Item 9 Labs Corp. Launches Reg A+ Public Offering & Keep Cannabis Local Campaign

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

Investors Now Have a Chance to Invest in the First Vertically Integrated U.S. Cannabis Franchise

PHOENIX (March 9, 2022) — Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTCQX: INLB)–a vertically integrated cannabis dispensary franchisor and operator that produces premium, award-winning products–announced today the launch of its global, streamlined Regulation A, Tier 2 public offering for unaccredited and accredited investors. Now anyone can become a shareholder in Item 9 Labs Corp., which includes the national dispensary franchise, Unity Rd. and premium, award-winning cannabis brand Item 9 Labs. The Company is offering 28 million Units Each Comprised of One Share and One-Half of One Warrant. Upon the exercise of all warrants, the offering has maximum proceeds of $67.2 million. 

With new states continuing to legalize cannabis, the industry is on track to explode – projecting $45 billion in revenue by 2025, a 50 percent increase from 2021*. As large players increasingly dominate the space, the business landscape will become even more challenging for new and independent entrepreneurs. The complexities of operating a cannabis business make it difficult for small, independent dispensaries to understand and stay on top of all the varying regulations and everyday challenges of managing and operating a compliant and successful dispensary. 

The Company’s offering is set to accelerate the solution. Promoted under its “Keep Cannabis Local” campaign, this funding round offers the opportunity to invest in cannabis entrepreneurship, keeping the door to cannabis ownership open to industry newcomers and existing operators alike. 

“Dispensary ownership is a lucrative opportunity, but it comes with a considerable amount of challenges to navigate,” said Item 9 Labs Corp.’s CEO Andrew Bowden. “The combination of our brands are the solution.” 

Unity Rd. shops are rolling out state-by-state, community-by-community, and keeping dispensary ownership in the hands of local entrepreneurs nationwide. The franchise opportunity provides a viable opportunity for industry newcomers and small, locally owned and operated dispensaries to compliantly thrive, thanks to the robust backing and support of a national franchise. Unity Rd. offers direct access to the buying power, resources and supportive network normally reserved for multi-unit cannabis operators – empowering local, independents to confidently run their business. 

“Unity Rd. offers one of the safest ways to enter the complex cannabis space with an experienced team guiding the path forward and supporting across all functions of the business,” Bowden added. “Franchising will propel the cannabis industry and keep business ownership in the hands of local owners.” 

As the Unity Rd. franchise network expands nationally, the Company plans to bring Item 9 Labs products to the market through corporate development, acquisitions or partnerships with cultivation facilities in states where Unity Rd. franchise partners open cannabis retail shops. This strategic growth plan gives Unity Rd. operators front-of-the-line access to a reliable, award- winning product supply chain and offers the national product consistency that consumers have come to expect from franchises. This strategy also eases new market entry for Item 9 Labs products and creates unmatched market power across borders. 

The Company encourages all interested investors to visit keepcannabislocal.com for a link to the Offering Circular and to learn how to invest in the offering. For more information on Item 9 Labs Corp. and its brands, visit item9labscorp.com. View the offering circular directly by clicking here.

Lawmakers change laws, but it takes society to change culture. So we created this brand spot for Flowr to be a nostalgic tour of stash spots, secret compartments and hideaways set to Millie Jackson’s killer 1974 track ‘I’m Tired of Hiding.’ The message is clear. It’s time for all of us to leave the hiding in the past.”

Zerotrillion and the other winners of the 2021 Clio Cannabis Awards are being honored today during a streaming event on Social Club TV airing concurrent to this release and available on-demand here.

“We’re so proud to be able to recognize the incredible creative growth that this industry is rapidly undergoing, and we enthusiastically celebrate everyone who has had a hand in driving the positive changes we’re seeing across the marketing and communications space,” Kauffman continued.

