−Removed: providing internal guidance to federal prosecutors concerning enforcement of federal cannabis prohibitions under the CSA.
−Removed: guidance essentially characterized use of federal law enforcement resources to prosecute those complying with state laws allowing
−Removed: the use, manufacture and distribution of cannabis as an inefficient use of such federal resources when state laws and enforcement
−Removed: efforts are effective with respect to specific federal enforcement priorities under the CSA.
−Removed: January 4, 2018, then-U.S.
−Removed: Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a written memorandum rescinding the Cole Memo and related internal
−Removed: guidance issued by the DOJ regarding federal law enforcement priorities involving marijuana (the “Sessions Memo”).
−Removed: The Sessions Memo instructs federal prosecutors that when determining which marijuana-related activities to prosecute under federal
−Removed: law with the DOJ’s finite resources, prosecutors should follow the well-established principles set forth in the U.S.
−Removed: Attorneys’
−Removed: Manual governing all federal prosecutions.
−Removed: The Sessions Memo states that “these principles require federal prosecutors deciding
−Removed: which cases to prosecute to weigh all relevant considerations, including federal law enforcement priorities set by the Attorney
−Removed: General, the seriousness of the crime, the deterrent effect of criminal prosecution, and the cumulative impact of particular crimes
−Removed: on the community.”
−Removed: The Sessions Memo went on to state that given the DOJ’s well-established general principles, “previous
−Removed: nationwide guidance specific to marijuana is unnecessary and is rescinded, effective immediately.”
−Removed: is unclear at this time what impact the Sessions Memo will have on the regulated cannabis and marijuana industry.
−Removed: pursuant to the current omnibus spending bill previously approved by Congress, the DOJ was prohibited from using funds appropriated
−Removed: by Congress to prevent states from implementing their medical-use cannabis laws.
−Removed: This provision, however, will expire on September
−Removed: There is no assurance that Congress will approve inclusion of a similar prohibition on DOJ spending in the appropriations
−Removed: bill for future years .
−Removed: Although we are not engaged in the purchase, sale, growth, cultivation, harvesting, or processing of medical-use
−Removed: marijuana products, we lease our properties to tenants who engage in such activities, and therefore strict enforcement of federal
−Removed: prohibitions regarding marijuana could irreparably harm our business, subject us to criminal prosecution and/or adversely affect

+Added: Supreme Court has ruled that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, even for
+Added: medical purposes.
+Added: Therefore, federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana preempts state laws that legalize its use for medicinal
+Added: federal government regulates drugs through the CSA, which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule.
+Added: Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance.
+Added: A Schedule I controlled substance is defined as a substance
+Added: that has no currently accepted medical use in the United States, a lack of safety for use under medical supervision and a high
+Added: potential for abuse.
+Added: The DOJ defines Schedule I drugs, substances or chemicals as “drugs with no currently accepted medical
+Added: use and a high potential for abuse.”
+Added: However, the FDA has approved Epidiolex, which contains a purified form of the drug
+Added: CBD, a non-psychoactive ingredient in the cannabis plant, for the treatment of seizures associated with two epilepsy
+Added: The FDA has not approved cannabis or cannabis compounds as a safe and effective drug for any other condition.
+Added: pursuant to the Farm Bill, CBD remains a Schedule I controlled substance under the CSA, with a narrow exception for CBD derived
+Added: from hemp with a THC concentration of less than 0.3%.
+Added: Company maintains its operations so as to remain in compliance with the CSA.
+Added: Even in those jurisdictions in which the manufacture
+Added: and use of medical marijuana has been legalized at the state level, the possession, use and cultivation all remain violations
+Added: of federal law that are punishable by imprisonment and substantial fines, and the prescription of marijuana is a violation of
+Added: Moreover, individuals and entities may violate federal law if they intentionally aid and abet another in violating
+Added: these federal controlled substance laws, or conspire with another to violate them.
+Added: inconsistencies between federal and state regulation of cannabis were addressed in the Cole Memo, which then-Deputy Attorney General
+Added: James Cole sent to all U.S.
+Added: District Attorneys in 2013 outlining certain priorities for the DOJ relating to the prosecution of
+Added: cannabis offenses.
+Added: The Cole Memo acknowledged that, notwithstanding the designation of cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance
+Added: at the federal level, several states had enacted laws authorizing the use of cannabis for medical purposes.
+Added: The Cole Memo noted
+Added: that jurisdictions that have enacted laws legalizing cannabis in some form have also implemented strong and effective regulatory
+Added: and enforcement systems to control the cultivation, processing, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis.
+Added: As such, conduct
+Added: in compliance with those laws and regulations is less likely to implicate the Cole Memo’s enforcement priorities.
+Added: did not provide (and has not provided since) specific guidelines for what regulatory and enforcement systems would be deemed sufficient
+Added: under the Cole Memo.
+Added: In light of limited investigative and prosecutorial resources, the Cole Memo concluded that the DOJ should
+Added: be focused on addressing only the most significant threats related to cannabis, such as distribution of cannabis from states where
+Added: cannabis is legal to those where cannabis is illegal, the diversion of cannabis revenues to illicit drug cartels and sales of
+Added: cannabis to minors.
+Added: January 4, 2018, former U.S.
+Added: Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued the Sessions Memo, which rescinded the Cole Memo.
+Added: Sessions Memo stated, in part, that current law reflects “Congress’
+Added: determination that cannabis is a dangerous drug
+Added: and cannabis activity is a serious crime,”
+Added: Sessions directed all U.S.
