Flint & Embers Enters Canada's Largest Recreational Cannabis Market, Recreational Product Line Now Available in Ontario

TORONTO, July 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MJardin Group, Inc. (CSE: MJAR) (the "Company" or "MJardin"), a leader in premium cannabis production is pleased to announce that its flagship brand, Flint & Embers, has successfully shipped its first orders of cannabis to the Ontario Cannabis Store ("OCS") for retail sale. The OCS is Ontario's only legal online retailer and is responsible for the wholesale distribution of recreational cannabis products to private retailers in the province. MJardin expects its Flint & Embers products to be available for purchase from private cannabis retailers throughout Ontario as well as online through the OCS at www.ocs.ca prior to the end of July 2021.

The Flint & Embers brand provides high quality, small-batch cannabis made with MJardin's best-in-class facilities. Flint & Embers differentiates itself from other brands by using purpose-built modular systems and sought-after genetics.

MJardin remains committed and focused on targeted consumer segments and differentiating the Company during the rapid growth of retail cannabis stores in Ontario. The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario, which regulates the cannabis industry, aims to approve dozens of cannabis retail outlets each week with the goal of hitting 1,000 stores across the province by October 2021. In addition, the OCS has focused on dropping prices to draw in customers who would typically purchase cannabis illicitly. With two state-of-the-art facilities across Canada, and a new look for the brand that features bold hues and a clean design highlighting Flint & Embers unique and dynamic strains, the Company is confident in its ability to service the growing needs of Ontario consumers with Flint & Embers' top shelf cannabis products.

"We are delighted that our cannabis collection will now be available to consumers in Ontario, one of the key growth centres for the cannabis industry at large," said Pat Witcher, Chief Executive Officer of MJardin. "These shipments mark a major milestone for the brand. Together with our previously announced supply agreements in Alberta and British Columbia, we now have access to over 70% of Canada's established retail cannabis network. This brings a fundamental change as we now begin to exhibit our true strengths, allowing the brand to grow organically."

MJardin continues to pursue additional licensing opportunities across Canada and has secured additional opportunities for launching new products in the province of Ontario in the near future.

Caution Regarding Cannabis Operations in the United States

Investors should note that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in the United States. Cannabis remains a Schedule I drug under the US Controlled Substances Act, making it illegal under federal law in the United States to, among other things, cultivate, distribute or possess cannabis in the United States. Financial transactions involving proceeds generated by, or intended to promote, cannabis-related business activities in the United States may form the basis for prosecution under applicable US federal money laundering legislation.

While the approach to enforcement of such laws by the federal government in the United States has trended toward non-enforcement against individuals and businesses that comply with medical or adult-use cannabis programs in states where such programs are legal, strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve the Company of liability under US federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. The enforcement of federal laws in the United States is a significant risk to the business of the Company and any proceedings brought against the Company thereunder may adversely affect the Company's operations and financial performance.
