Customers can now purchase a custom-designed Veterans Cannabis Project pre-roll product, with a portion of all proceeds benefiting the VCP.

"Raising awareness of veterans' access to cannabis is an important issue for Curaleaf," said Tim Fitzpatrick, President of Curaleaf Oregon. "Curaleaf can play an important role by educating veterans and consumers on how cannabis may be of great benefit for veterans. We are proud to be able to support our veterans as they look to improve their quality of life." "As a veteran myself, I was grateful to be made aware of how medical cannabis can help me," said Doug Distaso, VCP's Executive Director. "There are millions of veterans, but federal law makes it illegal for Veteran Health Administration physicians to recommend cannabis as a treatment. This is something we are looking to change. Our partnership with Curaleaf will help veterans gain legal access to cannabis." Curaleaf officially launched the Veterans Cannabis Project initiative in Maryland earlier this year; products are currently available for purchase in Maryland, Maine and Arizona. The company will continue rolling out the program at Curaleaf dispensaries across the United States. The Veterans Cannabis Project product will also be available for purchase at other cannabis operators later this year. *According to April and May data from BDS Analytics About Curaleaf Holdings About the Veterans Cannabis Project Forward Looking Statements Investor Contact: Media Contact: View original content:http://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/curaleaf-launches-veterans-cannabis-project-initiative-in-oregon-300903776.html SOURCE Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. | ||
