Oakland, March 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Terra Tech Corp. (TRTC),
through their medical cannabis subsidiary GrowOp Technology Ltd, is
pleased to announce they are developing a research and industrial
extraction facility focused on the medical cannabis market. The
facility will be located in Oakland, CA and is being built in
response to what the company views as an increase in demand for
high grade CBD as well as other botanical extracts. As a first step
the company has purchased a custom 20 liter 5,000 PSI supercritical
CO2 extractor from Eden
Labs. The extractor is designed for botanical and
nutraceutical extractions and will be utilized to extract CBD
in an effort to have complete control and consistency as they
continue to work with Inergetics in the
creation of a CBD-based nutritional supplement.   This
key piece of equipment utilizes CO2 as a solvent, which is superior
because it is non-flammable and non-toxic mitigating negative
environmental impacts as well as several safety concerns that have
been associated with butane extraction.  This process allows
for the selective extraction of compounds from a variety of
botanicals, which possess potent antioxidant as well as
neuroprotectant properties.



"Consumers are becoming more educated about
safety and quality as the legal medical cannabis market spreads
throughout the US," explains Derek Peterson, CEO of Terra Tech
Corp.  "Patients deserve access to products that are both
effective and free from harmful residues.  Our intention once
we complete our top of the line facility is to partner with a
permitted California based medical cannabis dispensary where we can
pair their expertise with our equipment and technology to
synthesize and create some amazing products."Looking forward, Terra Tech Corp sees
significant shareholder value in researching various methods of
extraction as well as protecting those proprietary findings through
process patents.  Terra Tech's recent investments in the
construction of a fully functional, industrial production and
research facility will be the company's first endeavor into
commercially sustainable botanical extraction.  These product
lines are to include compound profiles and ratios, tailored to the
ever-expanding demands in the marketplace.About Terra TechTerra Tech Corp. (TRTC) through
