(CSE: RWB and OTCQX: RWBYF ) (“RWB” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Platinum Vape, (“Platinum” or “PV”) has partnered with Budee, the Delivery-as-a- Service platform owned by Stem Holdings, Inc. d/b/a Driven By Stem (CSE: STEM and OTCQX: STMH) to offer Platinum products via home delivery to 92% of California’s population through the “Budee” e-commerce store. https://budee.org/brands/platinum -vape

This partnership will vastly expand availability of Platinum’s premium cannabis products in California as demand for home delivery of cannabis products continues to accelerate. Budee’s proprietary platform will enable Platinum’s consumers to enjoy a seamless experience by purchasing their favorite products online for express (within 90 minutes) or overnight delivery to their homes.

Budee employs over 350 delivery drivers servicing customers from four distribution hubs strategically located in California, allowing for the fastest same-day turnaround in the industry.

Brad Rogers, CEO & Chairman of RWB commented, “This is a fantastic partnership for RWB, Platinum and cannabis consumers in California. We are very excited to be able to work with Adam Berk, CEO & Chairman of Driven By Stem and his team. Adam is the visionary that pioneered delivery in foodservice as the founder of Osmio, which was acquired by Grub Hub. These folks are experts in the in-home delivery space and through this partnership, we have the opportunity to deliver Platinum to the homes of 92% of Californians with speed and convenience. This will certainly increase our brand recognition and avail Platinum to a significantly greater number of consumers in this previously underserved market” he concluded.

Adam Berk added, “We are pleased and proud to partner with Red White & Bloom to expand the distribution footprint of this leading brand, ensuring that its many consumers can quickly and personally receive the high-quality products they want in the comfort and safety of their homes.”
