C.XTRX | September 3, 2021

Hydrocarbon extracted shatter containing cannabis terpenes with 79-82% THC potency;
First-of-its-kind product, targeting first-time consumers of cannabis products

LANGLEY, BC, Sept. 3, 2021 /CNW/ - Adastra Holdings Ltd. (formerly Phyto Extractions Inc.) (CSE: XTRX) (Frankfurt: D2EP) ("Adastra" or the "Company"), a leader in innovative ethnobotanical and cannabis science products, is pleased to announce the acceptance of its first Shatter vaporizer cartridge, under the Phyto Extractions brand. This product line represents a category expansion at the OCS as it is a novel product, offering a convenient-use format to the fast-growing extracts segment of the Canadian adult-use marketplace.

Designed with two strain-specific varieties, Santa Cruz Haze and Jet Fuel, the Shatter vaporizer cartridge product line is a hydrocarbon extracted concentrate containing 3-5 % total cannabis-derived terpenes with 79-82% THC potency. Phyto's iconic Shatter, sought after by retailers and consumers, is formulated and filled for convenient use in a CCELL® 510 thread 1g cartridge.

Donald Dinsmore, COO of Phyto, commented, "The Jet Fuel variety is derived from Powdered Donuts, a Jet Fuel Gelato and Orange Cookies hybrid, while Santa Cruz Haze is derived from Blue Dream. Both strains are BC grown and extracted, creating two unique and satisfying full spectrum experiences derived entirely from cannabis. The products are designed for newcomers to the cannabis market, providing an approachable concentrate for people who have yet to dab or lack the full expertise and equipment. Our innovative Shatter Cartridge will help bring customers along their cannabis journey, from flower to distillate vape, shatter vape, and eventually dabbables like shatter and live resin. There is nothing quite like this in the market, and we believe it addresses an underserved and compelling segment of a rapidly growing consumer base."

The Shatter Cartridge is expected to launch in licensed adult-use retailers in Ontario this fall and next to British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.

For the best experience, the Company recommends pairing its cartridges withCCELLL® compatible, low, or multi-temp batteries, such as the M3B model. Concentrates are best consumed at lower temperatures to optimize the flavour profile and effect of the strain.
