IONIC BRANDS CORP. (IONC) (IONKF) Announces Its Zoots Premium Cannabis Infused Edibles Launch in Pharmacann’s Illinois Dispensaries

IONIC BRANDS CORP. (CSE:IONC) (OTC:IONKF) (FRA:1B3) (“IONIC BRANDS” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that PharmaCann LLC’s (“PharmaCann”) Illinois dispensaries are exclusively launching Zoots Cannabis Infused Edibles and will be available this month, providing consistent relief for medical cannabis patients.

Verilife dispensaries, owned and operated by national vertically integrated cannabis operator PharmaCann, will offer drops, chews and energy shots from the Zoots line of products. “Zoots is an ideal fit for Illinois medical cannabis patients seeking relief through a premium edible product that delivers consistent and reliable results,” said Brett Novey, Chief Operating Officer for PharmaCann. “We are excited to offer Illinois patients access to the Zoots line of premium edible products initially through our Verilife branded dispensaries, with plans to extend this offering to patients throughout the entire state of Illinois via our extensive wholesale network.”

For PharmaCann, quality was a vital factor when choosing Zoots for its Illinois dispensaries. What sets Zoots apart is its proprietary Cypress Extraction System®, which delivers a cannabis extract that is pure, consistent, and developed specifically for use as a premium-quality food ingredient. The developers of Zoots also have extensive experience in food processing and, as a result, all Zoots products are manufactured according to the FDA’s guidelines for food safety. “Zoots has a strong reputation for its dedication to excellence, as does PharmaCann, making for a great partnership,” said Michael Devlin, co-founder of Zoots. “Our brand and products are built on a promise of providing high-quality and safe products.”

Created in hand-crafted small batches, the edibles are made with Cypress Extract™ of cannabis paired with unique flavor blends. The product line offered by PharmaCann includes:

• ZootDrops—Cannabis infused concentrates in Relaxation Blend and High-Energy Blend (100mg THC per bottle)
• ZootBlast—Cannabis infused energy shots (available in 10mg and 30mg THC per bottle)
• ZootChews—Cannabis infused gummies in Sour Apple, Wild Berry, Sour Lemonade and Watermelon (5mg THC each; 100mg THC per package—also available in CBD blends)

PharmaCann has Illinois dispensaries in Arlington Heights, Evanston, North Aurora, Ottawa and Romeoville, as well as an extensive wholesale network spanning the entire state. Each of PharmaCann’s dispensaries will offer Zoots Premium Cannabis Infused Edibles, with plans to roll out Zoots statewide through its wholesale partners.
