EXPLANATORY NOTE


This Amendment No. 1 to Form 10-K (this “Amendment”) amends the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017 (“Fiscal 2017”) of General Cannabis Corp (the “Company”), as originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2018 (the “Original Form 10-K”).


This Amendment No. 1 amends the Original Form 10-K. The sole purpose of this Amendment is to file the Hall & Company “Consent of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm” which was inadvertently omitted from our Original Form 10-K. No other changes have been made to the Original Form 10-K as previously filed.


In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, updated certifications of the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are included as exhibits hereto.


Except as described above, this Amendment does not amend, update or change the consolidated financial statements, consents or any other items or disclosures contained in the Original Form 10-K and does not otherwise reflect events occurring after the original filing date of the Original Form 10-K. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Form 10-K and the Company’s other filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the Original Form 10-K.
