Through an unwavering commitment to its consumers, Canopy Growth delivers innovative products with a focus on premium and mainstream cannabis brands, including Doja, 7Acres, Tweed and Deep Space, in addition to category-defining vaporizer technology made in Germany by Storz & Bickel.

Canopy Growth has also established a comprehensive ecosystem to realize the opportunities presented by the U.S. THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) market through an unconsolidated, non-controlling interest in Canopy USA LLC.

Jetty owns and operates Jetty Extracts, a California-based producer of high-quality cannabis extracts and pioneer of clean vape technology, and Wana Brands is a leading North American edibles brand. Canopy USA has also exercised an option to acquire Acreage Holdings Inc., a vertically integrated multistate cannabis operator with principal operations in densely populated states across the Northeast and Midwest.

Beyond its world-class products, Canopy Growth is leading the industry forward through a commitment to social equity, responsible use and community reinvestment -- pioneering a future where cannabis is understood and welcomed for its potential to help achieve greater well-being and life enhancement.
