Vibe by California Launches Sacramento Delivery this Friday, June 7
SACRAMENTO, Calif., June 06, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Vibe Bioscience Ltd. (CSE: VIBE) (the “Company” or “Vibe”), a vertically integrated cannabis retailer and cultivator, announced that it has been granted a delivery license by and for the City of Sacramento, California. This allows Vibe to deliver cannabis products to California’s Central Valley. The Company plans to launch its delivery service on Friday, June 7, 2019.
“At Vibe, we are on a mission to provide convenient and easy distribution of legal cannabis products,” said Mark Waldron, Chief Executive Officer of Vibe. “This improves the Vibe by California customer experience. A key step in creating convenience is offering same-day delivery for phone and online ordering. To ensure a successful launch of our delivery services, we have invested in making the necessary upgrades to our Sacramento cannabis campus. These include additional hiring and training of personnel.
Having been granted a delivery license for Sacramento, we are launching our door-to-door service this Friday, June 7th. We believe the launch of delivery will further enhance the reach of our Vibe by California brand and www.vibebycalifornia.com platform.”
Vibe has commenced a two-phase capital upgrade of the recently acquired Alpine facilities and operations in Sacramento. This aims to increase cultivation capacity and improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the cultivation process. Additionally, the improvements are expected to enhance the customer retail experience. We are reconfiguring the product pick-up area for online and mobile orders, which will help reduce customer wait times. The first phase of the upgrades is expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2019. Full completion is expected by 2020.

Unlike in Canada which has Federal legislation uniformly governing the cultivation, distribution, sale and possession of medical cannabis under the Cannabis Act (Federal), readers are cautioned that in the U.S., cannabis is largely regulated at the State level. To the knowledge of Vibe Bioscience Ltd., there are to date a total of 33 states, plus the District of Columbia, that have legalized cannabis in some form. Notwithstanding the permissive regulatory environment of medical cannabis at the State level, cannabis continues to be categorized as a controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act in the U.S. As such, cannabis-related practices or activities are illegal under U.S. Federal law. These include without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis.
Strict compliance with State laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve Vibe Bioscience Ltd. of liability under the U.S. Federal law. It will not provide a defense to any Federal proceeding, which may be brought against Vibe Bioscience Ltd. Any such proceedings brought against Vibe Bioscience Ltd. may adversely affect its operations and financial performance.
