National Access Cannabis Expands and Solidifies Business Relationship with CannaRoyalty

NAC to sell CannaRoyalty Products at future retail locations across Canada

OTTAWA, March 15, 2018 /CNW/ - National Access Cannabis Corp. ("NAC" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: NAC), Canada's best practices leader in delivering secure, safe and responsible access to legal cannabis, today announced that it has signed a binding term sheet (the "Term Sheet") to expand its business relationship with CannaRoyalty Corp. ("CannaRoyalty") (CSE: CRZ) (OTCQX: CNNRF), to carry CannaRoyalty products in NAC stores in various provinces in Canada, as legally permitted. This non-exclusive agreement expands on an existing business relationship to distribute CannaRoyalty products through NAC's future Manitoban retail stores.

"Our growing relationship with CannaRoyalty will provide our retail customers with greater access to a diverse portfolio of quality cannabis products at our future locations," said Mark Goliger, Chief Executive Officer of National Access Cannabis. "Their deep experience successfully supplying branded cannabis products to the Californian marketplace will serve us well as we look to grow our retail footprint outside of Manitoba, to Alberta, British Columbia and beyond.  Ultimately, our aim is to offer a balanced approach to retail distribution; providing Canadians with access to high-quality products while maintaining our reputation for secure, safe, and responsible access."

"The business relationship we have established with NAC is a strong step toward expanding our distribution pipeline in advance of both adult-use legalization and the regulatory inclusion of product forms beyond cannabis flower and oils in Canada," said Marc Lustig, CEO of CannaRoyalty. "NAC has emerged as one of the leading independent retailers in Canada and we see significant value in our experience and product portfolio, combined with NAC's history of operating safe and secure medical retail cannabis stores in Canada."
