Fort Lauderdale, Florida--(Newsfile Corp. - September 25, 2024) - Flora Growth Corp. (NASDAQ: FLGC) (FSE: 7301) ("Flora" or the "Company") today commended U.S. Senator Ron Wyden for introducing the Cannabinoid Safety and Regulations Act. This landmark piece of legislation is aimed at establishing a comprehensive framework to ensure cannabinoid products are safely produced, labeled, and marketed to adults, with stringent safeguards to keep these products out of the hands of children. The bill has garnered widespread support from key industry organizations, including the U.S. Hemp Roundtable, the National Cannabis Industry Association, the National Industrial Hemp Council, and hemp industry associations across several states.

Clifford Starke, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, expressed the Company's full support for the bill and its commitment to responsible regulation in the cannabinoid sector, "The introduction of the Cannabinoid Safety and Regulation Act represents a pivotal step forward for the cannabis and hemp industries. By establishing clear regulatory standards, this bill will not only protect public health and safety but also create a robust legal pathway for companies like Flora to deliver safe, high-quality cannabinoid products to adults. Importantly, it ensures that these products are rigorously tested, properly labeled, and age-restricted," said Mr. Starke.

The Cannabinoid Safety and Regulation Act proposes a legal framework that addresses the growing demand for hemp-derived cannabinoid products, such as CBD, Delta-8 THC, and other compounds, by establishing requirements for testing, labeling, and responsible marketing. It also provides much-needed clarity and safety measures for the industry while protecting consumers.

Flora remains committed to advancing the cannabis and hemp industries through high standards of quality, safety, and compliance. The Company believes that this bill will create a more secure environment for both businesses and consumers by providing clear regulations for the production and distribution of cannabinoid products.

"The endorsement of this bill by such a wide spectrum of respected industry organizations is a testament to its importance and impact. We fully support this bill and encourage lawmakers to pass it swiftly to promote a safer, more transparent marketplace for cannabinoid products," concluded Mr. Starke.
