AgripharmToronto, Ontario–(Newsfile Corp. – August 13, 2020) – SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CSE: SLNG), (“SLANG” or the “Company“), a leading global cannabis consumer packaged goods (CPG) company with a diversified portfolio of popular brands, today announced that its investee company, Agripharm Corp. (“Agripharm“), has signed a supply agreement with the Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation (“OCRC“), operating as the Ontario Cannabis Store (“OCS“). Agripharm expects to supply flower and concentrates under the supply agreement beginning in September 2020 and edibles at a later date.
Agripharm has exclusive Canadian rights to the intellectual property, strains and brands of Green House Seed Co., one of the preeminent global providers of cannabis genetics, and its sister brand Strain Hunters. Last month, Agripharm obtained a Health Canada licence to sell extracts and edibles, including SLANG’s Firefly, O.penVAPE, Bakked and District Edibles brands, to authorized retailers in Canada.
“Securing its first supply agreement in its home province is an important milestone for Agripharm,” said SLANG Executive Chairman Peter Miller. “It’s also great news for Ontario consumers. In addition to SLANG products, consumers will now have consistent access to award-winning strains from Green House Seed Co. and Strain Hunters.”
The OCRC agreement marks the first provincial supply agreement in Canada for Agripharm, which is also in discussion with other provincial regulatory authorities to secure additional distribution.

Cannabis consumer packaged goods company Slang Worldwide Inc. is expanding its edible offerings across the U.S.
The Toronto-based pot firm said Tuesday it is launching a new line of sour gummies under its District Edibles brand to go along with its recently introduced THC-infused chocolates.
The sour gummies will come in peach, lime and apple flavours and each portion will contain 10 milligrams of THC. The product is sold in a 10-piece blister pack that the company says is discreet and child-resistant.
