Cannabis Science (CBIS) Purchases Two Parcels of Cannabis Production Land from Apothecary Genetics, a Combined Total of 51 Acres; Licenses Land, Cultivation, and Formulation Usage in Major Growth Plan in California

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Nov. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- In a move that signals a forceful reinvestment in the largest legal medical cannabis market, Cannabis Science, Inc. (CBIS), a U.S. company specializing in global cannabis formulation-based drug development and consulting, has successfully renegotiated its agreement with Apothecary Genetics Investments LLC to purchase and license two northern California production farms with a combined total of 51 acres. The purchase includes all related equipment for cannabis cultivation and production for the state's substantial medical cannabis market.

"With Apothecary Genetics, our state licensed and regulated partner, Cannabis Science is now able to proceed with licensing our California assets and our formulations for the development of the full spectrum of medical cannabis operations and products," said Mr. Raymond C. Dabney, Director, President & CEO and Co-Founder of Cannabis Science Inc.  "Cannabis Science will now own 100% of all the assets previously held and accumulated from our previous deal with Apothecary and all newly-derived assets from this agreement."

As a consequence, Cannabis Science is entitled to substantial licensing fees and royalties, rights to assign assets and fees to affiliates and subsidiaries, and ownership of all tangible assets such as land, facilities and equipment as well as new business ventures pursuant to the agreement.  Cannabis Science, in turn, will provide Apothecary Genetics with quarterly working capital to develop and expand operations, including the provision of research and development facilities.

"This is exciting news for the long-term benefit of patients, as the Company not only will be able to enter into opt-in programs for the evaluation of our proprietary formulations but also will be able to promote advanced medical cannabis R & D," said Mr. Dabney.  "And now Cannabis Science will harness the strength of 100% of all the previous and accumulated assets to make a real difference."

The Company will inform the public as each step of its new blueprint for California is realized.
