• Cannabis space facing “critical moment” as consumers seek proven consistency
• Pac Roots partner, business model assists in commitment to deliver “predictable, reliable product”
• Pac Roots ideally positioned to preserve excellence of its elite strains while also introducing highest quality of new strains

The cannabis industry has reached a crossroads of sorts, according to a recent “New York Times” article, as the substance has become increasingly mainstream. While welcome, the popularity of cannabis presents a challenge that companies such as Pac Roots Cannabis (CSE: PACR) (OTCQB: PACRF) (FSE: 4XM) are eager to meet. “The cannabis business, then, has arrived at a critical moment,” states the article, which is aptly titled “Cannabis Scientists Are Chasing the Perfect High” (https://ibn.fm/WI0gC). “Now that pot has become something like a regular consumer product, customers are increasingly seeking the same ‘proven consistency’ they expect from potato chips and soap. “The financial stakes are clear,” the article continues. “Despite lingering prohibitions in 17 states, legal cannabis is already an $8 billion industry in the United States. Domestic sales of alcohol, humankind’s other favorite intoxicant, topped $200 billion last year. But to make cannabis as popular as booze requires solving that original problem: It’s hard to imagine millions of people becoming new recreational users without being able to promise them that the product they’re spending money on — the average purchase at INSA is around $90 — will give them the effect they want.” That quest for consistency and customization is one that Pac Roots is well equipped to pursue — and achieve. The Canadian company is committed to producing premium-quality strains and products by leveraging a genetics-focused approach. The company’s unique partnership with Phenome One, recognized as one of Canada’s largest live genetic libraries, allows Pac Roots to focus on selective breeding and preservation (https://ibn.fm/qsaxQ). As part of the partnership, PacRoots Cannabis has access to Phenome One’s proprietary database of more 350 unique, live cannabis strains, which have been carefully field tested and artificially selected over three decades of research. That key partnership, which enables Pac Roots to optimize the genetic makeup of its cannabis plants as well as develop unique strains featuring a variety of beneficial characteristics, established the company as a frontrunner in the search for what the “New York Times” called an elusive prize: “a predictable, reliable product.” With Phenome One in its corner, along with its existing infrastructure, equipment, and access to land as well as aligned brands, Pac Roots is ideally positioned to preserve the excellence of its elite strains while also introducing the highest quality of new strains. “Many strive to be the largest cannabis grower,” the company proclaims, “but we believe that the quality of the cannabis you consume is paramount. Customers are extremely educated and mindful about the foods and drinks they intake. The demand for premium products has never been higher, and Pac Roots is well-positioned to be a leader in the premium cannabis space.” Pac Roots Cannabis is a Canadian company dedicated to producing premium-quality strains and products by leveraging a genetics-focused approach. The company’s commitment to quality and excellence is evident in its mantra of “quality over quantity” (https://ibn.fm/LA8GB). The company is focused on elite genetic development and maximizes the quality of its offerings by keeping yields and profit margins high. The company also leverages key partnerships to ensure the superiority of its products. Those partnership include Phenome One, which has built one of the largest live genetic libraries in Canada with more than 350 live cultivars, and Rock Creek Farms and Speakeasy Cannabis Club, both which provide existing infrastructure, equipment and access to land.

• The number of gamers worldwide will reach 2.8 billion in 2021, up from 2.7 billion in 2020
• Of these 2.8 billion, 2.5 billion are playing games on their mobile devices
• Smartphones have driven online gaming into the mainstream

