Flowr Begins Direct Medicinal Cannabis Sales

The Flowr Corporation (TSXV:FLWR) announced today that its subsidiary, The Flowr Group (Okanagan) Inc. (“Flowr” or “Company”), a cultivator of premium cannabis for the Canadian market, has launched direct sales of its FlowrRx brand medical cannabis to customers through its website, www.Flowr.ca.  The Company will accept a limited number of customers initially and provide them access to a wide range of cannabis strains.

Along with distribution partnerships that make FlowrRx available through numerous medical clinics, this marks the Company’s entrance into a market that Deloitte has estimated could generate up to C$1.8 billion in sales in 2019.

Flowr’s cultivation team employs exacting protocols throughout the growing and curing process seeking to consistently provide medical clients with their desired medicinal benefits.  Flowr’s products are grown in the world famous Okanagan Valley of British Columbia in facilities that employ proprietary cultivation systems and are engineered to meet pharmaceutical quality production standards.  Flowr then carefully harvests, hand trims and craft cures its products.

“FlowrRx’s premium cannabis is grown to provide our clients with the medicinal benefits they seek  and, most importantly for their care, a consistent experience,” said Dr. Lyle Oberg, Flowr’s Chief Policy and Medical Officer.  “We’re also providing a premium customer service experience with convenient, discreet, online access to obtaining medical documentation and personalized support from our team of client care nurses.”

Program Highlights

Flowr believes all clients who can benefit from the medicinal qualities of cannabis should have easy access to the products they want and need.  Its medical sales program is centered on the patient and built to deliver clients premium products, convenient access and extensive support. This includes:

• Multiple strains of FlowrRx brand flower ranging from high THC to balanced strains and featuring the Company’s BC Delahaze.  Delahaze is an award winning cultivar known for its powerful, invigorating effects. Flowr’s BC Delahaze is expertly grown in the Company’s indoor facility to emphasize its potency and flavor, including citrus and mango notes, then carefully harvested, hand-trimmed and craft-cured.
• A convenient, discreet, online medical documentation process.  For clients obtaining medical documents for the first time, Flowr offers online consultation with a healthcare professional from the comfort and convenience of the client’s preferred location.  Clients with medical documentation can contact their current clinic and request a switch to Flowr or split documentation to add Flowr’s premium products to their list of options.
• Exceptional Client Care.  Flowr will provide personalized support for medical clients through a team of bilingual nurses who can answer questions and help guide clients.
• A free gift.  New registrants will receive a custom Flowr Kube 2.0 cannabis grinder and High Sierra Pack-N-Go sport backpack with their first order, symbolic of Flowr’s commitment to forging new paths and maintaining a spirit of adventure.

Clients can register or book an online consultation and find FlowrRx product information at www.flowr.ca/medical/
