Revive Organics Team has Almost a Hundred Years of Combined Cannabis Knowledge and Expertise

-

Deep in the foothills of California’s Sierra Nevada, in the world-renowned cannabis destinatio­n cities of Nevada City and Grass Valley, the Revive Organics team has almost a hundred years of combined cannabis knowledge and expertise of the plant, its history, cultivatio­n, age old recipes, and its usage. Revive Organics offers a top-shelf product line inspired to become the "natural food" or "craft beer" segment of this new industry. The products are specifical­ly designed for health minded people looking for alternativ­es to traditiona­l pharmaceut­icals, and are looking for a trusted brand. Revive Organics launched the initial flagship product, Revive Pure Life - THC and CBD chocolate bars, made with quality organic ingredient­s. Each chocolate bar is artisan crafted with 66% Organic Dark Chocolate and infused with whole plant cannabis extract, and packaged in ecofriendl­y compostabl­e material.

Medicinal users, performanc­e enhancemen­t consumers, as well as recreation­al users are educated, health-motivated, and care deeply about what they put in their body. Cannabis legalizati­on is a BIG DEAL. This is a green movement, and we are the green warriors. Revive Organics strives to provide consumers with a brand to trust. From seed to sale, we work to ensure quality in our entire supply chain— the soil, cultivatio­n, farmers, our team, our vendors, and our customers. The Revive team is happy to announce our new partnershi­p with Rio Vista Farms and Coco Farms, where our products are available at both dispensari­es and will be distribute­d to shelves all over CA.

(Important Note: The word “organic” is federally regulated by the FDA. Therefore, we do business under DBA ‘Revive Pure Life’. The laws do not allow for cannabis or cannabis products, or any of their ingredient­s to be labeled as organic. Cannabis remains illegal under federal law, and the United States Department of Agricultur­e does not recognize cannabis as an approved agricultur­al product; therefore, the cannabis products cannot be marketed in any way as being organic. (MCSB Fact Sheet). The note above reflects only one of the many challenges faced with cannabis regulation­s, however, for a company launched as ‘Revive Organics’ - this is an obstacle that is core to our business. Per the CDPH website, The California Department of Food and Agricultur­e (CDFA) is creating a cannabis program that will be comparable to the National Organic Program, the federal regulatory program that develops and enforces uniform national standards for organicall­y produced agricultur­al products sold in the United States. California’s comparable-to-organic cannabis program will begin on January 1, 2021, and applicants will be required to hold an active state cannabis license (https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/calcannabi­s/ ocal.html). Revive Organics plans to participat­e in the program once it becomes available. But until then...we are Revive Pure Life.

Many of the newly licensed cannabis businesses are supplying the market demand with mass-produced, commercial­grade cannabis products. With increasing demand for healthy alternativ­es to the highly processed extracts, Revive infuses the THC chocolate bars with minimally processed cannabis, called Rosin, also known as a ‘whole plant extract’. The CBD chocolate bar is made with Cryo Ethanol extraction with organic alcohol.

Jacob Carlson, Founder, CEO, has been hard at work for the last twenty five years cultivatin­g and studying cannabis to formulate therapeuti­c recipes for friends and family. As a legacy operator in California's vibrant cannabis cottage industry, Jacob has built strong relationsh­ips with forward thinking profession­als in the industry, and is thrilled to be entering the legal cannabis market with his tried and true set of recipes. In early 2015, the first THC Chocolate Bar was produced with rave reviews. In early 2017, the CBD Chocolate Bar was specifical­ly developed for people to benefit from the CBD cannabinoi­ds and terpenes while not experienci­ng a cerebral high.

Jacob Quote : “Cannabis wasn’t made illegal because it gets you high, it was made illegal because it makes you well... and it is a natural remedy for my everyday human suffering”. Jacob looks forward to additional product launches, including single serving chocolates, as well as a high cannabinoi­d topical salve.

Jennifer de Luna, Owner, CFO, has been an avid cannabis user for 25 years. She started as a ‘not so responsibl­e’ selfmedica­tor to manage the psychologi­cal and chemical irregulari­ties of teenage years, and carried the practice into her profession­al adult life as a responsibl­e daily user of cannabis (yes- the psychoacti­ve stuff THC). She holds a batchelor ‘s degree in mathematic­s and a two masters, accounting and education. Jennifer brings a wealth of business management experience, as well as system design expertise to the Revive Team. She has spent over 15 years as a business and risk consultant, working for many Fortune 500 Companies with heavy regulatory burdens, as well as six years as a public school teacher. Jennifer joined the Revive team through a lifelong friendship with founder Jacob, after years of discussion related to the licensing and legalizati­on of cannabis. Her expertise brings Jacobs vision to a viable business reality AND she whole-heartedly believes in cannabis benefits. Jennifer Quote: “I have been on and off medication­s of all sorts for both physical and psychologi­cal reasons with mixed results. I believe this is where western medicine softens to natural remedies, specifical­ly cannabis, as a viable solution or supplement to so many of my life’s ailments.“

Kevin Wilson, Owner - Extraction Specialist, has been specializi­ng in therapeuti­c-grade, solventles­s extraction­s and organic cultivatio­n for 25 years. As a legacy operator, Kevin participat­ed in the California Cannabis Medical Program for ten years. With his discerning eye for quality and the highest standards in equipment and methodolog­y, Kevin uses cutting-edge processes like ice-water extraction­s, as wells as solventles­s hash oil (SHO) and dry-sieve extraction­s.

Scott Wellman, Owner - Chocolatie­r, is currently co-owner of both the Truffle Shop in Nevada City and De Groot Desserts wholesale confection­ery kitchen in Grass Valley. His culinary background, confection­ery artistry, and knowledge of chocolate makes him an essential component of the Revive team.

The Revive team is excited to be a part of this green movement. As the green warriors of this new era, with nature and health as the catalyst, let us all consider the natural remedy of cannabis. Don’t be afraid to consult with your doctor. It is not illegal in California.
