WEED INC

As a smaller reporting company we are not required to provide a statement of risk factors. However, we believe this information may be valuable to our shareholders. We reserve the right to not provide risk factors in our future filings. Our primary risk factors and other considerations include:

You should consider, among other factors, our prospects for success in light of the risks and uncertainties encountered by companies that, like us, are in their early stages of development. We may not successfully address these risks and uncertainties or successfully complete our studies and/or implement our existing and new products. If we fail to do so, it could materially harm our business and impair the value of our common stock. Even if we accomplish these objectives, we may not generate the positive cash flows or profits we anticipate in the future. We were incorporated in the State of Arizona on August 20, 1999. From 2005 until 2015, we were an exploration stage mineral exploration company that owned a number of unpatented mining claims and Arizona State Land Department claims. On November 26, 2014, our Board of Directors approved the redomestication of our company from Arizona to Nevada and we shifted our business focus to a company concentrating on the development and application of cannabis-derived compounds for the treatment of human disease. Although (i) on November 22, 2021, we completed our acquisition of the Sugar Hill Golf course property for possible use in a planned entry into the hemp and infused beverage market, and (ii) our subsidiary, Sangre, has begun its planned five-year Cannabis Genomic Study to complete a global genomic classification of the Cannabis plant genus, we need substantial funding to enter the hemp and infused beverage industry and for the completion of the Cannabis Genomic Study both of which are likely years away. Unanticipated problems, expenses and delays are frequently encountered in establishing a new business, conducting research, and developing new products. These include, but are not limited to, inadequate funding, unforeseen research issues, lack of consumer acceptance, competition, product development, and inadequate sales and marketing. The failure by us to meet any of these conditions would have a materially adverse effect upon us and may force us to reduce or curtail operations. No assurance can be given that we can or will ever operate profitably.

We may not be able to meet our future capital needs.

To date, we have not generated any revenue and we have limited cash liquidity and capital resources. Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success of our planned entry into the hemp and infused beverage market, the progress and results of our Cannabis Genomic Study, our ability to develop products, cash flow from operations, and competing market developments. We anticipate the Cannabis Genomic Study will cost approximately $15,000,000 to complete, and that we will need approximately $5,000,000 to enter into the planned entry into the hemp and infused beverage market. We will also need additional working capital in the near future. Any equity financings will result in dilution to our then-existing stockholders. Although we currently do not have any debt financing, any sources of debt financing in the future may result in a high interest expense. Any financing, if available, may be on unfavorable terms. If adequate funds are not obtained, we will be required to reduce or curtail operations.

If we cannot obtain additional funding, our research and development efforts may be reduced or discontinued and we may not be able to continue operations.

We have historically experienced negative cash flows from operations since our inception and we expect the negative cash flows from operations to continue for the foreseeable future. Unless and until we are able to generate revenues, we expect such losses to continue for the foreseeable future. As discussed in our financial statements, there exists substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

Research and development efforts are highly dependent on the amount of cash and cash equivalents on hand combined with our ability to raise additional capital to support our future operations through one or more methods, including but not limited to, issuing additional equity or debt.

In addition, we may also raise additional capital through additional equity offerings and licensing our research and/or future products in development. While we will continue to explore these potential opportunities, there can be no assurances that we will be successful in raising sufficient capital on terms acceptable to us, or at all, or that we will be successful in licensing our future products. Based on our current projections, we believe we have insufficient cash on hand to meet our obligations as they become due based on current assumptions. The uncertainties surrounding our future cash inflows have raised substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern.

One of our current projects is our 5-year cannabis genomic study being conducted by Sangre. In the event that we are unable to complete that study for any reason, such as inability to complete our human clinical trials, or if those trials are not successful, then it could significantly impact our business.

Although we have plans to be a company with a multitude of business segments, one of our first forays into medical cannabis research is the 5-year cannabis genomic study being conducted by Sangre. In the event that we are unable to complete the 5-year study for any reason, such as the inability to complete our planned human clinical trials in phases 2 and 3 of the study, or if those trials are not successful, then it could significantly impact our business.