The Cannabis Industry Leader Adds Another Tool to its Extensive Collection of Processing Machines

Spokane, WA — October 26, 2021: STM Canna, a leading manufacturer of processing machines for cannabis production, announced the latest addition to its line of offerings at MJBizCon 2021 last week: The STM Atomic Closer. The automated pre-roll machine will be the first modular and compact unit on the market, enabling sellers to propel their production cycles further than ever before.

The Atomic Closer is the only auto closing system available designed to incorporate the human touch for a true premium quality look and feel. This unique machine folds joints with a neat crown fold or dimple, instead of a twist, resulting in a much more professional looking pre-rolled joint which burns evenly.

Of the company’s latest announcement, a spokesperson for STM Canna commented, “Despite being a relatively small and affordable machine, the STM Atomic Closer packs an impressive punch through its incredible output capabilities. Compared to similar products on the market — which can cost up to seven figures, are complex to use and take up an entire room — this is a one-of-a-kind solution that will save people money, time, and labor requirements. It’s small, modular, footprint allows for simple operation, easy cleaning and infinite expandability options. Without a doubt, the STM Atomic Closer is a game-changer for the cannabis industry.”

Thanks to its ultra-compact size, the Atomic Closer can be used on tabletops across all facility types. Some unique features buyers can expect to enjoy when using the innovative machine include:

-The fastest production rate in the industry: 72 joints every 40 seconds.
-A daily capacity of more than 41,000 pre-rolls.
-An efficient folding technique that still captures the feel of human touch in every product.
-Simple operation and easy cleaning saves time and money.
-Compatible with the STM RocketBox line of commercial pre-roll machines and others.

The STM Atomic Closer is also OSHA compliant, so producers can rest easy knowing they don’t have to sacrifice safety for optimum efficiency. And, with an industry leading two-year warranty included, this powerful, USA-built pre-roll closing machine is perfect for any facility. The Atomic Closer is part of STM Canna’s growing catalog of products and turnkey processing systems.

About STM Canna: Since its establishment in 2017, STM Canna Corp. has remained the cannabis industry’s most trusted supplier of commercial pre-roll machines and bespoke cannabis grinders. With clients across 39 U.S. States and numerous international markets, the corporation is a preferred partner for a range of businesses, from small producers to the world’s largest, most well-known hemp and marijuana brands. Its latest product launch, the STM Atomic Closer, redefined industry standards by providing the best automated pre-roll machine capabilities available on the market.

Zoned Properties Announces Completion of $8 Million Expansion at its Chino Valley Cultivation Facility

Subsequent Lease Amendments to Significantly Increase Portfolio Rental Revenue & Cash Flow

68% Increase to Chino Valley Rental Revenue Effective September 1, 2021

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., September 1, 2021 — Zoned Properties®, Inc. (the “Company”) (OTCQB: ZDPY), a leading real estate development firm for emerging and highly regulated industries including legalized cannabis, today announced an amendment to the lease agreement with its significant tenant related to its cultivation facility located in Chino Valley, Arizona.

“After years of project positioning, local collaboration, and real estate entitlement efforts to make the Chino Valley project possible, we are extremely grateful to have a deal structure that benefits both our operating tenant and Zoned Properties as the owner and landlord, for long term expansion and increasing value for our shareholders,” commented Bryan McLaren, Chief Executive Officer of Zoned Properties.

“The increasing demand for regulated marijuana cultivation space and consumer products in Arizona has gone far beyond initial projections as the result of the recently approved and implemented adult-use marijuana program. Industry experts are estimating consumer demand in Arizona could increase above $1 Billion in the next few years, which will require increased cultivation capacity and square footage of entitlement and properly zoned properties such as Chino Valley.”

