CSE FORM 2A LISTING STATEMENT in Connection with the Listing Of CSE FORM 2A LISTING STATEMENT In connection with the listing of MJardin Group, Inc., the entity formed upon the reverse take-over of Sumtra Diversified Inc. by MJAR Holdings Corp. November 13, 2018 MJardin Group, Inc. currently derives substantially all of its current revenues from the cannabis industry in certain states of the United States, which industry is illegal under United States federal law. MJardin Group, Inc. is directly involved (through licensed parties with whom it contracts) in the cannabis industry in the United States where local state laws permit such activities. Currently, its customers are directly, and MJardin Group, Inc. is indirectly through the services provided to such clients, engaged in the manufacture, possession, use, sale or distribution of cannabis in the legal and regulated recreational and/or medicinal cannabis marketplace in the States of Colorado and Nevada. The United States federal government regulates drugs through the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. § 811), which places controlled substances, including cannabis, in a schedule. Cannabis is classified as a Schedule I drug. Under United States 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 accepted safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. The United States Food and Drug Administration has not approved cannabis as a safe and effective drug for any indication. In the United States, cannabis is largely regulated at the state level. State laws regulating cannabis are in direct conflict with the federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession federally illegal. Although certain states authorize medical or recreational cannabis production and distribution by licensed or registered entities, under U.S. federal law, the possession, use, cultivation, and transfer of cannabis and any related drug paraphernalia is illegal and any such acts are criminal acts under federal law. The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution establishes that the United States Constitution and the federal laws made pursuant to it are paramount and in case of conflict between federal and state law, the federal law shall apply. On January 4, 2018, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions issued a memorandum to U.S. district attorneys which rescinded previous guidance from the U.S. Department of Justice specific to cannabis enforcement in the United States, including the Cole Memorandum (as defined herein). With the Cole Memorandum rescinded, U.S. federal prosecutors have been given discretion in determining whether to prosecute cannabis related violations of U.S. federal law. U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions resigned on November 7, 2018. As of his resignation, Matthew Whitaker is the acting U.S. Attorney General. It is unclear what impact this development will have on U.S. federal government enforcement policy There is no guarantee that state laws legalizing and regulating the sale and use of cannabis will not be repealed or overturned, or that local governmental authorities will not limit the applicability of state laws within their respective jurisdictions. Unless and until the United States Congress amends the Controlled Substances Act with respect to medical and/or adult-use cannabis (and as to the timing or scope of any such potential amendments there can be no assurance), there is a risk that federal authorities may enforce current federal law. If the federal government begins to enforce federal laws relating to cannabis in states where the sale and use of cannabis is currently legal, or if existing applicable state laws are repealed or curtailed, MJardin Group, Inc.’s business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects would be materially adversely affected. See Section 17 of this Listing Statement – Risk Factors for additional information on this risk. In light of the political and regulatory uncertainty surrounding the treatment of U.S. cannabis-related activities, including the rescission of the Cole Memorandum discussed above, on February 8, 2018 the Canadian Securities Administrators published a staff notice (Staff Notice 51-352) setting out the Canadian Securities Administrator’s disclosure expectations for specific risks facing issuers with cannabis-related activities in the United States. Staff Notice 51-352 confirms that a disclosure-based approach remains appropriate for issuers with U.S. cannabis- related activities. Staff Notice 51-352 includes additional disclosure expectations that apply to all issuers with U.S. cannabis related activities, including those with direct and indirect involvement in the cultivation and distribution of cannabis, as well as issuers that provide goods and services to third parties involved in the U.S. cannabis industry. Please see Trends, Commitments, Events or Uncertainties in Section 3.3 for further information on the material facts, risks and uncertainties related to U.S. issuers with marijuana-related activities.

  • Using the 3I+E Framework to Assess Provincial Policy Decisions for the Sale of Cannabis in Ontario, Saskatchewan and Quebec
    Health Policy and Practice Original Research https://doi.org/10.33137/utjph.v2i1.34726 USING THE 3I+E FRAMEWORK TO ASSESS PROVINCIAL POLICY DECISIONS FOR THE SALE OF CANNABIS IN ONTARIO, SASKATCHEWAN AND QUEBEC Ravinder Sandhu1, Guneet Saini1 and Elizabeth Alvarez1 1Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence and Impact, McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada Corresponding author: Ravinder Sandhu, [email protected] Abstract Objective: This paper examines policy decisions regarding public or private retail models chosen for the recreational use of cannabis in the provinces of Ontario, Saskatchewan and Quebec to demonstrate the application of the 3I+E framework for policy analysis. Methods: The 3I+E framework includes considerations of institutions, interests, ideas and external factors that play a role in adopting a particular policy. A retrospective comparative approach using this framework was conducted. Relevant newspaper articles, press releases, consultation reports and primary policy papers were reviewed. Results: The province of Ontario has a mixed model for the sale of recreational cannabis, while Saskatchewan’s recreational cannabis is fully private and retail in Quebec is through the public sector. Government institutions, particularly the party in power and the number of seats they hold, as well as existing policy legacies for alcohol retail, appeared to strongly influence the policy decisions in all three jurisdictions. Interest groups, including municipal and labor unions and private cannabis com- panies had a limited role in swaying government decisions toward a particular model. Beliefs and values of citizens regarding cannabis retail did not appear to play a significant role. In Ontario particularly, an external factor, namely a major political shift towards a conservative government had a large role in the mixed model chosen in the jurisdiction.

  • Black Market to Blue Chip the Futures of the Cannabis Industry in Canada
    Black Market to Blue Chip The Futures of the Cannabis Industry in Canada By Calla Lee Submitted to OCAD University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Design in Strategic Foresight and Innovation Toronto, Ontario, Canada, April, 2018 © Calla Lee, 2018 Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this MRP. This is a true copy of the MRP, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I authorize OCAD University to lend this MRP to other institutions or individu- als for the purpose of scholarly research. I understand that my MRP may be made electronically available to the public. I further authorize OCAD University to reproduce this MRP by photocopying or by other means, in total or in part, at the request of other institutions or individuals for the purpose of scholarly research. Calla Lee ii Abstract The world is changing its mind on cannabis, and we are not in the same world we were in 1923 when Can- ada first made marijuana illegal to smoke. Culture, technology, knowledge, and people have changed. We have a lot more research, seen first-hand how cannabis can help and hurt people, and heard other’s similar and different stories. How do we apply what we’ve learned about strategy, business, and design to turn a prohibition policy into a regulatory framework? Legalization of cannabis in Canada has been delayed to after August, if all things go smoothly and there are no ad- ditional setbacks. Legalization creates a unique opportunity for Canada to become a global leader in innovation, policy, research, and regulation.
