BURLINGTON, Ontario December 21, 2020 – Rapid Dose Therapeutics Corp. (“RDT” or the “Company”) (CSE: DOSE), a Canadian life sciences company focused on innovative drug and active ingredient delivery solutions, has worked diligently with its customer, Thrive Cannabis Inc. (“Thrive”), this past year preparing to launch Thrive’s Being™ brand of THC and CBD 10mg oral strips using RDT’s QuickStrip™ formulations infused with Thrive’s cannabis oils. RDT is now pleased to announce that shipments of Thrive’s oral strips have commenced and are being sold in stores across Ontario through Ontario’s cannabis distribution system.

Jason Lewis, Senior Vice President Business Development, announced that, “Despite the delays and product deployment issues occurring in 2020, we have delivered on our commitment by producing a rapid response, precisely dosed QuickStrip™ that complies with all of Health Canada’s exacting regulations for this new extract product. Edible products, such as oils and pills, which are swallowed are released slowly into the bloodstream through the digestive system. Alternatively, a QuickStrip™ simply placed under the tongue or inside the cheek is absorbed directly into the bloodstream providing a quick, convenient, precise, and discreet dosing experience. As these products get launched throughout Canada over the next three months, we anticipate Ontario stores issuing replenishment stocking orders behind the first deliveries indicating an early-stage level of interest by consumers in these unique products. As a result, RDT is now operating two shifts per day and scaling production to fulfill further order requirements for the first calendar quarter of 2021.”