Our research plan, which is focused on the development and application of cannabis-derived compounds for the treatment of human disease, and includes our 5-year cannabis genomic study being conducted by Sangre, is dependent upon our ability to complete the necessary research and clinical human trials.

Our research plan, which is focused on the development and application of cannabis-derived compounds for the treatment of human disease, and includes our 5-year cannabis genomic study being conducted by Sangre, is dependent upon our ability to complete the necessary research and clinical human trials. In the event that we are unable to complete those research and/or human clinical trials, or if those trials are not successful, then it could significantly, negatively impact all phases of our research plan and significantly impact our business.

Current economic conditions and capital markets are in a period of disruption and instability which could adversely affect our ability to access the capital markets, and thus adversely affect our business and liquidity.

The current economic conditions largely caused by the coronavirus pandemic have had, and likely will continue to have for the foreseeable future, a negative impact on our ability to access the capital markets, and thus have a negative impact on our business and liquidity. Based on a variety of factors, there may be an extended worldwide recession. We may face significant challenges if conditions in the capital markets do not improve. Our ability to access the capital markets has been and continues to be severely restricted at a time when we need to access such markets, which could have a negative impact on our business plans. Even if we are able to raise capital, it may not be at a price or on terms that are favorable to us. We cannot predict the occurrence of future disruptions or how long the current conditions may continue.

Our proposed business is dependent on laws pertaining to the cannabis industry**.**

Continued development of the cannabis industry is dependent upon continued legislative authorization of marijuana at the state level. Any number of factors could slow or halt progress in this area. Further, progress for the industry, while encouraging, is not assured. While there may be ample public support for legislative action, numerous factors impact the legislative process. Any one of these factors could slow or halt use of marijuana, which would negatively impact our business.

As of February 2024, 39 states and the District of Columbia allow its citizens to use medical marijuana, and 21 states have legalized cannabis for adult recreational use. The state laws are in conflict with the Federal Controlled Substances Act, which makes cannabis use and possession illegal on a national level. Prior administrations (namely, President Obama) effectively stated that it is not an efficient use of resources to direct law federal law enforcement agencies to prosecute those lawfully abiding by state-designated laws allowing the use and distribution of medical marijuana. The current administration (Biden administration) has not yet indicated how it might regulate the marijuana industry at the federal level, but to date there has been very little in terms of action. There is no guarantee that the Biden administration or future administrations will maintain the low-priority enforcement of federal laws in the marijuana industry that was adopted by the Obama administration. Any new administration that follows could change this policy and decide to enforce the federal laws strongly. Any such change in the federal government’s enforcement of current federal laws could cause significant financial damage to our business and our shareholders.

Further, and while we do not intend to harvest, distribute or sell cannabis, if we conduct research with the cannabis plant or lease buildings to growers of cannabis, etc., we could be deemed to be participating in cannabis cultivation, which remains illegal under federal law, and exposes us to potential criminal liability, with the additional risk that our properties could be subject to civil forfeiture proceedings.

The cannabis industry faces strong opposition**.**

It is believed by many that large well-funded businesses may have a strong economic opposition to the cannabis industry. We believe that the pharmaceutical industry clearly does not want to cede control of any product that could generate significant revenue. For example, medical cannabis will likely adversely impact the existing market for the current “marijuana pill” sold by mainstream pharmaceutical companies. Further, the medical cannabis industry could face a material threat from the pharmaceutical industry, should cannabis displace other drugs or encroach upon the pharmaceutical industry’s products. The pharmaceutical industry is well funded with a strong and experienced lobby that eclipses the funding of the medical cannabis movement. Any inroads the pharmaceutical industry could make in halting or impeding the cannabis industry could have a detrimental impact on our proposed business.

Cannabis remains illegal under Federal law**.**

Cannabis is a schedule-I controlled substance and is illegal under federal law. Even in those states in which the use of cannabis has been legalized, its production and use remains a violation of federal law. Since federal law criminalizing the use of cannabis preempts state laws that legalize its use, strict enforcement of federal law regarding cannabis would likely result in our inability to proceed with our business plan.

Laws and regulations affecting the medical cannabis industry are constantly changing, which could detrimentally affect our proposed operations.

