Report on Business Cannabis Professional supported by dedicated
journalism team

With unprecedented resources and the largest dedicated cannabis
coverage team in the market, The Globe and Mail today launched Report
on Business Cannabis Professional, a premium subscription news
service for global cannabis insiders and investors.

Backed by The Globe's award-winning journalism and the largest
business newsroom in Canada, Report on Business Cannabis Professional
(https://robcannabispro.com/) covers exclusive information about the
cannabis sector not available elsewhere. The B2B newsletter,
available weekday mornings, will include need-to-know news about
policy decisions, people moves, corporate finance, and business
strategy and operations. In addition, subscribers will be the first
to receive alerts with breaking cannabis industry news from The
Globe's newsroom and bureaus.

"This is a product geared for people who need the best
understanding of an industry that is on the cusp of a historic
moment, with federal legalization coming in October," says Rob
Gilroy, Editor, Report on Business Cannabis Professional. "The
opportunities and risks for entrepreneurs and investors will be huge.
From tracking policy trends across the country to reporting the
latest mergers and acquisitions, our seasoned reporters will cut
through the noise to bring subscribers the industry intelligence and
insight they need to get ahead."

Gilroy, a Report on Business veteran, leads a team of experienced
journalists to bring subscribers essential news and insights. The
group includes:

- Globe cannabis reporters Christina Pellegrini and Mark Rendell;
- Marcy Nicholson, a veteran journalist from Reuters joining The
Globe to cover the industry in Western Canada from our Calgary
bureau;
- Jessie Willms, a data journalist with a strong track record who
joined The Globe from CBC;
- Award-winning business writer David Milstead;
- Members of The Globe and Mail's Report on Business team, including
financial columnist Andrew Willis and investing writer David
Berman; as well as
- Cannabis experts from outside The Globe.

Report on Business editor Derek DeCloet oversees the product,
which exemplifies The Globe's expected journalism excellence.

"Cannabis professionals globally are looking to Canada to see how
we navigate the first recreational cannabis legalization in a G7
country," says Gilroy. "Our coverage will go behind the headlines for
a comprehensive view of this multi-billion-dollar market."

"The Globe and Mail is respected for its business reporting across
the country and its coverage of new industries such as cannabis,"
says Phillip Crawley, The Globe's Publisher and CEO. "With
significant change occurring weekly, if not daily, in the cannabis
sector, The Globe is well-placed to provide subscribers with what
they need to know to make better business decisions with current and
reliable news and analysis."
