data technologies for the cannabis industry, is pleased to announce that it has signed a Collaboration Agreement (the "Agreement")
with the Foundation of Cannabis Unified Standards ("FOCUS") to establish legal cannabis programs in emerging markets and increase

Foundation of Cannabis Unified Standards (FOCUS) was established in 2014 as the Cannabis Health and Safety Organization in an
effort to protect public health, consumer safety, and safeguard the environment. FOCUS is a global non-profit, with international

internationally accepted cannabis standards developed by FOCUS, align with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) guidelines

GCAC is developing the Citizen Green Community, a trusted source for medical cannabis knowledge, for patients, regulators and
cannabis companies. The Citizen Green token economy will enable GCAC to reward users and organizations for sharing their medical
data, experience and procedures. The Citizen Green platform is based on technologies such as blockchain and artificial
intelligence, to give users ownership over their data in a secure environment that ensures the integrity of the information.
"This agreement will enable FOCUS and GCAC to leverage each others' relationships and expertise to serve global cannabis
markets," said Lezli Engelking, Founder and Executive Chair of FOCUS. "We look forward to helping GCAC collect patient efficacy
data, to further our mission of protecting public health and consumer safety in the cannabis industry."

developing regulations for the global cannabis industry," said Brad Moore, CEO of GCAC. "GCAC and FOCUS are aligned in improving
health, safety and patient outcomes in the cannabis industry."
