NEW YORK, Jan. 31, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Acreage Holdings, Inc. (“Acreage” or the “Company”) (CSE: ACRG.A.U, ACRG.B.U), (OTC: ACRHF, ACRDF), a vertically integrated, multi-state operator of cannabis cultivation and retailing facilities in the U.S., today announced the launch of “Fast-Acting Gummies” or “TiME Gummies” under its flagship brand The Botanist. The Botanist Fast-Acting Gummies are available in the following states: Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, and Ohio.

Whereas traditional edibles may take 1-4 hours to take effect, The Botanist Fast-Acting Gummies aim to deliver potential effects in approximately 5-15 minutes. The Botanist Fast-Acting Gummies utilize AZUCA TiME INFUSION™, a unique, innovative, individual molecule encapsulation method that aims to deliver potentially fast-acting THC with delicious fruit flavors. This proprietary infusion method allows for greater Delta-9 THC absorption without an unpleasant taste or texture.

The Botanist Fast-Acting Gummies may elicit more of a “euphoric” high quality and are both vegan and gluten-free. The gummies are available in two flavors: Sparkling Orange (Sativa) and Sparkling Strawberry (Indica) and contain either 5 mg or 10 mg of THC per dose in 10-packs or 20-packs depending on the market. Each offering incorporates the flavor of real white wine grapes along with the added qualities of cannabis terpenes. Product offerings and descriptions may vary per market; in the state of Ohio, the gummies are listed as "The Botanist TiME Gummies."

“More cannabis consumers are looking for dose-able products that provide a predictable and positive social experience,” said Peter Caldini, CEO of Acreage. “The Botanist Fast-Acting Gummies will meet this consumer need as an innovative edible with a quick onset and sophisticated taste. With the launch of Fast-Acting Gummies and the commencement of adult-use sales at The Botanist Montville in Connecticut, Acreage is off to an exciting start for the new year.”
