Organigram Expands Edison Cannabis Co. Dried Flower Portfolio with Two New High THC Strains: GMO Cookies and MAC-1

As part of the continued expansion of its Edison Cannabis Co. (“Edison”) line of products, Organigram Holdings Inc. (“Organigram” or the “Company”) (TSX: OGI) (NASDAQ: OGI), the parent company of Organigram Inc., a leading producer of cannabis, is pleased to announce the launch of two new Edison dried flower strains including the potent GMO Cookies and legendary citrus diesel MAC-1.

Both strains feature a distinct phenotypic profile, flavour and aroma as a result of being grown in one of Organigram’s strain specific micro-climates.

“Organigram grows and catalogues over fifty new plant genetics every year; GMO Cookies and MAC-1 are excellent examples of diverse and high-quality genetics that we will continue to introduce to the Edison portfolio,” says Greg Engel, CEO, Organigram. “At Organigram, our goal is to continue curating a fresh lineup of potent strains that deliver on value, aroma, and flavour for Edison-savvy, adult consumers.”

GMO Cookies:

An indica strain with a THC range of 20-26%, GMO Cookies’ potency is matched only by the strength of its aroma: sharp and musty with notes of garlic and mushroom. Its crown-shaped flowers are dark green with purple flecks, bright orange pistils and heavy trichomes. The strain’s dominant terpenes include Limonene, Caryophyllene, Humulene, and Myrcene.

Available in 3.5g format or a package of three x 0.5g pre-rolls, GMO Cookies is grown in a custom micro-climate environment optimized for this cultivar and is packaged with a dual-boost humidity pack to preserve freshness.

MAC-1:

A legendary hybrid strain, MAC-1 features an upfront citrus flavour, with a mid-range diesel smell and finishes with notes of spice. The flowers are dense and visually striking, composed of light and dark greens, a punch of light purple, fiery copper pistils and a thick layer of frosty trichomes. The strain’s dominant terpenes include Limonene, Caryophyllene, α-Pinene, β-Pinene, Linalool and a THC range of 20-26%.

MAC-1 is available in 3.5g format or in a package of three x 0.5g pre-rolls. Grown in strain-specific environments customized to MAC-1 help the plant retain its true-to-flower terpene aroma profiles and consistent potency levels.

GMO Cookies and MAC-1 will be available soon at select retailers across the country.
