Aurora Cannabis Inc. ("Aurora" or the "Company") (TSX: ACB) (OTCQB: ACBFF) (Frankfurt: 21P; WKN: A1C4WM) comments on today's Canadian Senate's vote in favour of Bill C-45, which governs the legalization of the adult consumer use of cannabis.

"This truly is a monumental day for Canada and the cannabis movement, with the ground-breaking Senate vote to pass Bill C-45 representing a major milestone, strengthening our global leadership in the cannabis sector, and making this country the first in the Group of Seven Nations (G7) to take this historic step," said Terry Booth, CEO. "We applaud the government's intelligent and rational public policy, initiating wholesale legislative changes - focused on clearly defined objectives - to reduce the negative impact of prohibition, while establishing a well-regulated system designed to protect public health and public safety. We must also salute and congratulate the advocates, the activists and the passionate who for decades, and often at great personal risk, spoke up, sat in, appealed laws, wrote new ones, ran studies, educated, and changed perceptions towards ending criminal prohibition."

"We are very pleased with today's vote, but more important work remains, particularly with respect to how our industry is allowed to operate and profile itself in order to meet Canadian adult consumer expectations," added Mr. Booth. "In addition, with legalization alone, the burden of prior non-violent cannabis-related convictions and charges will continue to carry a significant and unacceptable negative impact on many Canadians, disproportionately affecting individuals from marginalized populations. Aurora believes the government must now urgently consider amnesty for non-violent cannabis-related offenses, and will continue advocating on this important topic. Furthermore, we will continue our advocacy to obtain tax-exempt status for medical cannabis in support of Canada's patients whose quality of life has greatly improved through cannabis-based therapies. Medical cannabis currently is the sole prescribed medicine in Canada upon which any tax is charged, and we will continue our pursuit to correct this oversight."

Mr. Booth concluded, "With the implementation of Bill C-45 around the corner, we will continue our high-paced execution and deliver innovations, industry-leading customer care, and rapidly growing production capacity to this significant and exciting market. We will bring the Aurora Standard to the adult consumer market, delivering a uniquely satisfying customer experience."
