Chemistree is now underway with establishing the Sugarleaf brand in California
| VANCOUVER, Dec. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Chemistree Technology Inc. (Canadian Securities Exchange: CHM) (US OTCQB: CHMJF) (the “Company” or “Chemistree”) is pleased to announce that it has now entered into an agreement with Sugarleaf Farms to acquire the global brand and marketing rights to the Sugarleaf brand (outside of Washington State). Chemistree is now underway with establishing the Sugarleaf brand in California, initially via the strategic collaboration recently launched with the Humboldt County-based cannabis processing company (see press release dated November 27, 2018). The Company is currently focused on product development, biomass sourcing and sales and marketing planning as well as adding key people to the new Chemistree California team. Demand for cannabis in California is increasing rapidly and having a recognizable brand that can drive consumer loyalty will benefit the Company in what is a challenging retail environment. Karl Kottmeier, Chemistree’s President, commented “I am really pleased to make this announcement. This is a significant advancement for Chemistree’s growth plans and I am grateful to our tremendous team of advisors in California who are helping us access a market that is expected to exceed $5.1 billion next year. Sugarleaf is a high quality, flower-based product line in Washington state and now, working closely with our new processor partner in Humboldt, we will be able to develop and produce Sugarleaf manufactured products as well as flower products in the world’s sixth largest economy – the massive California market.” For more information on the Sugarleaf brand and related products, please visit www.sugarleaf.com. About Chemistree Technology Inc. Advisory Cannabis-related Practices or Activities are Illegal Under U.S. Federal Laws The concepts of “medical cannabis” and “recreational cannabis” do not exist under U.S. federal law. The Federal Controlled Substances Act classifies “marihuana” as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. As such, cannabis related practices or activities, including without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis are illegal under U.S. federal law. Strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve the Company of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defense to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. Enforcement of U.S. federal laws will be a significant risk to the business of the Company following the completion of the acquisitions, and any such proceedings brought against the Company may adversely affect the Company’s operations and financial performance. Further information regarding the legal status of cannabis related activities and associated risk factors, including, but not limited to, risk of enforcement actions, risks that third-party service providers, such as banking or financial institutions cease providing services to the Company, and the risk that Company may not be able to distribute profits, if any, from U.S. operations up to the Company, are included in the Form 2A listing statement filed with the CSE and the Company’s annual information form available under its profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. “Karl Kottmeier” Neither the Canadian Securities Exchange nor its Market Regulator (as that term is defined in the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange) accepts responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.
