TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Nov. 1, 2016) - Golden Leaf Holdings Ltd. ("GLH" or the "Company")
(CSE:GLH)(CSE:GLH.CN)(OTCQB:GLDFF), a leading cannabis oil solutions company built around recognized brands, today stated that
America's growing public support of legalized medicinal and recreational cannabis use will increase the value of branded cannabis
products to reflect many of the strategies applied in the food and consumer packaged goods industries.
The American population's increasing support for the legalization of cannabis has been a primary driver of the industry's
rapid growth, with the trend being validated by the Gallup Poll released in October 2016 showing that 60% of Americans are in
favor of legalization, the highest percentage of support recorded in the 47-year trend. The accelerating momentum of support has
given rise to the passage of new cannabis regulations in many states, as well as offered lawmakers in other states the confidence
to introduce new legislative initiatives for placement on 2016 ballots. The states considering legalization in upcoming November
2016 election include, North Dakota, Arkansas, and Florida for medical use, and Arizona, California, Maine, Massachusetts, and
Nevada for recreational use.
Don Robinson, Golden Leaf's CEO, stated, "With legalization progressing forward in multiple states across the country, the way
in which cannabis consumers approach their purchasing decisions are beginning to shift towards branded products. This will focus
industry attention on cGMP (consumer Good Manufacturing Practices) and consumer packaged goods centric branding and
packaging. This is similar to the way in which the alcohol and food markets approach the development of a broad portfolio of
brands to differentiate revenue sources, enhance brand awareness and penetration, and capture market share."
Mr. Robinson continued, "We believe that the pedigree of Golden Leaf's management team and world class experience in the food
and consumer packaged goods industry supports Golden Leaf's growing market share in the cannabis marketplace."
