Inc. (&quot;High Tide&quot; or the &quot;Company&quot;) (Nasdaq: HITI) (TSXV: HITI) (FSE: 2LYA), a leading retail-focused cannabis company
with bricks-and-mortar as well as global e-commerce assets, announced today that its U.K. based subsidiary Blessed CBD has entered the

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">The largest CBD market in Europe, Germany is poised
to experience a significant increase in demand for CBD products in the coming years. The growth in demand for high quality CBD products
is an international phenomenon, with&nbsp;Fortune Business Insights projecting global demand to reach US$56 billion by 2028, equating
to a Compound Annual Growth Rate of 47%.<SUP>1</SUP></P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;Today's news gives us a foothold in Germany
which is poised to make up half of the E.U. cannabis market by 2024, according to Prohibition Partners. The move into Germany is part
of our ongoing strategy to diversify our revenue base by identifying strategic opportunities and filling gaps in international cannabis
markets through the organic expansion of our brands and products,&quot;&nbsp; said Raj Grover, President and Chief Executive Officer of
High Tide. &quot;Our unique and diversified ecosystem allows High Tide to drive revenue, EBITDA growth and market share gains internationally,
today, without having to rely on the potential of federal cannabis legalization in the U.S. Our CBD business lines provide us with high
margin sales opportunities which allow us to further expand market share in our core business of bricks and mortar cannabis sales by enhancing
our consolidated margin profile,&quot; added Mr. Grover.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 15pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin-right: 0; margin-left: 0">&quot;With all of the recent cannabis-related developments
in Germany, I'm thrilled about Blessed CBD's launch in Europe's largest cannabis market. As promised, this is the first phase of our blueprint
