Columbia Care Inc. (NEO: CCHW) (CSE: CCHW) (OTCQX: CCHWF) (FSE: 3LP) (“Columbia Care” or the “Company”) released the following statement from CEO Nicholas Vita following the signing of cannabis legislation by New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy.  

“We commend New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and the state legislature for coming together to pass a series of cannabis reform bills that not only reflect the will of the voters but that also take historic action to lift up communities that have been disproportionately impacted by the failed prohibition of cannabis. We look forward to working closely with the Cannabis Regulatory Commission (CRC) to support the expansion of the existing medical market framework to adult use and ensuring that patients across the state continue to have equal access to the cannabis products they trust and need to treat many chronic conditions. As an existing medical operator, we have made substantial investments in New Jersey and its medical market, bringing trusted and quality products to patients and creating an infrastructure to support the growing market. We have already begun to expand our existing cultivation operations to meet the growing patient demand and are in a strong position to accommodate adult use customers when sales begin. We welcome the opportunity to bring the same level of product integrity to help all adults on their health and wellness journeys. This is a landmark day for New Jersey, and we look forward to playing a part in the success of the roll-out in the days and months to come.”
