NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., April 5, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Terra Tech Corp (OTCQX: TRTC) ("Terra Tech" or the "Company"), a vertically integrated, cannabis-focused agriculture company, today announced that it has launched a new line of pre-filled, IVXX-branded medical cannabis cartridges. An initial order for approximately $170,000, or 10,000 units, has been received from one of Terra Tech's distributors. This is the first of multiple cartridge lines, each containing varying percentages of cannabinoids, to be launched over the next four months.

The cannabis oil cartridges will offer a variety of cannabis strains of varying potencies in easy-to-use, convenient cartridges designed for use in vaporizers. Made from local, sustainably grown cannabis that has been cleanly extracted using a supercritical CO2 method, the oil is lab-formulated for consistency, and lab-tested for purity and potency. Terra Tech manufactures the pre-filled cartridges at its IVXX Extraction Lab, and will distribute them via its existing distribution network and retail locations.

Derek Peterson, CEO of Terra Tech, commented, "There is a demand for pre-filled vaporizer cartridges among medical cannabis patients who value easy-to-use convenience items. We are already seeing a positive initial response to this product and shipped our first order of 10,000 units to one of our distributors.  Our cartridges are the latest addition to our IVXX-branded portfolio of finest-grade cannabis products and are refined to our exact micro-specifications to ensure the highest-quality experience for patients. The cartridge lines will be offered in Indica, Sativa and Hybrid strains and at a variety of different THC purity levels so that patients can access the most appropriate medicine for their individual ailments."
