MIAMI, Aug. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ayr Wellness Inc. (CSE: AYR.A, OTCQX: AYRWF) (“Ayr” or the “Company”), a leading vertically integrated U.S. multi-state cannabis operator (“MSO”), announced that it has expanded access to LEVIA with the launch of LEVIA-branded water-soluble tinctures, now available in Nevada and Arizona. This marks the first expansion for the top selling, cannabis-infused beverage brand outside its origin state of Massachusetts.

The launch of LEVIA tinctures in Nevada and Arizona signifies a major milestone for Ayr as it continues to expand its national branded product portfolio into new markets across the country.

LEVIA tinctures come in three unique offerings: the indica Dream; the hybrid Celebrate; and the sativa Achieve. Featuring high bioavailability and 300 mg of THC per bottle, LEVIA tinctures are water-soluble, allowing for flexible dosing and easy mixing with water and other beverages based on consumers’ preference. The tinctures are fast-acting, providing a unique intended effect for the consumer within minutes.

“We’re excited to bring LEVIA to new markets as there is major consumer interest in cannabis-infused beverages,” said Jonathan Sandelman, Founder and CEO of Ayr. “By bringing LEVIA to shelves in retail stores across the country, we can not only offer consumers a more diverse and expansive menu, but we can set the tone for what Ayr Wellness can offer when it comes to our brand portfolio, which in the case of LEVIA, has been nothing but delight.”

LEVIA tinctures are available for purchase today in Ayr Wellness affiliated retail stores in Nevada and Arizona. Ayr plans to introduce LEVIA products, both existing and new, to additional markets in the latter half of 2022, into 2023.
