The company is nationally headquartered in Trinity County of Northern California’s Emerald Triangle.</p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:19px">ACP is focused on three complementary business segments: real estate, acquisition & development of proprietary assets, and ongoing cultivation operations. Led by a seasoned management team with 30+ years of canna-business experience, ACP’s strategy is to capture opportunities in real estate and licensing in states that have recently passed cannabis legalization legislation, thereby equipping the company to capitalize on Federal interstate commerce opportunities.</p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:19px">Through its current cultivation operations, ACP supplies approximately 80% of its whole flower products for manufacturing, distribution and retail licenses. With the remaining 20%, the company supplies its proprietary strains to select California distributors and its own Michigan retail location under its exclusive in-house brand, ZÜK.</p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:19px"><strong>History of American Cannabis Partners</strong></p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:19px">In 2014, Stephen Jordan, President of ACP, took on the Director of Operations position for a U.S.-based company operating in the Jamaican cannabis space. Over the course of his three-year tenure in this role, Jordan developed a number of relationships that would help serve as the basis of American Cannabis Partners.</p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:19px">One such relationship was with Junior Gordon, a cultivation lead grower from Jamaica’s Westmoreland Parish. Jordan immediately saw the value of Gordon’s unique skillset and credentials, and Gordon recognized Jordan’s heartfelt vision of bringing Jamaican culture to the rapidly developing U.S. cannabis space.</p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:19px">Guided by that mission, ACP’s unchanging goal is to improve the lives of individuals through cannabis and business.</p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:19px"><strong>Current Operations</strong></p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:19px">Since its founding in 2018, privately-owned American Cannabis Partners has established a foothold in two key U.S. cannabis markets – California and Michigan. In total, the company has acquired 12 cannabis licenses, including 20,000 sq. ft. of cultivation licenses in California and 540,000 sq. ft. of cultivation licenses & one retail license in Michigan.</p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:19px">ACP’s IP portfolio features three proprietary strains sold exclusively through the company’s wholly owned ZÜK brand, as well as proprietary data collection and mining systems supporting its cultivation and retail operations.</p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:19px"><strong>Plans for Expansion</strong></p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif; font-size:13px; line-height:19px">American Cannabis Partners is pursuing additional growth in the cannabis sector through multiple planned initiatives.

The use of the agency’s National Incident-Based Reporting System was meant to offer clear and nationally representative data on crime trends in the country. However, the new data doesn’t give complete information, especially concerning drug arrests across America during the past year.<br> <br> If anything, the end result for last year’s data raises questions for individuals tracking trends on drug enforcement, which include cannabis-related arrests. The FBI’s fragmented data on the criminalization of drugs still shows that marijuana is the main driver of the war on drugs, with cannabis and hashish making up nearly one-half of all drug-related seizures.<br> <br> This is a huge gap, even if one considers that the federal agency’s Uniform Crime Reporting program has historically been limited by the fact that not all state and local law enforcement agencies consistently report their individual data or even submit it. For instance, as of April 2022, only 19 states had fully transitioned to the use of the reporting system, with 31 others having transitioned partially.</p> <p style="color:#565656; font-family:'Roboto',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;