+Added: Attorneys to enforce the laws enacted
+Added: by Congress by following well-established principles when pursuing prosecutions related to cannabis activities.
+Added: The Company is
+Added: not aware of any prosecutions of investment companies doing routine business with licensed marijuana related businesses in light
+Added: of the DOJ position following issuance of the Sessions Memo.
+Added: However, there can be no assurance that the federal government will
+Added: not enforce federal laws relating to cannabis in the future.
+Added: As a result of the Sessions Memo, federal prosecutors are now free
+Added: to utilize their prosecutorial discretion to decide whether to prosecute cannabis activities, despite the existence of state-level
+Added: laws that may be inconsistent with federal prohibitions.
+Added: No direction was given to federal prosecutors in the Sessions Memo as
+Added: to the priority they should ascribe to such cannabis activities, and thus it is uncertain how active U.S.
+Added: federal prosecutors
+Added: will be in relation to such activities.
+Added: prosecutors appear to continue to use the Cole Memo’s priorities as an enforcement guide.
+Added: Merrick Garland, who became Attorney
+Added: General on March 10, 2021 has indicated that he would deprioritize enforcement of low-level cannabis crimes such
+Added: as possession, and has shared his view that the government should focus on large-scale criminal enterprises that circumvent state
+Added: legalization laws instead of going after people who abide by local cannabis policies.
+Added: The Company believes it is too soon to determine
+Added: what prosecutorial effects will be created by the rescission of the Cole Memo or any replacement thereof and when or if the Sessions
+Added: Memo will be rescinded.
+Added: President Joseph R.
+Added: Biden, who assumed office in January 2021, has not yet indicated whether and when
+Added: he will decriminalize or legalize cannabis and has previously stated that he is opposed to legalization.
+Added: The sheer size of the
+Added: cannabis industry, in addition to participation by state and local governments and investors, suggests that a large-scale federal
+Added: enforcement operation would more than likely create unwanted political backlash for the DOJ and the current administration.
+Added: is also possible that the change of Congressional leadership in January 2021 could change the priorities of Congress and encourage
+Added: reconciliation of federal and state laws.
+Added: Regardless, at this time, cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance at
+Added: the federal level.
+Added: federal government has always reserved the right to enforce federal law in regard to the sale and
+Added: disbursement of medical or adult use cannabis, even if state law authorizes such sale and disbursement.
+Added: It is unclear whether
+Added: the risk of enforcement has been altered.
+Added: legislative safeguard for the medical cannabis industry, appended to the federal budget bill, remains in place following the rescission
+Added: of the Cole Memo.
+Added: For fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018, Congress adopted the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment to prevent
+Added: the federal government from using congressionally appropriated funds to enforce federal cannabis laws against regulated medical
+Added: cannabis actors operating in compliance with state and local law.
+Added: The Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment was included in the fiscal
+Added: year 2018 budget passed on March 23, 2018.
+Added: The Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment was included in the consolidated appropriations
+Added: bill signed into legislation by former President Trump in February 2019.
+Added: In signing the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment, former
+Added: President Trump issued a signing statement noting that the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment “provides that the Department
+Added: of Justice may not use any funds to prevent implementation of medical marijuana laws by various States and territories,”
+Added: and further stating “I will treat this provision consistent with the President’s constitutional responsibility to
+Added: faithfully execute the laws of the United States.”
+Added: On June 20, 2019, the House approved a broader amendment that, in
+Added: addition to protecting state medical cannabis programs, would also protect state adult use programs.
+Added: On September 26, 2019,
+Added: the Senate Appropriations Committee declined to take up the broader amendment but did approve the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment
+Added: for the fiscal year 2020 spending bill.
+Added: On September 27, 2019, the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment was renewed as part of
+Added: a stopgap spending bill, in effect through November 21, 2019, and was then renewed through a series of stopgap spending bills
+Added: passed in 2020.
+Added: On December 27, 2020, the amendment was renewed through the signing of the fiscal year 2021 omnibus spending
+Added: bill, effective through September 30, 2021.
+Added: Despite the rescission of the Cole Memo, the DOJ appears to continue to adhere
+Added: to the enforcement priorities set forth in the Cole Memo.
+Added: Cole Memo and the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment gave licensed cannabis operators (particularly medical cannabis operators)
+Added: and investors in states with legal regimes greater certainty regarding the DOJ’s enforcement priorities and the risk of
+Added: operating cannabis businesses.
+Added: While the Sessions Memo has introduced some uncertainty regarding federal enforcement, the cannabis
+Added: industry continues to experience growth in legal medical and adult use markets across the United States.
+Added: Vice President Kamala
+Added: Harris is the lead sponsor of the Marijuana Opportunity, Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act, which seeks to end the federal
+Added: prohibition of marijuana, among other things, but in March 2020, it was reported that Vice President Harris has adopted the same
+Added: position as President Biden, who opposes legalization.
+Added: Currently, there is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating
+Added: the sale and use of cannabis will remain in place or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state
+Added: laws within their respective jurisdictions.
+Added: Unless and until the U.S.
+Added: Congress amends the CSA with respect to cannabis (and as
+Added: to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a risk that federal authorities may
+Added: enforce current U.S.
+Added: federal law criminalizing cannabis.
+Added: Supreme Court has ruled that it is the federal government that has the right to regulate and criminalize cannabis, and
+Added: federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana preempts state laws that legalize its use, cannabis is largely regulated at the
+Added: laws that permit and regulate the production, distribution and use of cannabis for adult use or medical purposes are in direct

+Added: are criminal acts under federal law under any and all circumstances under the CSA.
+Added: Although the Company’s activities are
