CRESCO LABS ADVANCES INNOVATION PIPELINE WITH HIGH SUPPLY SLIPS AND WONDER THC DRINK MIXES

Cresco Labs Inc. has made two new additions to its portfolio of leading cannabis brands: High Supply SLIPS-fast-acting oral THC pouches and Wonder THC Drink Mixes-single-serving beverage packets. The launches reflect the company's focus on identifying unmet consumer needs, creating new consumer occasions and developing products that bring new audiences into the regulated cannabis market.

"In addition to expanding our brand portfolio, we see a significant opportunity to build a more robust category for consumers who want convenient, lower-dose products that fit into their everyday lives," said Charlie Bachtell, chief executive officer of Cresco Labs. "High Supply SLIPS and Wonder THC Drink Mixes are examples of how our innovation pipeline looks beyond traditional cannabis formats to create new occasions, reach new audiences and build on emerging consumer categories."

The company's combination of established brand leadership, operational discipline and product development capabilities position it to translate emerging consumer trends into scalable long-term growth opportunities.

High Supply SLIPS: enjoy cannabis without the smoke

High Supply SLIPS are fast-acting oral THC pouches that deliver a smoke-free experience in a discreet, portable format. Unlike traditional edibles, which are processed through the digestive system, SLIPS are absorbed through the lining of the mouth, resulting in faster onset times.

Available in citrus and wintergreen flavors with two dosage options:

• Four-milligram THC: available in 15-count packs for low-dose consumers;
• 10 mg THC: available in 10-count packs for more experienced consumers.

SLIPS offer a low-profile way to incorporate cannabis into occasions when smoke or scent is a barrier.

Wonder THC Drink Mixes: reimagining cannabis beverages

Wonder is expanding its wellness-focused portfolio with drink mixes that pair cannabis with select ingredients and flavors tailored to different occasions. Wonder THC Drink Mixes are available in single-serving packets containing five mg of THC:

• Wonder Laugh: a sativa THC blend with turmeric and orange flavour, designed for daytime and social occasions;
• Wonder Workout: a sativa THC blend with 10 mg of caffeine, one gram of creatine and watermelon flavour, designed to complement active lifestyles;
• Wonder Sleep: an indica THC blend with five mg of CBD, five mg of CBN, one g of melatonin, chamomile and plum flavour, designed for evening routines.

With an emphasis on approachable, intentional consumption, Wonder THC Drink Mixes give consumers more control over how they incorporate cannabis into their daily routines.

Both products are available exclusively at Sunnyside dispensaries in Illinois, with expanded statewide distribution coming soon.
