any non-alcoholic beverage or enjoyed neat or on the rocks, allowing the consumer to control serving amounts. Tweed Distilled Cannabis will be flavoured using three core Tweed strains including Penelope which will contain five 2 mg servings of THC and 1.5 mg CBD (for a total of 10 mg THC and 7.5 mg CBD) as well as Bakerstreet, and Houndstooth which will both contain five 2 mg servings of THC (for a total of 10 mg THC).