Mobius Interactive a private online gaming company launched in 2020, is targeting a broad range of gamers. Team Mobius has created and produced three new and diverse brands around the globe: Mobius.bet , Club Double , and Aragon Casino. Mobius Interactive is poised to go public later this year. With over forty years of industry experience, the team at Mobius Interactive knew exactly how to capitalize on the current gaming revolution. In 2020, the global gaming industry was worth $152.1 billion. A central aspect of the exponential rise of online gaming is smartphone technology. Over three billion people now have smartphones, with two-thirds of them playing mobile games regularly. With the popularity of smartphones, gaming is no longer about consoles and PCs only. What many once considered simply adolescent entertainment has skyrocketed into a multi-billion-dollar global industry over the past few years. As Nicholas de Freitas, VP Marketing and Product states: “Mobile gaming has a vastly diverse audience, comprised of all genders, ethnicities, cultures, and interests. It is available on a platform the user carries around everywhere nowadays – their smartphones.” In 2020, mobile gaming reached close to $80 billion in revenue, in contrast to PCs bringing in less than $37 million and consoles $45 million. Mobile insights firm App Annie estimates that mobile games will grow 20% in 2021. Newzoo forecasts that mobile gaming will generate $90.7 billion in 2021, growing 4.4% from a year ago.

From Day One, Mobius Interactive has operated with this diversity in mind. The Mobius Interactive brands, powered by the multiple award-winning UltraPlay platform, has embedded the ODDS.gg feed, the revolutionary Esports and sports betting product, offering pre-match and live market odds. They provide over 34 unique Esports games, all major sports betting games, including over 3,000+ casino and live casino games – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Aragon Casino brands itself along the lines of medieval and modern fantasy, mimicking elements of The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones. Club Double showcases a theme that combines classic old Hollywood, vintage Miami, and Las Vegas. The flagship brand – Mobius.bet – combines loyalty programs, targeted gamification, and product merchandising into one seamless package. As a top sponsor of the 2021 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers in Brazil, the Mobius.bet brand will be seen by up to 40 million people per game on Globo TV.

• Greenfield Energy, a joint venture between TomCo Energy and Valkor, has entered a non-exclusive multi-site license with Petroteq
• Under the agreement, the company will receive a 5% royalty of all net revenues for oil sands plants built by Greenfield with the Petroteq License
• The company’s patented and proprietary technology for heavy oil extraction is sustainable, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective

Petroteq Energy (TSX.V: PQE) (OTC: PQEFF) (FRANKFURT: PQCF), an oil company focused on developing and implementing its proprietary oil extraction and reclamation technologies, has announced that 250 barrels of oil produced at the company’s oil sands plant at Asphalt Ridge (Utah) was gauged and tagged by a buyer. The produced oil was tested at 10.9° API with low basic sediment and water (BS&W) of 0.3% (https://ibn.fm/NZwTv). The company also announced that Greenfield Energy LLC has entered a non-exclusive multi-site license with Petroteq, which has been granted considering the advanced funding Greenfield has provided regarding upgrading the oil sands plant at Asphalt Ridge. For future oil sands plants built by Greenfield using the Petroteq License, a 5% royalty of net revenues for all revenues received from produced oil sands at any said oil plant will be payable from Greenfield to Petroteq. Greenfield is a 50/50 joint venture between TomCo Energy plc (AIM: TOM) and Valkor LLC. Greenfield has entered into a membership interest purchase agreement with Endeavour Capital Group LLC and Tar Sands Holdings II (“TSHII”) LLC, respective to the potential acquisition of up to 100% of ownership and membership rights and interests in TSHII, which owns approximately 760 acres of land and certain non-producing assets in Uintah County, Utah. “We are encouraged by what could become Greenfield’s first step towards securing a site and mine to support a commercial plant employing Petroteq’s Clean Oil Recovery Technology,” George Stapleton, the COO of Petroteq, commented. Petroteq’s proprietary technology for the extraction and reclamation of heavy oil and bitumen from oil sands and mineable oil deposits is sustainable and environmentally safe. The company’s patented application is a closed-loop, solvent-based process resulting in significantly lower per-barrel production costs than what is incurred by traditional hot water-based oil sands extraction technologies. The company’s green technology utilizes a small, modular footprint, producing no greenhouse gases, does not require high temperatures, leaves only clean dry sand, and could be deployed to unlock heavy oil deposits worldwide. The company has removed the unwanted externalities from producing oil, which is seen in other oil sands operations, fracking, and even conventional wells. Petroteq is using a form of remediation for oil-bearing near-surface sands, which are cleaned to comply with EPA Tier 1 quality before being returned, leaving the area of extraction cleaner than it was prior. For years, the industry’s approach to oil extraction has been fracking, a drilling technology used for extracting oil, natural gas, geothermal energy, and water from deep underground. Petroteq’s technology is the next big step towards energy independence and tapping into a new source for heavy oil extraction. For more information, visit the company’s website at www.Petroteq.com.

