The new products have been released under each of the two Verse product lines, Verse Originals and Verse Concentrates, which aim to bring premium quality offerings to Canadian consumers at affordable prices.
The sativa-dominant Tropic Lemon 0.3g and 1g 510 thread vape cartridges are the first to launch under Verse Originals, a line of universal cannabis products offered at a great value. Crafted with botanical terpenes, the 0.3g value cartridges are now available in Alberta, with British Columbia, Ontarioand Saskatchewan expected to follow, along with the launch of the 1g value cartridge in the coming weeks in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. Additionally, the Verse Originals 1:20 CBD oil is expected to be available soon in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario. Created using high quality extracts, the premium cannabis-derived CBD formula offers a subtle terpene profile with a citrus aroma. In partnership with Verse, The Valens Company will also produce and manufacture additional products for the Verse Originals product line, including drink drops, using SRSE by Valens emulsion technology.
As one of the first entries into the Canadian market, the much-anticipated Verse 0.5g crumble is now available in Saskatchewan, with the 1g offering expected to be available in Alberta, Ontario and Saskatchewan in the coming weeks under the Verse Concentrates line, an ultra premium, curated collection of concentrates developed with experienced cannabis users at the forefront. Precisely created using hydrocarbon extraction, Verse crumble captures the essence of the indica-dominant White Rhino strain with its high THC potency and aromas and flavors of blueberries and mangos, green grapes and Thai Basil. The Valens Company's commitment to building out the concentrates category in Canada is furthered by its hydrocarbon extraction capabilities. Through this exclusive extraction process, the delicate makeup of the cannabis plant is maintained allowing for the original combination of cannabinoids and terpenes to remain in the extracted oil, resulting in a refined and consistent end product.
"Canadian cannabis consumers have been eagerly waiting for more next-generation products to hit the shelves, and in partnership with Verse, we have come to deliver two unique product lines with both original and reimagined high-quality cannabis extracts and concentrates," said Tyler Robson, Chief Executive Officer of The Valens Company.
