VANCOUVER, BC, June 16, 2020 /CNW/ - Vext Science, Inc. ("VEXT" or the "Company") (OTCQX: VEXTF) (CSE: VEXT) a cannabinoid brand leader leveraging core expertise in extraction, manufacturing, cultivation, and marketing to build wholesale distribution through revenue and joint ventures, announced today that its Kentucky joint venture, VAPEN Kentucky, LLC ("VAPEN KY"), with Emerald Pointe Hemp, LLC ("Emerald Pointe"), commenced the production and sales of a full line of high-quality CBD products under the Pure Touch Botanicals and Vapen CBD brands. 

Production is being conducted at VAPEN KY's state of the art processing and extraction facility located in Fulton, Kentucky. Pur Isolabs, LLC ("Pur Isolabs"), provider of high-quality CBD products to customers domestically and internationally, will facilitate the distribution of VAPEN KY products.

The state of Kentucky authorized hemp production in 2013, a year before the federal government, and is thought to be the only state using Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement funds to support a hemp industry. As a hemp market leader, Kentucky's future will depend on its ability to build demand for new crops by bolstering processing and extraction. Kentucky agronomists indicate strong hemp interest from former tobacco farmers who could shift production from Western states to former top tobacco-producing regions. 

"Our Kentucky partnership with Emerald Pointe provides VEXT with access to high quality hemp biomass, where we can deliver our unique and efficient processing and extraction technologies. We are confident that our extraction expertise, combined with Emerald Pointe's farming experience in hemp and their Pur Isolabs sales relationships, will drive our success in the CBD market nationally and internationally," stated Eric Offenberger, CEO of VEXT.  Mr. Offenberger further comments, "We are pleased to have David Levine of Trickle Research covering our stock with independent, unpaid research. The Company has numerous favorable tailwinds and is executing a growth strategy to support our shareholders and improve shareholder value."
