        Cannabis Executive Looks Forward


        to Becoming Significant Contributor

        in Home State

           “Green Dragon promises every patient a welcoming and non-intimidating
         cannabis experience in all of our dispensaries,” he says. “We also guarantee the best
         product selection, highest quality and most competitive prices in Florida. We
         believe cannabis is way too expensive in the Florida medical market and we can’t
         wait to be able to bring more affordable medical cannabis to our patients.”
           Levine adds that Green Dragon plans to be one of the largest cannabis companies
         in the state in the next few years, and guarantees that it will have the best prices,
         products and service.
           “I think we’re going to be able to shake things up a bit in the Florida medical mar-
         ijuana market,” he says.
           In the short term, he says their goals are to wrap up its first big harvest in January
         and to continue opening dispensaries around the state.
           “We’re in this business for the long-run, unlike many other cannabis companies,
         and we plan to be one of the biggest dispensaries in Florida,” he says.
