Irwin Naturals Inc. (CSE:IWIN) has announced a licensing and supply agreement with Mockingbird Cannabis, LLC to produce and distribute Irwin Naturals THC products in Mississippi.
The company said under the licensing agreement, Mockingbird Cannabis will augment Irwin Naturals products with THC and make them available to Mississippi dispensaries where they will be sold under the Irwin Naturals brand name.
“We are positioned as one of the first household brands to have a national footprint in THC, and this partnership with Mockingbird Cannabis in Mississippi is a great step toward that goal,” Irwin Naturals CEO Klee Irwin said in a statement.

“The state-of-the-art facility that Clint Patterson and his team have put together in Mississippi and their leading position in the market makes Mockingbird Cannabis the perfect partner as we seek to make Irwin Naturals THC products available in every state it is legal,” Irwin added.
Irwin Naturals noted that the Mississippi state legislature passed a bill earlier this year to legalize medical marijuana, and it was signed into law by the governor.
It added that as of last month, more than 100 dispensaries had been licensed by the state with the expectation that sales will begin by the end of the year.
Mockingbird Cannabis is the largest licensed medical marijuana cultivator currently operating in Mississippi and is expected to be one of the first companies to have product that is ready to market, according to the company.
Irwin Naturals said products are available in more than 100,000 stores in North America.
Irwin Naturals has been a household name and best-in-class nutraceutical company since 1994. On a mission to heal the world with plant medicine, it is now leveraging its brand in both the cannabis and psychedelics sectors.
