NewLeaf Brands Inc. Wholly Owned Subsidiary We Are Kured, LLC Delivers Second CBD Purchase Order to Nashville, Tennessee-Based Distribution Partner Best Strains, LLC

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Sept. 25, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NewLeaf Brands Inc.’s (CSE:NLB) (OTC: NLBIF) (FSE:0NF) (“NewLeaf Brands” or the “Company”) wholly owned subsidiary, We Are Kured, LLC (“Kured”), announces that it has signed a second wholesale order with Best Strains, LLC (“Best Strains”). The order is a result of high retail demand for our CBD disposable vaporizer pens and CBD 510 thread refill cartridges in the state of Tennessee, USA.

Best Strains is a division of one of the largest spirit distribution groups in the state of Tennessee. In May 2019, Best Strains signed an agreement with Kured to distribute its products to their already existing retail accounts. The initial CBD purchase order delivered to Best Strains has been completely depleted and a second order was placed and delivered last week.

Benjamin Martch, CEO of Kured stated, “I thought Tennessee was going to be a great market for us, but I had no idea this market would react to our Kured products like they have. Our CBD pens and thread refill cartridges have proven to be a consumer favorite in Tennessee and may become one of our largest retail markets after seeing this rate of sell through!”
