to their vast experience in the field of cannabis. Ellis Smith and
his team have years of industry knowledge throughout the US, which

ranging from business development, licensing strategies,
cultivation, extraction to facility design. I am excited to execute
the plan developed by Ellis and work hand in hand with his team,"

third state in 2022 and three more in 2023. Also, KORcannabis is
growing its clinical research division, which focuses on the
development of targeted cannabis therapies and drug delivery
devices.

Cannabis Remains an Illegal Schedule 1 Drug Under Federal
Law
Thirty-five states, including Colorado, the District of Columbia
and four U.S. Territories currently have laws broadly legalizing
cannabis in some form for either medicinal and/or recreational use
governed by state specific laws and regulations. Although legalized
in some states, cannabis is a "Schedule 1" drug under the
Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811) ("CSA") and is illegal
under federal law. Cannabis and its derivatives are viewed as being
highly addictive and having no medical value. The United States
Drug Enforcement Agency enforces the Controlled Substances Act, and
persons violating it are subject to federal criminal
prosecution.
As a result of the November 2020 federal elections, and the
election of Joseph R. Biden as president, it is expected that the
federal government will move to amend parts of the CSA and
de-schedule cannabis as a Schedule 1 drug.
In late January 2021, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said
lawmakers are in the process of merging various cannabis bills,
including his own legalization legislation. He is working to enact
reform in this Congressional session. This would include the
Marijuana Freedom and Opportunity Act, which would federally
de-schedule cannabis, reinvest tax revenue into communities most
affected by the drug war, and fund efforts to expunge prior
cannabis records. It is likely that the Marijuana Opportunity,
Reinvestment, and Expungement (MORE) Act would be incorporated.
Other federal legislation under review for possible submission
includes the SAFE Banking Act (or Secure and Fair Enforcement Act),
a bill that would allow cannabis companies to access the
federally-insured banking system and capital markets without the
risk of federal enforcement action, and the Strengthening the Tenth
Amendment
Through Entrusting States Act (or STATES Act), a bill that seeks
protections for businesses and individuals in states that have
legalized and comply with state laws).
Notably with respect to our business, on November 1, 2019,
Colorado Bill HB-19-1090, was passed and made effective. This law
allows publicly traded corporations to apply for and qualify for
the ownership of Colorado cannabis licenses. Other states that have
legalized cannabis for recreational and/or medicinal use restrict
public companies from owning interests in state cannabis licenses
altogether, or have enacted regulations which make it difficult for
corporations to comply with application requirements, including all
shareholders submitting to and passing background checks.
On September 18, 2020, Colorado's Marijuana Enforcement Division
(MED), approved the Company's application for suitability,
establishing the Company as one of the few publicly traded
companies authorized to acquire and operate various cannabis
licenses throughout Colorado, in both the recreational and medical
markets.
