SpeakEasy Announces Its First Harvest


/THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES/

VANCOUVER, March 4, 2020 /CNW/ - SpeakEasy Cannabis Club Ltd. (CSE: EASY) (Frankfurt: 39H) (the "Company" or "SpeakEasy"), a holder of a federal licence to cultivate, process and sell cannabis under the Cannabis Act, is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed its first harvest.  

First Harvest

SpeakEasy received its licence in November 2019 and immediately began preparations necessary to achieve harvest as quickly as possible. A large collection of unique genetic materials were brought on site prior to licensing and together with its craft style small batch techniques, all efforts were made to achieve the best finished product possible. That objective was achieved and the Company is thrilled with the result of all its efforts with this first of many harvests. Founder, Marc Geen stated, "With the help and advice from our featured growers who each bring years of experience, we achieved our first harvest quickly, efficiently and with excellent results. I am amazed with the quality of this first harvest and so proud to be able to prove we can do what we have been promising our investors we can do."

High Quality Matters

A large amount of low-quality product is available in the legal market at the moment and remains unsold. There is high demand and standing orders for high quality product and SpeakEasy has received multiple offers for its first crop from all across the country. Founder, Marc Geen further states, "We have been working with veteran and patient groups eager to become SpeakEasy clients, the quality and consistency just isn't there in the market to satisfy them. Our intent is to bring them the quality they need and have a consistent supply of the strains they desire."

Market Opportunity

SpeakEasy's plans include achieving its expanded sales licence and working directly with veterans,  seniors and advocacy groups that have thousands of patients looking for true high quality product available consistently and at a reasonable price. In addition, the retail distribution model in Ontario, Canada's largest provincial market, are changing and is expected to allow a more direct sales model between Licence Holder's and the retail stores. SpeakEasy believes that it will benefit from this new model due to its BC roots, authentic craft-style grow and high quality product. Founder, Marc Geen states, "High quality cannabis will never go out of style and will not become a commodity. Although there is a glut of product on the market at the moment, it's a glut of low quality, greenhouse grown material that averages many months old. We have and will always produce the highest quality product grown in the traditional BC craft grow style that has achieved a reputation for world class cannabis."
