Altitude Organic Positioned for Expansion as Cannabis Industry Grows to 18 States and Washington DC

PHOENIX, Nov. 20, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Altitude Organic Corp, a subsidiary of Tranzbyte Corporation (ERBB:OTC:PK), is poised to capture expanded market share as Massachusetts has become the eighteenth state to legalize medical marijuana. 

According to Tranzbyte president, David Gwyther, "The time is NOW for Altitude Organic and Tranzbyte. The company does not anticipate or contemplate any type of reverse split or rollback of its common shares in order to accommodate the anticipated Altitude Organic expansion or the Tranzbyte dividend farming model involving future acquisitions and spin-offs."

Beginning operations in Colorado in 2009, Altitude Organics has navigated numerous legal hurdles as the industry's nascent regulations have continued to fluctuate. In 2011, the Altitude Organic San Diego, California licensed dispensary shut down after city officials voted to remove hundreds of legal businesses from within the city limits. Despite unforeseeable regulatory changes at times, Altitude Organic Corp is still standing as only publicly-traded company of its kind to have operated in California, Colorado, and now in Arizona garnering experience in multiple jurisdictions under different cultivating climates.

The legal commercial business is so new, that prior existing technologies and systems will be rendered obsolete as a more commercial approach to the industry is adopted.  Our company plans to implement commercial advancements at its existing licensed store locations in Colorado, while expanding and aligning with premier operators nationally. Altitude Organic seeks to manage dispensaries, caregivers, and infused products production in non-profit medical marijuana states such as Arizona, while it seeks outright purchase of retail acquisitions in "for-profit" states like Colorado. Our licensed store model will continue to exist with the two stores in Colorado. All future partnerships will be through management company alliances or acquisition, as capital and opportunities becomes more readily available. Altitude Organic Corporation's first priority for 2013 will be to enhance our company's revenue dramatically.

AO's Managing Director Brian Cook stated, "We have accumulated tremendous knowledge working in the legal marijuana industry over the last three and half years which I believe will put our company in the unique position to find the right partnerships moving forward. This, in turn, will enhance revenue and build our brand recognition in the new industry. Our recently announced managed caregiver model in Arizona will help us "seed" the managed dispensary partners with whom we seek to ally.  Despite the different operating rules between states, our proven adaptability and early lead in operations experience, should help us gain market share and set us apart from the pack, as this multi-billion dollar industry continues to grow."