Transaction Highlights

• Over $8 Million of capital has been invested to-date by the Company’s Significant Tenants at the Chino Valley Cultivation Facility. The Company’s Significant Tenant will maintain the master rights to the property and facilities through the remainder of the Lease Agreement.
• Effective September 1^st, 2021, operational square footage will increase from 40,000 square feet to 67,512 square feet, and the new base rental payments at the facility will increase 68% from $32,800 per month to $55,195 per month including three out of four new building structures in the phase one expansion that are now fully completed and operational.
• The fourth additional building site is in completion stages for technology and operational packages along with compliance inspections. The parties expect that, upon final completion, they will enter into another lease amendment reflecting the increased operational square footage and increased base rental payments. Operational square footage would increase from 67,512 square feet to 97,512 square feet, and base rental payments at the facility would increase an additional 69% from $55,195 per month to $79,795 per month reflecting the entirety of the phase one expansion.
• Upon completion of the entirety of the phase one expansion, the annualized base rental payments will increase to $957,550 reflecting an increase of 143% from previous annualized base rental payments of $393,600.
• The Chino Valley property also includes an approved master plan for a phase two expansion of operational and rentable square footage that is construction ready and may proceed at the Tenant’s election. If the Tenant elects to proceed with phase two, the additional square footage of operational and rentable building space could include another 60,000 square feet for a total of 157,512 square feet of operational and rentable building space at the facility, which would equate to an annualized rental rate of $1,549,918 plus additional rental payments under the triple-net lease.

COVID-19 Statement

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic and recommended containment and mitigation measures worldwide. We are monitoring this closely, and although operations have not been materially affected by the COVID-19 outbreak to date, the ultimate duration and severity of the outbreak and its impact on the economic environment and our business is uncertain. Currently, all of the properties in our portfolio are open to our Significant Tenants and their customers and will remain open pursuant to state and local government requirements. We did not experience in 2020, and to date have not experienced in 2021, any material changes to our operations from COVID-19. We do not anticipate any such material changes for the remainder of 2021. Our tenants are continuing to generate revenue at these properties and they have continued to make rental payments in full and on time and we believe the tenants’ liquidity position is sufficient to cover its expected rental obligations. Accordingly, while we do not anticipate an impact on our operations, we cannot estimate the duration of the pandemic and potential impact on our business if the properties must close or if the tenants are otherwise unable or unwilling to make rental payments. In addition, a severe or prolonged economic downturn could result in a variety of risks to our business, including weakened demand for our properties and a decreased ability to raise additional capital when needed on acceptable terms, if at all. At this time, the Company is unable to estimate the impact of this event on its operations.

Grass Fed Studio Announces Relaunch as Illinois Continues to Hit Record-Breaking Marijuana Sales 

CHICAGO, September 1, 2021 — Today Grass Fed Studio Founder and Creative Director Nate Azark announced the company’s relaunch, whose home market – Illinois – is on track to see more than $1 billion in adult-use marijuana sales this year. With over 20 years of experience, Azark started Grass Fed, a full-service creative studio based in Chicago, in 2017 to cultivate impactful identities for cannabis startups. 

“As the cannabis industry continues to evolve at an unprecedented pace, we chose to refresh our look and feel, as well as hyperfocus our efforts on strategy, branding, packaging, and illustration. Our team stands out among other agencies as we deeply understand the cannabis space from both a B2B and B2C perspective. In addition to our extensive cannabis industry knowledge, we bring decades of experience building strong brands. Our goal is to help our clients inform and educate their consumers about the benefits of cannabis through beautiful design,” said Azark. 

It’s essential that new and existing cannabis businesses – everyone from cultivators and dispensaries to ancillary services – differentiate themselves through an authentic brand story and striking visual identity. Both are vital to succeeding in an incredibly competitive industry. They are also in need of partners with vast experience in the space because the industry is full of unknowns and there is a massive need for cannabis education. 

Grass Fed Studio’s clients include an established Illinois dispensary retail chain, one of the industry’s leading cannabis cultivation and management software companies, and a team of cannabis growers and educators, who were just awarded a Craft Grow license. 

“Our approach is relationship-driven, and we take great pride in the clients we choose to work with. We believe the cannabis industry’s growth is vital to improving people’s lives and value working with those who feel the same way,” said Azark.

