Chemistree Acquires Ownership Stake in The Physician’s Choice CBD LLC

Chemistree Technology Inc. (CSE:CHM; OTCQB:CHMJF) (the “Company” or “Chemistree”), is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a funding agreement with The Physician’s Choice CBD LLC of Phoenix, Arizona.

The Physician’s Choice CBD (“PCCBD”) is dedicated to research, development, and utilization of the highest quality of hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) combined with well-studied and effective supplements specific to help regulate and support various symptoms. The integration of extensive physician clinical experience combined with exhaustive expertise in the cannabis industry has led to the creation of The Physician’s Choice CBD.

Established in 2018, PCCBD has already developed a suite of nine full spectrum CBD from Hemp products ranging from pain/inflammation management to sleep and wellness supplements. In it’s first quarter of sales ended January 2019, the company booked approximately $150,000 in sales. The products are available for purchase at www.pccbd.com and distributed through healthcare providers across the U.S. The Physicians Choice CBD offers complete wholesale programs as well as a referral program compensating healthcare providers on purchases from codes provided to their patients.

With over 15 years in private practice, Dr. Julian Grove, M.D. and Dr. Peter Kubitz, D.O., have experienced first-hand the difficulties and complex dilemmas in treating patients suffering from chronic pain.  From a medical management perspective, the treatment of pain is at a crossroads as for the last two decades, the intersection of various forms of pain medications and the prominent and real consequences of their use has created a globally recognized problem. The side effects, end-organ damage, and the potential for addiction and abuse are global concerns.  As providers treating patients with complex pain daily, the doctors offer patients a myriad of different treatments including physical therapy, interventional therapies (nerve blocks, spinal cord stimulation), and complementary treatments (chiropractic, naturopathic medicine, massage, acupuncture, psychological support).  Unfortunately, many times, this is not enough.

Dr. Grove stated, “Managing various pain syndromes with medications that do not exacerbate severe medical conditions and behavioral risk factors is an ongoing challenge for medical professionals. This has been a driving force in the development of a product line of cannabidiol products, aiding in the management of specific pain syndromes and improve a sense of well-being.”

Chemistree president Karl Kottmeier commented “This investment in The Physician’s Choice CBD is a great opportunity for Chemistree. Dr. Grove and Dr. Kubitz are board certified practicing physicians with training at Harvard and the Mayo Clinic, specializing in pain management. Their collective education and practical experience is industry-leading and their commitment to the health of their patients and to developing real solutions to pain management with cannabidiol-based supplements is truly inspiring. The investment we are making into PCCBD gives us exposure to an entirely new industry and we are excited to assist whereever we can to see PCCBD continue to grow its sales and product offerings into a multi-state success. I encourage everyone to visit www.pccbd.com to learn more about this great new company and their comprehensive and growing line of CBD supplements.”

Advisory
The Company wishes to inform shareholders that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in both Canada and the United States.

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 defence 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 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 Prospectus, the Company’s annual information form and other documents incorporated by reference therein and in the Company’s Form 2A listing statement filed with the CSE and available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
