(CSE:ORCD)(OTC PINK:ORVRF) (the "Company" or "Orchid"), a multi-state cannabis innovation company, is pleased to announce that multi-state brand, Stash Fine Edibles and Concentrates, has launched CELLg8® gummies in retail outlets throughout Oregon.

Stash is an Oregon born edibles & concentrates brand that believes superior products have a higher purpose in life. Their new line of "fast acting" gummies, sold as a 50mg single pack in Apple Pie, Lemon Drop and Tangerine flavors are promoting an activation time of 5-10 minutes. "After 6 months of testing, internal focus groups and formulation development, we're ready to release the first and finest fast acting gummy to the Oregon market" says Sean Davis, CEO of Stash Brands LLC. "Stash gummies are also available in a 5 pack with 50mg of THC in Oregon and 10 pack 100mg THC in Oklahoma. All Stash gummies are Vegan and Non-GMO making them one of the highest quality gummies available in the industry."

"Today is an exciting day for our organization, and the future of bioavailability solutions that enhance the absorption time of edibles and the overall customer experience. The major difference between CELLg8® and other solutions is the quality and safety of the product and the fact that it's vegan, all-natural and surfactant free and doesn't require anything that is believed to be unhealthy or harmful" said Corey Mangold, CEO of Orchid Ventures, Inc. "The development process of this product has been months in the works and underwent several formulation adjustments to achieve the perfect product and user experience. The formulation team at Stash is an amazing group of highly experienced individuals that worked tirelessly with the team at CELLg8® Sciences to perfect the product. The delays that COVID-19 has placed on all companies, including our own, has definitely impacted the speed-to-market but we are pleased that our first client is now in the market with many others making good progress in formulation."

The Annual Financial Filings were not filed on or before the Filing Deadline due to the nature of business and the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company has been advised by its auditors, Dale Matheson Carr-Hilton Labonte CPAs, that they need more time to complete the audit.

The Company is working on the steps required to complete the Annual Financial Filings and expects to be able to file the Annual Financial Filings by December 28, 2020. The Company will provide updates as further information relating to the Annual Financial Filings becomes available.

The Company has applied to the applicable securities regulatory authorities and received a management cease trade order ("MCTO") imposed against the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the Company precluding them from trading securities of the Company. The MCTO will be in effect until the Annual Financial Filings are filed and requires that the Annual Financial Filings be filed on or before December 28, 2020.
