The Clear™ celebrates 10th anniversary and showcases first-of-its-kind automated “hand-roll” joint machine at MJBizCon

With a decade of national cannabis brand success, The Clear is leading the charge for innovation by utilizing the world’s first automated pre-roll machine that does not require a pre-made cone

DENVER — (Nov. 15, 2022) — The Clear™, a legacy national cannabis brand of innovative distilled concentrate products, will exhibit and celebrate its 10th anniversary and the expansion into its 10th state at MJBizCon from Nov. 15 through 18 in Las Vegas. In collaboration with pre-roll manufacturing and technology company RollPros Inc., The Clear will demonstrate a new cannabis innovation, Blackbird, the world’s first fully automated “hand-roll” machine.

“Over the last decade, our unwavering commitment to product consistency, product safety, technological advancement and consumer experience established the foundation to support our brand’s expansion across 10 states. Our next launch will be Mississippi — a feat we’re extremely proud of,” said Richard Batenburg Jr., Chief Executive Officer of Clear Cannabis Inc. licensor of The Clear brand. “To properly expand, scale and provide our loyal customers with the same great products — regardless of where they’re located — we’ve implemented the innovative Blackbird machine to dramatically increase throughput for our premium TWAX hand-roll-style joints.”

Specifically designed to tackle the quality, consistency and labor challenges associated with manufacturing cannabis pre-rolls, the Blackbird Rolling System uses TruRoll™ technology, gravity and volumetric filling to produce over 750 consistent, uniform and rolled pre-rolls per hour. A pioneer of the Blackbird Rolling System, with over 60 Blackbirds currently in the market, The Clear is one of the first major brands to utilize this technology to support its state expansion goals by delivering high-quality, rolled prerolls that only the Blackbird can produce.

“We’re honored to showcase our Blackbird technology alongside The Clear as two joined entities entering new cannabis markets at the forefront of innovation,” said Tyler Vaughan, Director of Sales & Marketing at RollPros. “Our Blackbird TruRoll technology–which can roll two precise TWAX joints every 9 seconds–is uniquely equipped to continue The Clear’s business initiative of providing consistent quality across state lines and consumption formats.”

The multistate cannabis brand will also demonstrate proprietary automated vape cartridge-filling and capping technology from cannabis engineering and development company Detroit Dispensing Solutions. The CFS-1800 vape cartridge filling machine employs an industrial-grade robot to fill cartridges, pods and disposables with speed, precision and reliability at high capacities while maintaining the lowest dispensing temperatures in the industry.

“Like The Clear, our company will commemorate a major accomplishment at MJBizCon — and we look forward to sharing this impactful moment with their team,” said Chris Joseph, CEO of Detroit Dispensing Solutions. “At the conference, our company will celebrate our technology’s 10 millionth cartridge filling since inception, thus showcasing the advancements we’ve made over the last 10 years of designing and engineering production equipment for the cannabis industry.”

Ranked No. 2 cannabis concentrate brand in Colorado, the most competitive cannabis market in the world, by BDSA, The Clear’s growing portfolio of consumption formats and proprietary manufacturing processes ensures its customer base receives the highest-quality cannabis in its new state, Mississippi, as well as nine other states throughout the country. 

The Clear line, which includes vape cartridges, infused, hand-rolled joints, and microdose gummy products, is available in California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico and Oklahoma (availability of various products by state and retailer). The national cannabis leader has plans to roll out additional consumption formats and expand into emerging markets throughout the east coast in 2023.

In late March, The Clear earned industry recognition in Rooster Magazine’s annual THC Classic, a cannabis competition in Colorado. The star of the show was The Clear cartridge in Lime Sorbet, a Sativa-influenced flavor from The Clear’s signature Elite line with first place in the Flavored Vape category.

TWAX, an infused pre-roll line that was launched by The Clear in 2021, with TWAX mini pre-rolls that launched in 2022, also received recognition. TWAX Blueberry, a premium distillate-infused pre-rolled joint with all-natural flavor innovated by The Clear, received second place in the Infused Pre-Roll category for the 10th annual THC Championship 2022.

The Clear’s Endo line, an enhanced live resin vape cartridge, was launched last April. Endo Blueberry, a unique craft concentrate with an all-natural sweet blueberry dessert flavor, won third place in the Hydrocarbon Vape category in the Rooster 710 Showdown 2022.

The Clear™ New Gummies Edible Line Launches in Missouri Market in Partnership with COCO Labs

The Clear Dripcees fast-acting gummies will be available in Missouri late-August

DENVER – August, 16, 2022 ­– Legacy national cannabis brand The Clear™ has partnered with COCO Labs – Missouri’s premier medicinal marijuana manufacturer to produce a new line of cannabis gummy edibles called Dripcees™ available in stores across the state in late August.

“COCO Labs is honored to be the first manufacturer of the Dripcees brand” says Craig Smith, Partner & CIO of COCO Labs. “We are proud to utilize our state-of-the-art facility in the development and expansion of The Clear and COCO’s product line. Dripcees are expertly crafted to keep the consumer in mind with health and wellness at the forefront. Customizable dosing and inclusion of minor cannabinoids give the consumer peace of mind for medicating and effects.”

From the company that brings you The Clear’s industry-leading vape and infused pre-roll products, Dripcees by The Clear are fast-acting, vegan gummies for the modern cannabis consumer. Dripcees Gummies are infused using premium distillate and enriched with specific ratios of cannabinoids designed to provide unique experiences.

Each piece is scored with lines to help consumers split it by hand into as many as four smaller pieces for microdoses. Dripcees are produced in the shape of The Clear’s iconic Drip-C logo and come in three delicious, all-natural flavors, with more great flavors to come. These current flavors include Dripcees Tropical Coconut ‘Enjoy’, THC only gummies, Peaches N’ Cream ‘Sleep’ gummies with THC, CBN and CBD, and Strawberry Watermelon ‘Recover’ gummies with THC and CBG.

Dripcees also use a special cannabinoid delivery system designed to improve how your body absorbs cannabinoids that makes them fast-acting – effects can be felt in as little as 15 minutes. This unique proprietary cannabinoid-delivery technology is Lipid In-vivo Transport (LIT) – one of The Clear’s fast-acting and bioavailability increasing infusions.

“Missouri is a rapidly developing market in the cannabis space” says Seth Wiggins, Chief Business Officer, Clear Cannabis Inc. (CCI). “A new gummy line from a national brand like The Clear will offer consumers a unique experience incorporating popular minor cannabinoids, a fast-acting delivery system and complemented by what we excel at – amazing flavors.”

Dripcees Gummies are expected to be available at retail stores the week of August 22nd statewide including in central Missouri, Kansas City and St. Louis, starting at COCO dispensaries.
