Vancouver, British Columbia, October 7th, 2019 – Chemistree Technology Inc. (CSE: CHM and CHM.wt) (US OTCQB: CHMJF) (the “Company” or “Chemistree”), announces that the proposed investment into The Physician’s Choice CBD (“PCCBD”) of Phoenix, Arizona, as previously announced in April 2019, has been terminated.
Chemistree president Karl Kottmeier commented: “I am disappointed to report that after many months of meetings, discussions and attempts to manage an increasingly frustrating process, Chemistree has decided that the proposed $1 million investment into what we believed was a compelling and unique company, cannot be made. While scientifically excellent, our due diligence identified significant issues with PCCBD management. We ultimately determined that we could not arrive at a go forward plan, nor a definitive agreement and accordingly the proposed arrangement has been terminated, with no funds having been forwarded.”

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.
