Cannabis extracts continue to represent one of the largest and fastest-growing categories in the Canadian cannabis market, with inhaled extracts—including vape cartridges, hash, wax, and rosin-generating approximately $1.7 billion in Canadian retail sales in 2024/2025, representing approximately 31.1% of total cannabis sales nationally. ¹

Inspired by Canada's northern landscapes and craft cannabis culture, Northern Drip features products derived from premium genetics and produced using high-quality extraction methods focused on terpene preservation, potency, and consistency. The initial lineup includes solventless hash rosin, live resin concentrates, strain-specific vape cartridges, and other unique products for experienced consumers. Products within the Northern Drip line are expected to range from approximately 70% to 90%+ THC.

Cannabis extracts continue to represent one of the fastest-growing and highest-margin categories in the Canadian cannabis market, driven by increasing consumer demand for potent, discreet, and convenience-oriented formats. Through Northern Drip, Herbal Dispatch intends to expand its footprint within this category while leveraging its existing medical, recreational, and wholesale distribution channels. The Northern Drip launch strengthens its broader house-brand strategy and supports long-term margin expansion through differentiated proprietary products.

"We are excited to launch Northern Drip as part of our continued expansion into high-growth cannabis categories. Extract consumers are increasingly looking for premium experiences, high potency, and authentic terpene profiles, and we believe Northern Drip is well positioned to meet that demand," commented Philip Campbell, CEO of Herbal Dispatch. "This launch also reflects our broader strategy of developing scalable in-house brands that strengthen customer loyalty, improve margins, and expand our product offering across both recreational and medical channels."

Northern Drip products are available through Herbal Dispatch's online platforms and select wholesale partners across Canada. The Company expects to continue expanding the Northern Drip portfolio over time, including additional extract formats, infused products, and other derivative cannabis categories.