New Industrial Cannabis Grinder Perfect for Pre-Rolls and Extraction

Experts in Cannabis Processing Equipment Release the new STM Mini-Revolution 

Spokane, WA — [May 13, 2021]: STM Canna, a leader in high-capacity commercial cannabis processing technologies, announces the launch of its latest industry solution: The Mini-Revolution Premium Grinder. 

Featuring an assortment of innovative features crafted specifically for ultimate efficiency, the Mini-Revolution is set to become one of the best industrial cannabis grinders available for small and medium production facilities. With equipment that is fully manufactured in the U.S.A., those striving to increase their production capabilities can purchase the Mini-Revolution immediately, starting at starting at an affordable  $6000 USD.     

Regarding the company’s latest product launch, a spokesperson for STM Canna Corp. commented, “Unlike whip-style shredders, the Mini-Revolution industrial cannabis grinder utilizes low-friction, low-heat grinding perfect for providing consistent results without degrading your product.” 

Some key features that allow the Mini-Revolution to stand out from other commercial cannabis grinders include: 

• Quality Materials: The quality of a cannabis product is only as good as the quality of its production. As such, STM Canna Corp. constructed the Mini-Revolution using the highest quality of food-grade stainless steel and industrial components all assembled right here in the U.S.A. 

• Simple to Use: The Mini-Revolution was designed to be extremely user-friendly and easy to operate with minimal training.

• Swappable Blades: Users can easily remove the grinder’s blades to clean them or replace them with one of two blade options: one for fine particle sizes and the second for coarse particle sizes.

• Unparalleled Safety: With OSHA compliance and a built-in safe loading system and safety limit switch, the Mini-Revolution is designed from top to bottom with safety in mind.

• Smooth Operation: As one of the best cannabis grinders in recent years, it manages to be whisper-quiet without losing an ounce of efficiency.

• Low-temperature Grinding: The Mini-Revolution’s most compelling feature is its low-temperature grinding, which preserves the precious terpenes and cannabinoids found in cannabis products.

• Effortless to Clean: Cleaning should not be a time-consuming process. The Mini-Revolution grinder disassembles quickly for easy cleaning to get back up and running in little time.

Compared to other, lesser industrial cannabis grinders on the market, the Mini-Revolution was designed and built specifically for the cannabis industry. Additional information about what this innovative tool has to offer can be found here. 

Aside from its grinders, STM Canna Corp. also proudly offers a variety of industry recognized solutions for the cannabis industry, including pre-roll machines, product packaging, pre-rolled cones and more.

STM Canna Launches Revolution Sub-Zero Grinder for Cryo-Frozen Cannabis

Press Release

STM Canna Launches Revolution Sub-Zero Grinder for Cryo-Frozen Cannabis

Leading cannabis technology manufacturer releases sub-zero commercial cannabis grinder.

SPOKANE, WA, March 31, 2021 – STM Canna Corp. (https://stmcanna.com), a leading manufacturer of commercial cannabis processing solutions launches the brand new, reimagined Revolution Sub-Zero commercial cannabis grinder to U.S and global markets, adding to their line of premium processing equipment. 

The Revolution Sub-Zero is specially engineered to operate in environments below -20 F / -28.9 C and features built-in temperature control and pre-heating technology.

STM Canna identified a market absence of commercial-grade cannabis grinding technology that supports today’s relevant methods of processing and extraction using low-temperature cannabis and/or conditions. The Revolution Sub-Zero addresses this need with its innovative approach aimed at providing hemp and marijuana facilities the ability to grind material in low-temperature environments that are known to further preserve cannabinoid profiles and minimize degradation.

“In our pursuit of maximizing cannabinoid preservation in grinding, we identified that a precursor to minimizing loss requires distinct cooperation between optimal starting material and the avoidance of warmer temperatures that induce the volatility of various organic cannabis compounds. The Revolution Sub-Zero is reimagined to work [with conventional dry/cured and cryogenically frozen flower] in these suitable, low-temperature settings for peak potency, flavor, and aroma.” says Jessica Ferranti, Chief Revenue Officer and Executive Vice President of STM Canna Corp.

