SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Feb. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Item 9 Labs Corp. (OTC: INLB) (Item 9 Labs or the Company), a leading developer and manufacturer of innovative cannabis products and proprietary delivery platforms, today announced it received top honors at Arizona’s 2019 ERRL Cup Awards for the second consecutive year. The Company’s Candyland and Tres Leches cannabis flower strains were named 1 st Place Sativa and 2 nd Place Hybrid respectively.

Candyland previously received 1 st Place Sativa honors at the 2018 ERRL Cup and the Company’s Vanilla Bean strain was named 1 st Place Indica. Now in its fifth year, the ERRL Cup is an annual festival and awards event created to help patients receive safe access to clean and consistent medicine in Arizona.

“Out of 552 entries, it is an honor for Item 9 Labs to be recognized again. These ERRL Cup awards are a testament to our consistency and confirms our Company’s dedication to developing high-quality products with patient safety in mind,” stated Sara Gullickson, CEO of Item 9 Labs Corps.

The ERRL Cup is considered the “Patient’s Cup” because it is a third-party facilitated blind-tested judging process. In addition to ensuring credibility, the ERRL Cup also uses cannabinoid, pesticides, mold, growth regulators, terpenes, and residual solvent testing on every submission to gauge quality.

Item 9 Labs is headquartered in southern Arizona where it owns and operates one of the largest properties in the U.S. zoned to grow and cultivate medical cannabis covering 50 acres. Along with its flower and concentrates offerings, the Company is diversifying its product lines with proprietary THC and CBD-derived delivery systems, including its Intra-Nasal device and Apollo Vape Pen and Pod System.
