AmeriCann Launches “Solanna” Line of Cannabis Infused Products

The Solanna Brand is the Latest Addition to the Company’s Expanding Intellectual Property Portfolio

DENVER, CO / September 21, 2016 / AmeriCann, Inc. (ACAN-OTCQX), a company that designs and plans to develop sustainable, state-of-the-art medical cannabis cultivation properties, has announced the creation of “Solanna”, a new comprehensive line of nutraceutical-grade cannabis infused products.

Solanna Capsules will provide medical cannabis patients with alternatives to smoking cannabis

The intellectual property for Solanna will be licensed by AmeriCann to regulated cannabis businesses and will initially focus on providing healthier alternatives to smoking that include:

• Capsules
• Topical lotions and balms
• Sublingual tinctures
• Oral dissolving film
• Trans-dermal applications
• Oil cartridges for vaporizing

The Company plans to expand the product line to include edible products, health drinks, and branded concentrates.  The products are designed to allow consumers to manage dosage through micro-dosing and to improve efficacy by incorporating blends of other plants, essential oils and other supplements that enhance and compliment the benefits of cannabis.

Consumers seek quality, consistency and value for all products.  The need for Solanna as a brand that instills confidence and reliability for consumers is even more important for the emerging cannabis industry.   As more patients and consumers are introduced to cannabis for the first time, the availability of a trusted brand is particularly important.

“The introduction of a proprietary brand of cannabis products is the perfect complement to our business model – which is to provide state-of-the-art cannabis cultivation and processing facilities throughout the country”, said Tim Keogh, CEO of AmeriCann, Inc.

Solanna Cannabis Infused Topical Lotions

AmeriCann is the developer of the proposed Massachusetts Medical Cannabis Center (MMCC)
a large-scale cultivation and processing facility designed with AmeriCann’s exclusive “Cannopy” system. The MMCC project is planned to include an extensive extraction and processing laboratory where the Solanna line of products may be produced for distribution to the Massachusetts market through AmeriCann’s Preferred Partners.

AmeriCann has created the brand, packaging concepts and invested significantly in Standard Operating Procedures and Good Manufacturing Practices to ensure safety, consistency and efficacy across the product offering.

With the increasing prominence of infused cannabis products, it is a natural extension of this mission that AmeriCann would expand to include infused products.

“Solanna will enable our Preferred Partners to maximize the potential of the cannabis produced under the Cannopy system and to improve product offerings to patients in their respective markets,” further commented CEO Tim Keogh.

The Solanna line of products will be offered exclusively through AmeriCann’s Preferred Partners.