• Sugarmade Inc. aims to expand its end-market access as a central player in the growing California cannabis delivery marketplace while developing its in-house cannabis production capacity to verticalize operations in the space
• The company has made key cannabis industry investments in NUG Avenue and BudCars
• On May 17, 2021, Sugarmade announced its entry into a definitive agreement for its acquisition of Lemon Glow Company Inc
• The Lemon Glow acquisition includes 640 acres of property, 32 of which have already been designated for outdoor cannabis cultivation
• California’s legal market hit $4.4 billion in sales in 2020, up from $2.8 billion in 2019

Sugarmade (OTC: SGMD) is a product and brand marketing company investing in operations and technologies with disruptive potential. The company is focused on collaborating with real people in real-time to identify the emerging desires and behaviors poised to unlock new opportunities and pathways for growth. Sugarmade seeks to redefine the marketplace by nurturing an innovative and compelling relationship between brand, botany and business – resulting in both undeniable consumer value and an intriguing cross-pollination of revenue sources. The company’s core strategic plan is centered on expanding its end-market access as a central player in the growing California cannabis delivery marketplace while developing its in-house cannabis production capacity to verticalize operations in the space. Through a combination of organic growth and strategic acquisitions, Sugarmade intends to develop a full farm-to-door vertically integrated cannabis business. Brand Portfolio Sugarmade has investments in a number of subsidiaries with active operations in the California cannabis sector. These include:

• NUG Avenue – Sugarmade owns a 70% stake in NUG Avenue, a cannabis delivery service based in Southern California providing hand-selected top-shelf products from Stiiizy, Kanha, PlugPlay and more.
• BudCars – Sugarmade is an investor in cannabis delivery service of BudCars’ first operating location in Sacramento, California. BudCars is an online-shopping experience designed to provide new customers with an easy way to discover and order cannabis products within minutes.

Acquisition of Lemon Glow Company On May 17, 2021, Sugarmade took a major step toward closing the loop on what its management team believes to be one of the most promising vertically integrated cannabis models in the thriving California market when it announced the signing of a definitive agreement for its acquisition of Lemon Glow Company Inc. The Lemon Glow acquisition includes 640 acres of property, 32 of which have already been designated for outdoor cannabis cultivation. Per the company’s news release, the annual potential cultivation yield at the property is estimated to be approximately 4,000 pounds of dry trimmed cannabis flower per acre per year, which represents approximately 128,000 pounds, or 64 tons, of dry trimmed cannabis flower per year in total. Notably, Sugarmade also benefits from the acquisition in terms of team capital, as Lemon Glow executive team members will stay on and become the core management team at the cannabis cultivation site, granting the operation over 30 years of cannabis cultivation experience. “The Lemon Glow team are tremendous additions to the Sugarmade team,” Jimmy Chan, CEO of Sugarmade, commented in announcing the definitive agreement. “They have vast experience and established skills, as well as intricate knowledge of the property and its local grow context. That’s an enormous added value proposition in this deal. We look forward to bringing them on board, ramping up operations at the property, and taking key steps toward delivering on the promise of Sugarmade’s farm-to-door vision.” Market Opportunity The California cannabis industry has continued to record tremendous growth since voters approved a measure to legalize recreational use of the plant in 2016. According to data from MJBizDaily, California’s legal market hit $4.4 billion in sales in 2020, up from $2.8 billion in 2019 and $1.4 billion in 2018. Those figures highlight California’s status as the largest legal cannabis market in the world. With roughly 28 million residents over the age of 21, California is more than twice the combined size of the four states (Arizona, New Jersey, Montana and North Dakota) that legalized cannabis in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic was a key driver in the growth of cannabis delivery services throughout the state in 2020. One California cannabis delivery firm reported a 60% increase in new delivery customer sign-ups in the 30 days following the March 13, 2020, declaration of a national emergency. As a result of this boom, tech companies in cannabis ecommerce were able to dramatically increase their market share. Sugarmade’s continued efforts to develop a farm-to-door vertically integrated cannabis business position it to capitalize on these trends as the California cannabis industry continues to expand moving forward. Management Jimmy Chan is the CEO of Sugarmade. He is an experienced business executive instrumental in growing multiple business operations with a strong expertise in international trade and banking, international manufacturing and importation. He is also the founder of CarryOutSupplies.com, a company that revolutionized the custom-printed paper supplies subsector of the quick service restaurant industry, which merged with Sugarmade in 2014.

