Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (CSE: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF) ('Curaleaf' or the 'Company'), a leading U.S. provider of consumer products in cannabis, today announced it will begin serving adult-use consumers across its eight dispensaries in Arizona.

Today Arizona became the 11th state to commence adult-use cannabis sales; the announcement comes after Proposition 207, the Smart and Safe Arizona Act (SSAA), passed by a majority vote last November. Under the new law, adults 21 years of age or older may use, possess, or transfer up to one ounce of cannabis. Adult-use purchases are subject to a 16% excise tax and the potential tax revenue, estimated to reach $166 million, will fund community colleges, infrastructure, public safety and public health programs. The SSAA also allows courts to vacate and expunge certain cannabis arrests, charges, adjudications, convictions, and sentences.

Curaleaf is one of the rst operators in the state to begin serving adult-use customers, and will do so effectively immediately at its eight existing dispensaries, with a ninth retail location opening in the coming months. In anticipation of customer demand, the Company expects to increase its current team of 420 employees by 120 new hires in the immediate future. Curaleaf is actively operating dispensaries in nine medical-only states and eleven states that permit medical cannabis and have allowed adult-use cannabis.
