(CSE: HOLL) (OTC: HSTRF) (FRANKFURT: HOB) (the "Company", "Hollister Cannabis Co." or "Hollister") a diversified cannabis branding company with products in over 280 dispensaries throughout California, and over 80 dispensaries throughout Arizona provides comment on the successful passage of Proposition 207 – legalizing the cultivation, sale and consumption of recreational cannabis in the state of Arizona.

"Seeing recreational Cannabis legalized in the state is an encouraging sign and is hopefully another step toward federal legalization. It should lead to increased tax revenue and job creation. The recreational cannabis market in Arizona could be valued at up to US $760 million by 2024¹, significantly expanding the total addressable market for Cannabis in the state. We look forward to making our product line available to both the medical and recreational end user."
