Next Green Wave is continuing to build out its distribution strategy to deliver value to top tier dispensaries through its growing brands and products. Similar to a pharmaceutical distribution model, this will allow the company to bypass third party distributors, improve operational efficiency and deliver direct to the retailer. We are proud to announce that Columbia Care dispensaries have now been added to our growing network.

"In less than 6 months since opening our flagship facility, we have completed three harvests of premium quality, high THC cannabis, as well as fully scaled the entire space. As such, the facility is now in a perpetual harvest cycle in which roughly 14% of the flowering space is being processed every 10-14 days. At the same time, we are fortunate to have recently sourced and hired key additional talent to support and facilitate our expanding operations. We are now cultivating at full capacity and our employees will continue to play a significant role as we expand our market share by supplying the highest quality cannabis products to market in a timely fashion," stated CEO Mike Jennings.
