Pioneering Fast-Acting Edibles Brand Azuca Partners with Patriot Care Medical Dispensaries

Three Locations in Massachusetts to carry Azuca’s TiME INFUSION™ Technology

COLORADO/NEW YORK (November 16, 2020)—Azuca, the leading all-natural fast-acting edibles brand, has partnered with Patriot Care—the Massachusetts arm of Columbia Care—to expand its footprint and fulfill the demand for a quick-onset, controllable edible experience by utilizing its TiME INFUSION™ technology. With this new partnership, Patriot Care will now carry fast-acting edibles made with Azuca’s delicious cannabinoid infusions.
“Massachusetts is a key market for Azuca. Patients and recreational customers are rightfully demanding edibles that are fast-acting, reliable and consistent. Azuca’s TiME INFUSION™ technology is the most compelling cannabinoid delivery system in the market,” said Kim Sanchez Rael, President & CEO of Azuca.
“We are proud to partner with Patriot Care and make fast-acting, chef-quality cannabinoid-infused products available to those in need.”
Azuca’s TiME INFUSION™ process makes cannabinoid molecules water friendly, and enables faster uptake, beginning immediately in the mouth and avoiding the liver where cannabinoids are degraded and absorption is slowed. Traditional edible products on the market take up to 90 minutes to take effect, however Azuca’s are made to take effect within 15 minutes. Azuca’s product line consists of a variety of chef-quality, innovative ingredients like simple syrups and sugars which can be used to create edibles that both taste good and act quickly.

Patriot Care, a Columbia Care company, will bring their new fast-acting edibles, including hard candy lozenges and gummies, to all three Massachusetts facilities, located in Boston, Greenfield, and Lowell. One of the leading states in both medical and recreational cannabis, Massachusetts continues to expand
its market for cannabinoid-infused edibles and introduce innovative technologies.
