Nevada update 

All ground preparation and construction grading is complete at the site. We have altered the plans to accommodate our advanced vertical growing technology and as a result we have experienced some permitting delays. All permits are now ready to go, and construction will be expedited.

In the interim the Company has brought two modular buildings onsite which will be modified to meet Nevada State requirements for cultivation and processing. Upon Nevada State approval, the Company will be positioned to apply for recreational licensing, within the time frame of the new schedule as brought forward by the State of Nevada (July 2017). "We would like to thank the mayor of North Las Vegas, John Lee, and Nevada state officials for their assistance in helping us move our project forward. We invite shareholders to visit the construction site when in Las Vegas." Linda Sampson CEO.
