MONCTON, New Brunswick–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Organigram Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OGI) (TSX: OGI), the parent company of Organigram Inc. (the “Company” or “Organigram”), a leading licensed producer of cannabis, is pleased to announce that as of May 19th, 2020, the Company has extended its medical cannabis offering to include products from its cannabis 2.0 adult-use recreational portfolio.
Products now available to medical cannabis consumers include ready-to-use Edison Cannabis Company (Edison) vape pens powered by Feather; Edison-branded pods specifically for PAX Era vaporizers; and Edison Bytes chocolates in dark and milk chocolate, in both one and two pack formats.
“Organigram has a deep and long-standing commitment to our medical cannabis consumers,” says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. “As more and more patients turn their attention to new forms of cannabis, we are proud to offer them access to an innovative and growing product portfolio.”
