Company Positions for Commercialization of Coachella Premium Branded Products

COACHELLA, CA / ACCESSWIRE / September 12, 2017 / Cultivation Technologies, Inc. (CTI), an emerging leader in medical cannabis infrastructure, genetics, technology, and branding, is pleased to announce the launch of medical cannabis extraction operations in Coachella, California. The medical cannabis interim extraction facility is part of CTI's conditional use permit in Coachella and will be operational during the course of construction of the full 6-acre Coachella facility.

CTI's extraction tenant, Not My Extracts, is now legally producing raw oil, various concentrates, and other medical cannabis products for leading brands, including Living Extracts™ (a featured brand on WeedMaps®) and CTI's first exclusive brand, Coachella Premium™. Not My Extracts is also providing extraction-as-a-service. Cultivation Technologies has enabled Not My Extracts' operations by providing access to a fully-permitted facility, operating capital, and equipment financing. CTI receives fees from Not My Extracts in exchange for its support, as well as licensing fees for production of CTI brands.

"After months of development and working closely with local government leaders, CTI has now officially entered its operational phase with a very capable producer," said CTI co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer, Justin Beck. "The opening of this facility enables the commercialization of Coachella Premium™, CTI's exclusive ultra-premium medical cannabis brand." CTI established the medical cannabis extraction lab in accordance with its conditional use permit in Coachella, and it will remain in operation during the construction of the full 6-acre medical cannabis campus planned for the site.

Not My Extracts is positioned to become the leading white-label producer for brands throughout California, most of which do not have access to compliant production. Select medical cannabis brands produced at the CTI Coachella campus will be able to leverage an integrated production, marketing, and distribution platform as part of operational collaborations with Not My Extracts.

"CTI has quickly become a leader in California's cannabis industry with its extraordinary leadership team and successful legislative efforts," said Christopher Thayer, Founder of Not My Extracts. "We couldn't have chosen a better partner for this endeavor. We would also like to thank the City of Coachella and Riverside Fire Department for their diligence and support," added Thayer. "We look forward to serving the immediate and future needs for leading brands in California including Coachella Premium™."

While the lab is among the first medical cannabis solvent extraction facilities to be legally permitted in California, CTI believes it to be the first to conform to California's AB 2679, a key CTI-sponsored legislation passed in 2016 allowing locally-permitted extraction labs to operate legally.
