High Fusion Inc. (CSE: FUZN) ("High Fusion" or the "Company") is pleased to announce receipt of recreational licenses for both the Escondido and El Cajon, California dispensaries. The receipt of these licenses is further to the Company's press releases dated September 1, 2021 and October 22, 2021 regarding the acquisition of the business of OutCo Labs Inc. ("OutCo") and the approval from the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Receipt of the recreational licenses comes in accordance with the San Diego County Board of Supervisors approval of a series of changes specific to the five current cannabis operations running in the unincorporated area of San Diego County.

The board voted to:

• Allow all five operators to sell recreationally
• Allow the sale and manufacture of edible products
• Allow for expansion and build-out on existing properties
• Allow transferability of licenses
• Develop a social equity program for the county
• Create a new ordinance over the next 18-24 months, with input from the five operators

John Durfy, CEO, commented, "With these recreational licences in place, High Fusion has immediately commenced recreational sales from both of its dispensaries in California. The recreational market is over five times the size of the medical market¹ so we will be modifying our dispensaries to accommodate at least a doubling of foot traffic. Further, this approval will allow us to pursue plans to more than double the indoor cultivation area and build out a specialized lab for concentrates manufacturing. We anticipated this potential opportunity during the transaction negotiations and are extremely happy for the expedited timeline."
