Irwin Naturals THC Products to Launch in Colorado, the World’s 2nd Largest Cannabis Market

LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Irwin Naturals Inc. (CSE: IWIN) (OTC: IWINF) (FRA: 97X) (“Irwin” or the “Company”) announced today it has licensed its brand to Larsen Group II LLC, a Colorado manufacturer of cannabis products. Larsen Group II LLC will produce and distribute formulas such as Irwin Naturals Power to Sleep with THC.

Irwin’s CEO, Klee Irwin, said, “I’m pleased with how quickly our team is lining up distribution across the US in what is now already our 3^rd state in about a month. Larsen Group II LLC was selected because of their growth-focused mindset and operational excellence. Important, they have one of the broadest distribution bases in the state – a state with $2.2 billion in cannabis sales last year¹.

Mr. Irwin continued, “Licensing is a win-win approach for three reasons. (1) It provides significant tax advantages to us, (2) it greatly reduces our need for cash investment to set up factories and distribution systems in each state and (3), most importantly, it allows us to carpet the countries with dispensaries selling Irwin Naturals formulas infused with THC in a remarkably short period of time as we embark on this landgrab to become the world’s first household name brand in cannabis. Our partners in CA, CO and NM are now able to distribute a brand known by over 100 million North Americans**, with high trust ratings and a loyal customer base.”

Zac Larsen, owner of Larsen Group II LLC, commented, “Like all the other states, Colorado doesn’t have a household brand in cannabis yet. This is about to change with the entrance of Irwin Naturals into our market. Of course, this same brand has actually been in our state in virtually every health food store and mass market chain store for over 25 years. Accordingly, we are proud to have been selected by Klee and the team to help bring this suite of widely recognized products to our state.”
