I have long believed that providing a viable non-tobacco and non-nicotine dip alternative for adults is an important step forward. The work Cannadips CBD has done on the development of this product is outstanding, and I look forward to working with Lexaria as we continue to develop and implement the technology."

Boldt Runners is fostering growth in sales and manufacturing. The company recently built a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Humboldt County, CA that will allow for expanded production levels of cutting-edge pouching technologies, as well as for future growth.

About Lexaria

Lexaria Bioscience Corp.'s (OTCQX: LXRP, CSE: LXX) proprietary drug delivery technology, DehydraTECH(TM), improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) enter the bloodstream by promoting healthier ingestion methods and increasing the effectiveness of fat-soluble active molecules, thereby lowering overall dosing.
