Eight Wellness Focused Formulations Now Available at All New Jersey Cannabist Locations

The Cannabist Company Holdings Inc. (Cboe CA: CBST) (OTCQB: CBSTF) ("The Cannabist Company" or the "Company"), one of the most experienced cultivators, manufacturers and retailers of cannabis products in the U.S., announced today the launch of COAST Cannabis Co. gummies in New Jersey. This launch follows the successful introduction of COAST products in Maryland and represents the continued expansion of the partnership between The Cannabist Company and COAST Cannabis Co. ("COAST"), a woman-owned and led cannabis edibles company.

The Cannabist Company is producing COAST edibles at its Vineland, New Jersey manufacturing facility using the Company’s premium cannabis oil and COAST’s proprietary formulations and ingredient standards. The gummies are now on shelves at Cannabist locations in Deptford, Mays Landing, and Vineland.

New Jersey adult-use consumers and medical patients now have access to COAST’s full gummy lineup, including Energy (Raspberry Lime), Balance (Tangerine), Relax (Peach and Cherry), Recovery (Boysenberry), Sleep (Cranberry Pomegranate), Sleep & Recovery (Blueberry), and Deep Sleep (Goodnight Grape). Each variety is crafted with organic ingredients and contains no artificial flavors, colors, or high-fructose corn syrup.

"COAST has been absolutely crushing it since we brought them to Maryland, and I couldn't be more excited to get them into New Jersey," said Jesse Channon, President of The Cannabist Company. "We're giving New Jersey customers access to some of the best edibles out there - products that are made the right way with real ingredients. We're excited to keep this partnership rolling."

COAST Cannabis Co. has built a reputation as a leading edibles manufacturer since launching in Massachusetts in 2017, consistently ranking among the top brands in the state with a focus on organic ingredients, ethical sourcing, and formulations designed for specific wellness goals.

"New Jersey has such an incredible cannabis community, and we can't wait for them to experience what we're all about," said Angela Brown, Co-Founder and CEO of COAST Cannabis Co. "We started COAST to make products we’d be proud to put into our own bodies by using clean ingredients, no junk, and effects-based formulations people can count on. Partnering with The Cannabist Company means we can deliver exactly that to New Jersey."

COAST gummies are now available at Cannabist dispensary locations throughout New Jersey and will also be distributed through wholesale channels in the state. To find the nearest Cannabist Company dispensary carrying COAST products, visit cannabistcompany.com/locations.
