"Our Companies share a common goal in helping to combat our nation's opioid crisis and the negative impacts of addiction and overdose. As the United States government moves toward rescheduling cannabis as a legitimate medicine, this collaboration will help more patients find sustainable, safer, and more affordable healthcare treatment options."

To celebrate the launch of this collaboration, the Companies will co-host three charitable, community care events throughout the summer. These will be held at Curaleaf's Lehi Medical Cannabis Pharmacy location (3363 N Thanksgiving Way, Lehi, Utah) on Tuesday, June 25th, Curaleaf's Provo Medical Cannabis Pharmacy location (222 Draper Lane, Provo, Utah) on Tuesday, July 16th, and Curaleaf's Payson Medical Cannabis Pharmacy location (757 S 1040 W St, Payson, Utah) on Tuesday, August 6th.