• Infobird is committed to digitally transforming businesses and whole industries by offering robust customer engagement solutions that embody the crucial aspects of digital transformation
• These aspects, enumerated by Deloitte China, include: digital, analytics, cloud, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance
• Two retail companies have selected IFBD’s solutions in less than a month
• The collaboration with Zu Li Jian has set up a new path for the digital transformation of retail companies

Evolving customer expectations and business needs have fueled a digital transformation in China, marked by the integration of cloud computing and artificial intelligence (“AI”) into companies’ operations. “To survive in this new world, businesses must learn to observe, think, and operate differently,” reads Deloitte China’s webpage about digital transformation (https://ibn.fm/nPTXa). “Digital transformation, the cross-disciplinary power comprising digital, analytics, cloud, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance, is about embracing digital disruption and unlocking exponential value.” Interestingly, Infobird Software (NASDAQ: IFBD), a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) company offering AI-enabled end-to-end customer engagement solutions in China, has packaged the aspects of digital transformation mentioned above, i.e., cloud computing, analytics, cybersecurity, and digital, into its robust proprietary solutions and is using them to help companies around China adapt to the changing times and transform digitally. IFBD’s customer engagement solutions, which integrate the needs of both the customers and the businesses into a single platform, stimulate companies’ market performance and growth and enable them to improve their infrastructure. The platform uses big data and AI to analyze data from multiple channels and subsequently create portraits representing each user, plus their expectations and needs. The platform’s capabilities enable companies to understand their customers more comprehensively and accurately, creating a foundation for precision marketing in e-commerce and physical stores. It is no wonder that IFBD is increasingly witnessing success within the retail industry. A company that leveraged its experience in the finance industry to enter other industries and, as a result, grow its standardized SaaS platform, Infobird has already worked with a leading Chinese multinational technology company specializing in e-commerce and retail. Notably, IFBD appears to be experiencing even more success within this sector. Just recently, Zu Li Jian, the leading shoe company for the elderly in China, selected IFBD’s solutions (https://ibn.fm/WMzM8) less than a month after SaSa Cosmetics (China) Co. Ltd. (https://ibn.fm/8qJXV) entered into a similar cooperative agreement with IFBD. Per both agreements, IFBD’s solutions are intended to digitally improve and optimize the retail companies’ marketing, management, and customer service. The partnership between IFBD and Zu Li Jian, in particular, has set up a new path for the digital transformation of retail companies. This aligns with IFBD’s commitment to continually contribute to the development of more industries and companies. Further, the cooperation promotes the deployment of AI-based SaaS within the retail sector. Infobird, which is keen on capturing the Chinese SaaS market share, is increasingly making strides towards attaining this target, all while digitally transforming companies within the retail industry, as well as other industries.

