Colorado’s Leading Manufacturer of Edible Medical Marijuana Products Looks to Ensure Global Product Consistency and Enhanced Cost Control with PhytoSPHERE’s Systems<\/strong><\/p>\n DENVER, May 10, 2012 \/PRNewswire\/ — Dixie Elixirs & Edibles (Dixie), Colorado’s premier Medical Marijuana infused products company, today announced that it has entered into an agreement with fellow Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA) portfolio company, PhytoSPHERE, to purchase the rights to PhytoSPHERE’s proprietary indoor planting, cultivation and extraction technology. While Dixie currently operates only in Colorado, this agreement will make Dixie one of the first medical marijuana infused product manufacturers in the world to own end-to-end production of its products. In addition, this technology will be made available to all licensees of Dixie’s intellectual property as outlined in the recent announcement of the formation of Red Dice Holdings, LLC which was formed to legally license the Dixie brand and propriety product development process beyond its current Colorado borders.<\/p>\n PhytoSPHERE’s highly efficient growth, packaging and extraction technologies will provide Dixie a compact, safe, pollutant-free facility which will allow it to:<\/p>\n PhytoSPHERE’s three core technologies consist of:<\/p>\n “Currently 80 percent of all medical cannabis and hemp is grown outdoors, but at PhytoSPHERE we know that while this method is still dominant, it is also highly inefficient with lower yields than indoor cultivation and does not allow for a true pharmaceutical grade cannabis based product,” said Michael Llamas, President of Medical Marijuana Inc. “With outdoor cultivation you cannot ensure the quality, consistency or potency of the product nor can you establish a contaminant free environment. Dixie is clearly a thought leader in the area of alternative medical marijuana delivery systems and when partnered with our software driven, indoor growing and extraction technologies, there is a tremendous opportunity to increase production, stabilize consistency and offer patients the very best quality medicine available.”<\/p>\n “As we continue to grow our operations, serving more patients across Colorado and adding new dispensaries daily, we have recognized the need for greater cost-control and 100 percent consistency across\u00a0 Dixie’s products,” said Tripp Keber, President and CEO of Dixie Elixirs and Red Dice Holdings, LLC. “However, cost control and consistency are arguably very challenging given the various environmental factors that can affect the key ingredient in our products. In fact, the only way to ensure that each and every plant grown meets our rigorous standards and matches the cannabinoid profile we desire for Dixie products is to manage the growth and cultivation process from seed to sale in a very controlled environment. We are lucky enough to have a true innovator and leader in that end-to-end solution development, PhytoSPHERE, as a sister company in the Medical Marijuana, Inc. portfolio. The execution of this licensing agreement is a true game-changer and puts us in the unique and enviable position of being able to cost-effectively cultivate consistently superior medical cannabis for our products.”<\/p>\n About Dixie Elixirs & Edibles<\/strong><\/p>\n As Colorado’s premier Medical Marijuana infused products company, Dixie Elixirs & Edibles\u2122, based in Denver, CO has been providing alternative medicated relief for patients in Colorado since 2009.
