Frank Otto, Director of Greenrise and Co-founder of CannaCare commented, "We are seeing strong monthly sales growth since the launch of CANOBO and VITALEA in the leading drugstores in Germany and anticipate strong sales growth for the remainder of the year as we begin an advertising campaign to support our drugstore sales."

Hendrik Knopp, Director of Greenrise, commented, "The combination of Greenrise and CannaCare was motivated by the legalization of adult-use of cannabis. We look forward to the results of the German commissioner for narcotic drugs discussions with a broad range of stakeholders, including addiction physicians, cannabis associations and, international experts this month. We believe this will lay the groundwork for the government's legalization strategy, which we hope to see announced this fall."
