Stock influences and risk factors

Continuing efforts to legalize cannabis across North America could be a catalyst for the company shares.

Marijuana remains illegal under federal law. It is a Schedule I controlled substance. Even in those jurisdictions in which the use of medical marijuana has been legalized at the state level, its prescription is a violation of federal law.

Their clients may have difficulty accessing the service of banks, which may make it difficult for them to purchase our products and services.

Demand and market acceptance for their licensed branded new cannabis infused products are subject to a high level of uncertainty.
