Nutritional High Partners With District 11 to Launch ST IDES Blunts

Nutritional High International Inc. (“Nutritional High” or the “Company”) (CSE:EAT, OTCQB:SPLIF) is pleased to announce a distribution relationship with District 11, a licensed, premium cannabis company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Calyx Brands (“Calyx”).

Calyx will help launch and distribute the ST IDES brand of pre-rolled, tobacco-free blunts to its network of nearly 600 retailers throughout the State of California.

ST IDES premium blunts will initially be sold at select cannabis retailers in Los Angeles, Long Beach and Oakland/San Francisco. They are available in nitrogen-flushed, resealable, collector tin two-packs (1.5 grams) and five-packs (3.75 grams). Retailers will be provided with branded reusable wooden tips for consumers who prefer smoking through a filter. ST IDES blunts are 100% indoor flower—no stems, no seeds—rolled into tobacco-free hemp leaf paper, allowing for a slow, consistent burn.

According to Ganjapreneur,* cannabis pre-rolls and blunts accounted for approximately $985M in 2018 sales, or roughly 7.7% of the total legal market for the US and Canada. This reflects an increase from approximately 5% of total 2017 sales, according to BDS Analytics**.

“We’re honored to represent ST IDES’ entry into cannabis,” said Dakota Sullivan, CEO of Calyx Brands. “The ST IDES brand and heritage, strong packaging and presentation combined with a pure indoor flower, high-quality blunt product that packs a punch—will make ST IDES a long-term player in the fast-growing and rapidly diversifying pre-roll category.”

About St. Ides Blunts

ST IDES made its initial debut in the late ’80’s as a top-selling malt liquor. In the ’90’s, during the golden age of hip-hop, ST IDES became an icon of the streets. The signature ‘crooked I’ got its bold reputation from its groundbreaking partnerships with the forefathers of modern hip-hop including Biggie, Tupac, Cypress Hill, Snoop Dogg and Ice Cube. Three decades later, the ST IDES brand continues to inspire people to forge their own path and break down barriers.