While there is a growing selection of machinery and tools like dry ice for cryogenically freezing cannabis, the lack of technologically capable machinery to grind cryo-cannabis in the next phase of processing has been limited until now. Because cryogenics are used to avoid degradation of monoterpenes and cannabinoids post-harvest, a low-temperature grind in the Sub-Zero allows for the continuity of this type of preservation to achieve an ultimately superior cannabinoid profile and final product. This also makes The Revolution Sub-Zero cannabis grinder ideal for Live Resin, Rosin extraction, and other processing methods.

The Revolution Sub-Zero is based on STM Canna’s original design of the Revolution 2.0 commercial cannabis grinder and utilizes an extremely sharp dual-blade system which maintains maximum potency by directly slicing through flower with precise, scissor-like motions to achieve the cleanest cuts possible and the most optimal homogenous grind. Combined with this pre-existing technology, the Sub-Zero’s features further encourage degradation to an even lesser degree, making it an invaluable addition to brands seeking to increase ROI and product quality.

About STM Canna
Established in 2017, STM Canna Corp. has through the years grown to become the industry’s standard for commercial pre-roll machines and bespoke cannabis grinders.

STM Canna’s clients range from small producers and processors to the largest, most well-known hemp and marijuana brands in the world.

Solventless, full-spectrum terpene profiles AT SCALE

Vancouver, WA – Cannabis processors seeking quality terpene extract have long been challenged by methodology roadblocks, inconsistent results and scaling issues.

ABM Equipment of Vancouver, WA, and Marion Process Solutions, of Marion, IA, have solved these issues with an innovative design that brings scalability to solventless terpene extraction. Marion announced today that it has achieved patent pending status on the technology, which produces clear, wide-spectrum terpene oil without color-changing contaminants. The approach finally solves the problem of reliable, cost-efficient and high throughput terpene extraction that even outperforms the best CO2 methods being used.

The new system, TXM (Terp Xtract Master) Series™, is particularly ground-breaking for processors because it produces full-spectrum results at scale. Labs have long used a similar method to collect terpene profiles for grams of cannabis at time, but have not had access to scalable solutions. Early validation shows that the TXM Series technology yields a terpene profile that closely matches the original plant profile.

Cannabis and hemp producers have worked for years without success to produce clear, highly matched terpene extracts at a premium level, to function as additional revenue streams for growers, processors and retailers.

“What we’ve been able to achieve is a powerful advancement in terpene extraction technology that answers the industry’s quest for impurity-free, solvent-free clear oils,” said ABM Equipment Owner Jeff Walling.

Marion’s Development Lead, Jay Bonefas, added, “By building a solution around our field-proven Marion WaveMix ™ microwave drying and agitation technology, optimized specifically for the cannabis industry, we’re finally able to unlock the market potential for this important cannabis/hemp product category.”

While prior solutions used solvents to attract the terpenes that then required post-processing steps for removal, the TXM Series relies on microwave drying technology to vaporize the water inside the plant material which acts as a vehicle for terpene removal. The resulting terpenes then enter a condenser “cold trap” unit integrated into the system.

Marion testing of hemp samples yielded Certificates of Analysis (COA) to verify that the process preserves extractable cannabinoids in the plant material after removing the terpenes, increasing the total value of the material. This method is well suited to deterpenate “fresh frozen” material since it utilizes the water in the plant whereas other techniques require drying the material prior to extraction.

In addition to solvent-free purity, the TXM Series’ microwave technology enables a lower operating cost in the US than alternative gas-generated heat steam extraction systems and solutions that require additional solvents or CO2 costs. In addition, the TXM Series offers customers 98% more rapid throughput as it is able to finish dry material in the same vessel, for a far more scalable solution – drying 1.5 pounds of materials in 45 minutes, versus the two days it would take to hang dry.

The TXM Series is supported in the field by ABM Equipment. With nearly 20 proprietary processing equipment solutions and hundreds of active systems, ABM is one of the industry’s leading integrators and provides 24/7 service in support of their distinct clientele.
