COVID-19 Update

Nevada dispensaries have moved swiftly to adapt to new state safety regulations which deem cannabis businesses as essential services, but require that all sales of product be conducted via delivery only. To assist with this implementation, the Nevada Department of Taxation unveiled a virtual inspection process to speedily authorize vehicles for cannabis delivery. Over 100 vehicles were approved in the first weekend of inspection. As of March 30^th, 300 new vehicles and 59 dispensaries were approved for delivery, up from 38 dispensaries the week prior. Flower One is actively partnering with state dispensaries to ensure that they have sufficient, high-quality product to supply the Nevada resident population.

As previously reported, Flower One continues to operate its 455,000 square-foot flagship cultivation and production facility as well as its 25,000 square-foot indoor cultivation and commercial kitchen facility in manners which are compliant with the public health guidelines issued by Nevada Health. The safety of its employees remains Flower One’s top priority.
