Kelowna, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 5, 2015) - Lexaria, Corp. (OTCQB: LXRP) (CSE: LXX) (the "Company") provides the following information regarding sales channels that the Company is developing.

Lexaria has to date sold small but increasing amounts of ViPovaTM Tea through the ViPova website. The Company has certain marketing strategies under development that could result in meaningful increased awareness and product sales prior to the end of the Company's fiscal year (August 31).

To facilitate our sales, Lexaria has signed an agreement with a sales organization that specializes in sales to the medical marijuana dispensary industry. Direct sales representatives' initiatives are to commence next week. The professional salespeople will introduce Lexaria products, beginning with ViPovaTM Tea and gradually introducing additional products as they become available. The focus of these sales efforts will be leading medical marijuana dispensaries, where customers are generally already informed of the beneficial properties of cannabidiol.

ViPovaTM Tea is now available at a small number of retail and online locations. We expect to soon have additional online and retail locations where ViPovaTM is available, and will announce all these locations soon. Lexaria has also begun welcoming affiliate sales people who are having increasing success selling the product both to individuals and to retail locations.

Lexaria has also continued efforts to make ViPova Tea available at Amazon.com and is awaiting a decision from Amazon regarding this sales channel, which has taken more time than expected.

Lexaria has also identified a particular health & fitness vertical sales channel that management believes will be very receptive to our CBD-fortified products, and is preparing a large marketing and sample provision campaign to this industry this summer, focused to start on Western US states. One particularly interesting aspect of this sales channel is that Lexaria currently has virtually no competition within it, since those companies that produce THC containing products are not permitted to sell within this channel in general. Lexaria's products, using our proprietary patent-pending CBD infusion process, are uniquely positioned to deliver CBD through popular food and beverage categories.

Coordinated with our sales initiatives are our product development programs: we want our salespeople to have the ability to sell several unique food products sooner rather than later. Product development in the areas of hot chocolate, coffee, flavored teas and energy bars is all ongoing at this time.