Lexaria Bioscience (NASDAQ: LEXX) (CSE: LXX) is a global innovator in drug delivery platforms. The company’s patented technology, DehydraTECH(TM), improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients (“APIs”) enter the bloodstream by promoting healthier oral ingestion methods and increasing the effectiveness of fat-soluble active molecules. DehydraTECH promotes fast-acting, less expensive and more effective oral drug delivery and has been thoroughly evaluated through in vivo, in vitro and human clinical testing. DehydraTECH is covered by 19 issued and more than 50 pending patents in over 40 countries around the world. Lexaria’s first patent was issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in October 2016 (US 9,474,725 B1), providing 20 years of patent protection expiring June 2034. Multiple patents have been awarded since then and are expected in the future. Lexaria has a collaborative research agreement with the National Research Council (“NRC”), the Canadian government’s premier research and technology organization. The company has filed for patent protection for specific delivery of nicotine, vitamins, NSAIDs, testosterone, estrogen, cannabinoids, terpenes, PDE5 inhibitors (with brand names like Viagra), tobacco and more. Lexaria began developing DehydraTECH in 2014 and has since continued to strengthen and broaden the technology. The company has no plans to create or sell Lexaria-branded products containing controlled substances. Instead, Lexaria licenses its technology to other companies around the world to offer consumers the best possible performance across an array of ingestible product formats. The company’s technology is best thought of as an additional layer that providers of consumer supplements, prescription and non-prescription drugs, nicotine and CBD products can utilize to improve the effectiveness of their own existing or planned new offerings. Lexaria has licensed DehydraTECH to multiple companies, including a world-leading tobacco producer for the research and development of smokeless, oral-based nicotine products, and for use in industries that produce cannabinoid beverages, edibles and oral products. DehydraTECH is suitable for use with a wide range of product formats including pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, consumer packaged goods and over-the-counter capsules, pills, tablets and oral suspensions. DehydraTECH Technology Lexaria’s DehydraTECH is designed specifically for formulating and delivering lipophilic (fat-soluble) drugs and active ingredients. DehydraTECH increases their effectiveness and improves the way active pharmaceutical ingredients enter the bloodstream. The major benefits to a subject ingesting a DehydraTECH-enabled drug or consumer product can be summarized by the following:

• Speeds up delivery – the effects of the product are felt by the subject in just minutes
• Increases bioavailability – the technology is much more effective at delivering a drug or product into the bloodstream
• Increases brain absorption – animal testing suggests significant improvement in the quantity of drug delivered across the blood-brain barrier
• Improves drug potency – more of the ingested product is made available to the body, so lower doses are required to achieve the desired effect
• Reduces drug administration cost – lower doses mean lower overall drug costs
• Masks unwanted taste – the technology eliminates or reduces the need for sweeteners

Lexaria has demonstrated in animal studies a propensity for DehydraTECH technology to elevate the quantity of drug delivered across the blood-brain barrier by as much as 1,900 percent, initiating additional new patent applications and opening possibilities for improved drug delivery. Since 2016, DehydraTECH has repeatedly demonstrated, with cannabinoids and nicotine, the ability to increase bio-absorption by up to five to 10 times, reduce time of onset from one to two hours to just minutes, and mask unwanted tastes. The technology is to be further evaluated for additional orally administered bioactive molecules, including antivirals, cannabinoids, vitamins, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and nicotine. Market Outlook Lexaria’s ongoing research and development efforts are mainly focused on development of product candidates across several key segments:

• Oral Cannabinoids – a market estimated to be worth $18.4 billion in 2021 and expected to reach $46.2 billion by 2025.
• Antivirals – an estimated $52.1 billion market in 2021 that’s expected to grow to $66.7 billion by 2025.
• Oral Mucosal Nicotine – smokeless tobacco products, a $13.6 billion market in 2018, is forecast to grow at 7.2 percent annually through 2025.
• Human Hormones – estrogen and testosterone replacement therapies represented a $21.9 billion market in 2019, with a forecast CAGR of 7.7 percent through 2027.
• Ibuprofen and Naproxen – NSAID sales totaled $15.6 billion globally in 2019 and are projected to reach $24.4 billion by 2027.
• Vitamin D3 – the global market size was $1.1 billion in 2021, growing at 7 percent per year and expected to reach $1.7 billion in 2026.
