Indulge Oils has been servicing the cannabis market for 2 years and has quickly become a leader in the industry. Their premium oil is in such high demand in the cannabis oil market that it has been sought out by some of the largest names in the cannabis industry for private labeling. Cannabis Consortium will use Indulge to manufacture a steady supply of premium oil to infuse with its edibles. Indulge Oils is a premium "pesticide free" product sought after brand as it is known for its purity and high quality.

Infused Edibles
Infused Edibles, www.infusededibles.org, currently has 140 food items it infuses with US grown CBD Isolate. This is believed to be the largest amount of products produced by a single infused producer, winning over 17 first place awards. Infused Edibles started out as a small, family run candy company in 2012 operating out of a 400 square foot space. Infused Edibles now operates out of a 6,000 square foot building, servicing 400 stores with 9 sales reps and 8 distributors in 15 states.

CO Hemp Farm
Cannabis Consortium partnered with Green Matter Holdings, LLC and moved forward with the 15-acre industrial hemp farm test. The partners have hired a local company to supply the farmer with 24,640 industrial hemp clones at the cost of $5.00 per clone in 3 different strains to be planted on the test site. The farmer is responsible for planting, caring and harvesting the crops. The partners will pay the farmer a total of $100,000. The local company was retained as a consultant to help oversee the planting, growing, and harvesting of the industrial hemp. The harvest will begin next week, then will be hung in the new barn to dry and sold in November. Industrial hemp yields about 2,700 pound per acre that is sold as bio-mass for around $49 per pound. An option being explored is to partner with a lab to process the bio-mass which would increase the net per acre from $100,000 to over $200,000 per acre.
Additional updates on new products and acquisitions will follow, the Company is currently working on a new website as well to launch with the approved name and ticker change.
Cannabis Consortium, in compliance with SEC regulations, may in the future use social media outlets like Facebook or Twitter and its own website to announce key information in compliance with Reg FD.