Local, state and federal medical cannabis laws and regulations are broad in scope and subject to evolving interpretations, which could require us to incur substantial costs associated with compliance or alter our business plan. In addition, violations of these laws, or allegations of such violations, could disrupt our business and result in a material adverse effect on our operations. In addition, it is possible that regulations may be enacted in the future that will be directly applicable to our proposed business. We cannot predict the nature of any future laws, regulations, interpretations or applications, nor can we determine what effect additional governmental regulations or administrative policies and procedures, when and if promulgated, could have on our business.

If we are unable to recruit and retain qualified personnel, our business could be harmed.

Our growth and success highly depend on qualified personnel. Competition in the industry could cause us difficulty in recruiting or retaining a sufficient number of qualified technical personnel, which could harm our ability to develop new products. Also, the fact cannabis remains illegal at the federal level may dissuade qualified personnel from working in the cannabis industry, thus limiting the pool of qualified individuals to run our business. If we are unable to attract and retain necessary key talents, it would harm our ability to develop competitive product and retain good customers and could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We may be unable to adequately protect our proprietary rights.

Our ability to compete partly depends on the superiority, uniqueness and value of our intellectual property. To protect our proprietary rights, we will rely on a combination of patent, copyright and trade secret laws, confidentiality agreements with our employees and third parties, and protective contractual provisions. Despite these efforts, any of the following occurrences may reduce the value of our intellectual property:

We may become involved in lawsuits to protect or enforce our patents that would be expensive and time consuming.

In order to protect or enforce our patent rights, we may initiate patent or trademark litigation against third parties. In addition, we may become subject to interference or opposition proceedings conducted in patent and trademark offices to determine the priority and patentability of inventions. The defense of intellectual property rights, including patent rights through lawsuits, interference or opposition proceedings, and other legal and administrative proceedings, would be costly and divert our technical and management personnel from their normal responsibilities. An adverse determination of any litigation or defense proceedings could put our pending patent applications at risk of not being issued.

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential information could be compromised by disclosure during this type of litigation. For example, during the course of this kind of litigation, confidential information may be inadvertently disclosed in the form of documents or testimony in connection with discovery requests, depositions or trial testimony. This disclosure could have a material adverse effect on our business and our financial results.

We may be involved in litigation at some in the future.

In the ordinary course of business, we are from time to time involved in various pending or threatened legal actions. The litigation process is inherently uncertain and it is possible that the resolution of such matters might have a material adverse effect upon our financial condition and/or results of operations. Litigation is also expensive and could cause us to spend substantial sums on legal fees even if we are eventually successful in the litigation.

We have several opportunities that we may not be able to take advantage of or close without substantial funding.

As detailed elsewhere in this Annual Report we have several business opportunities that we either cannot continue or cannot begin without raising substantial funds either in this Offering or through other sources. Notably, we have closed on the golf course property in New York and we have an opportunity to enter the hemp and infused beverage market since the property has water extraction rights. However, like our other business opportunities we will need to raise substantial funds to execute on these business plans.

Our common stock has been thinly traded and we cannot predict the extent to which a trading market will develop.

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Markets’ “OTCQB” tier. Our common stock is thinly traded compared to larger more widely known companies. Thinly traded common stock can be more volatile than common stock trading in an active public market. We cannot predict the extent to which an active public market for our common stock will develop or be sustained after this Offering.

Our common stock is traded on the OTC Markets’ “OTCQB” tier. Broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in “penny stocks” are regulated by certain penny stock rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Penny stocks, like shares of our common stock, generally are equity securities with a price of less than $5.00, other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on NASDAQ. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from the rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document that provides information about penny stocks and the nature and level of risks in the penny stock market. The broker-dealer also must provide the customer with current bid and offer quotations for the penny stock, the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction, and, if the broker-dealer is the sole market maker, the broker-dealer must disclose this fact and the broker-dealer’s presumed control over the market, and monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer’s account. In addition, broker-dealers who sell these securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser’s written agreement to the transaction. Consequently, these requirements may have the effect of reducing the level of trading activity, if any, in the secondary market for a security subject to the penny stock rules, and investors in our common stock may find it difficult to sell their shares.
