VANCOUVER, WA / ACCESSWIRE / February 3, 2021 / ORCHID VENTURES, INC. (CSE:ORCD)(OTC PINK:ORVRF) (the "Company" or "Orchid"), a multi-state cannabis innovation company, announces that it has entered into a licensing agreement with Weedbox, a licensed Canadian cannabis retail and technology company.

The licensing agreement states that Weedbox has secured the exclusive Canadian rights to manufacture, market and sell the Orchid Brand of clean vaporizer hardware that has been emissions tested against the most stringent standards in the world set forth by the EU. As per terms of the agreement, Weedbox will pay Orchid Brands a royalty on all net sales for a period of 10 years with an auto renewal for 5 years thereafter. As part of the agreement Weedbox will purchase proprietary hardware from Orchid's wholly owned subsidiary, PurTec Delivery Systems and will have access to PurTec's bioavailability solutions to increase the absorption of THC and other cannabinoids. According to the licensing agreement, to maintain exclusive rights to Orchid in Canada, Weedbox must be producing and selling 37,000 units per month by month 4 (four) of the agreement and 75,000 units per month by month 8 (eight). The company expects products to be ready for retail in early April 2021 pending Health Canada approval. All products will be manufactured by the Licensed Producer, Diteba Laboratories.

"We are pleased to announce the further expansion of the Orchid Essentials brand license platform into our first international market, Canada. As a fellow Canadian, it is exciting to be able to bring the Orchid brand into the country where I was born and that I am still very connected with. The selection of Weedbox as our Licensee partner was made after evaluating other options under consideration and after finalizing our evaluation and qualification assessments. The decision to select Weedbox was due to a combination of their industry experience and knowledge of the Canadian market, their strong marketing and sales capabilities, their technology platform TokeText and their access to capital, which is critical to building the infrastructure and inventories necessary to ensure a successful launch of Orchid and continued growth", said Rick Brown, President of Orchid Ventures. "We feel that Orchid is highly differentiated from the existing vape products available throughout Canada and that our positioning of best price-value, highest quality and testing standards will resonate with the Canadian consumer. By leveraging Weedbox's ability to secure and expand distribution, effectively manage the retail marketplace, plus their commitment to aggressively market and sell our portfolio of Orchid products in Canada, we are confident that this relationship will be successful."

Jeremy Potvin, CEO of Weedbox stated, "We are thrilled to announce Weedbox joining the Orchid Essentials family and to represent their brand in the Canadian market. With clean vaporizer hardware, unrivalled product quality and value pricing, the Orchid suite of products has always been an in-house favourite of the Weedbox team. Their clean vaporizer hardware has been emissions tested against the most stringent standards in the world set forth by the EU, and we are very excited to bring this level of excellence to the Canadian consumer."
