The publicly-traded company is now listed under the OTC ticker symbol &ldquo;SHWZ.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Schwazze refers to a cultivation process, and the company&rsquo;s new CEO told TechCrunch the name change reflects the company&rsquo;s focus. &ldquo;It is the core process within nurturing and growing a plant by taking the leaves off very carefully to allow the trunk to grow and widen, providing more nutrients to the flower in the canopy.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s incredibly important. It spurs growth and health,&rdquo; Schwazze CEO Justin Dye said, referring to the Schwazze method.<\/p>\n<div class=\"piano-inline-promo\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<p>The company will keep the Medicine Man Technologies brand as its professional services arm.<\/p>\n<p>In late 2019, the company announced a handful of planned acquisitions and hired Dye as its new CEO. This week, Dye announced the company had purchased Mesa Organics and Purplebee&rsquo;s, both Colorado-based cannabis companies founded by James Parco, Ph.D., a tenured professor at Colorado College. Parco is joining Schwazze&rsquo;s management team. This purchase adds several dispensaries and an advanced extractor to Schwazze&rsquo;s portfolio.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;They&rsquo;re [Mesa Organics and Purplebee&rsquo;s] a great company,&rdquo; Dye said, &ldquo;They&rsquo;re growing quickly, they&rsquo;re very profitable and have a great management team. They have a great leader who&rsquo;s joining our team.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Schwazze isn&rsquo;t letting the COVID-19 crisis slow its growth. The company intends to scoop up additional dispensaries, cultivators, and manufacturers as it grows with Colorado.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/04\/23\/the-cannabis-group-medicine-man-technologies-rebrands-as-schwazze-announces-sweeping-acquisitions\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2020\/04\/23\/the-cannabis-group-medicine-man-technologies-rebrands-as-schwazze-announces-sweeping-acquisitions\/<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Matt Burns<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Matt Burns<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of Colorado&rsquo;s fastest-growing cannabis companies has a new look.
