−Removed: facilities, implementing its proprietary operating procedures, and industry best practices.
−Removed: In 2018, the Company commenced a strategic
−Removed: plan to transition from an advisory firm that provides cannabis licensing, operational consulting and real estate services, to
−Removed: a direct owner of cannabis licenses and operator of seed-to-sale operations, dedicated to the improvement of health and wellness
−Removed: through the use of cannabinoids and cannabis products.
−Removed: Company’s strategic plan consists of the acquisition of its cannabis-licensed clients who currently lease the Company’s
