These records number in the neighborhood of 80,000 user experiences. The form of license agreement shall be as mutually agreed upon between ITech and RPI.

 

As this database grows at THC Finder, THC Finder will from time to time give the most recent transactions to the CaimCodex Sub.

Exhibit B

Business Plan

 

CannCodex was created to accumulate, manage, analyze and resell the data that is now being developed in the Cannabis industry. The data is coming from lab testing of the thousands of products, strains, and batches of THC and CBD products offered in the medicinal marijuana industry. Further data is being created across forums, apps and websites.

 

The purpose of the database is to codify and store the data that is being created and warehouse it in a structure that meets the standards of the scientific and medical community.

 

Currently the data that is being created is being held as trade secret - CannCodex will explore working with the established organizations in the industry to standardize testing methods - to facilitate the matching of products and batches with the user experience.

 

CannCodex intends to receive and re-package information about testing, strains and benefits of products in the THC space.

 

The first project is to license a database of research in the Cannabis industry and will bring a rigorous scientific process to a growing industry and field of exploration.

 

This database includes usage patterns and experience from thousands of patients that have been exploring the use of cannabis for a variety of ailments. CannCodex intends intend to add scientific; process and rigor to this legacy data as well as partner with analytical labs around the world to register and track the components of all of the strains of cannabis that have medicinal merit.

 

This data will be used to ensure that end users are receiving the products that are ideal for their condition, as well as to support the clinical process in the medical community that will be required for any defensible scientific research. RPI will also be creating products and services for the manufacturers and growers that need the ability to ensure authenticity of their products as they move into the market.

 

The initial contribution of THC Finder's user database will provide the foundation of the research -and it will grow from there.

 

Additionally, CannCodex will provide advisory services to Medicinal Cannabis product producers allowing them to understand the complexities and process of the Clinical product licensing process. CannCodex will utilize the combined resources of THC Finder, CannCodex and Rich Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
