Beleave's Statement on Historic Day for Cannabis in Canada

TORONTO, Oct. 17, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - Beleave Inc. (CSE: BE) (OTCQX: BLEVF) ("Beleave" or the "Company") would like to recognize the steadfastness, bravery, and leadership of the Canadian government, as well as other pioneers in the community who have worked tirelessly for years, to bring this day to pass.

Starting today, for the first time in almost a century, cannabis will be legal for adult recreational use in Canada as we become the first G7 country to remove laws restricting its use. History will record this as a breakthrough for personal freedom and reaffirm Canada's global position as a compassionate and progressive nation to live and work.

Over the last year, the Company has made a series of announcements, acquisitions, and investments to prepare for the anticipated increased demand in the Canadian and International marketplaces. Some highlights include:

• May 10, 2018: Beleave acquires Medi-Green, a leading network of medical cannabis clinics with existing and additional planned locations across Ontario and Quebec, becoming more closely involved in the patient experience.
  
  
• June 21, 2018: Beleave acquires 51% of Procannmed S.A.S., a privately held company that is fully licensed for the cultivation, production, extraction and distribution of THC and CBD medical cannabis in Colombia.
  
  
• July 19, 2018: Beleave acquires Seven Oaks as its recreational brand, which has a proven track record of working collaboratively to secure wholesale and distribution agreements with retailers across Canada, in pursuance of its recreational distribution and sales strategy.
  
  
• September 6, 2018: Beleave announces plans to acquire 250,000 square feet of greenhouse space and 85 acres of land in London, Ontario to cultivate and harvest cannabis for distribution and sale in Canada.
  
  
• September 20, 2018: Beleave enters into partnership with Kannavis Biotech Corp. to invest, build, and operate 867,000 square feet of indoor growing space in British Columbia.

"It's a new day in the Canadian cannabis industry, and a new chapter in Beleave's story," said Andrew Wnek, Beleave CEO. "We are launching recreational sales today in three provinces; British Columbia, Manitoba, and Ontario. We are well prepared for the future and anticipate many exciting updates to share with our clients and stakeholders in the coming months as we expand into five additional provinces early next year."
