Hello Friend,
CHEMISTREE COMPLETES REVIEW AND AMENDMENT OF INVESTMENT POLICY
Vancouver, British Columbia, October 30th, 2020– Chemistree Technology Inc. (CSE: CHM and CHM.wt) (US OTCQB: CHMJF) (the "Company" or "Chemistree") has completed the internal review of its investment policy as announced April 9, 2020. Chemistree's board of directors has amended the Company's investment policy (the "Investment Policy") to broaden the investment mandate to include potential opportunities in the cannabis sector plus additional opportunities unrelated to the cannabis sector.
Prior to broadening the mandate, the Company's investment objectives were to seek opportunities in the cannabis sector, initially in the U.S. Pacific Northwest and California and potentially other jurisdictions where cannabis-related activities are permitted, and to achieve an acceptable rate of return by focusing on opportunities with attractive risk to reward profiles. In order to deploy the remaining investment capital with a more diversified approach, the amended Investment Policy includes, but is not limited to, other opportunities in the cannabis, health care, technology, biotechnology, medical technology or related consumer products fields. Investments by the Company are to be made in accordance with and are otherwise subject to the Investment Policy, which may be amended from time to time at the sole discretion of the Company without shareholder approval, unless required by applicable laws or CSE policies.
"Our amended Investment Policy is robust and provides the Company with additional flexibility in light of volatile market and economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which the Company expects to persist for an uncertain period of time. The new mandate will allow us to be more opportunistic in these difficult economic times", commented Chemistree's President Karl Kottmeier.
A copy of the amended Investment Policy will be posted on the Company's SEDAR profile.

Advisory
The Company wishes to inform shareholders that there are significant legal restrictions and regulations that govern the cannabis industry in both Canada and the United States.
Cannabis-related Practices or Activities are Illegal Under U.S. Federal Laws
The concepts of "medical cannabis" and "recreational cannabis" do not exist under U.S. federal law. The Federal Controlled Substances Act classifies "marihuana" as a Schedule I drug. Under U.S. federal law, a Schedule I drug or substance has a high potential for abuse, no accepted medical use in the United States, and a lack of safety for the use of the drug under medical supervision. As such, cannabis related practices or activities, including without limitation, the manufacture, importation, possession, use or distribution of cannabis are illegal under U.S. federal law. Strict compliance with state laws with respect to cannabis will neither absolve the Company of liability under U.S. federal law, nor will it provide a defence to any federal proceeding which may be brought against the Company. Enforcement of U.S. federal laws will be a significant risk to the business of the Company and any such proceedings brought against the Company may adversely affect the Company's operations and financial performance.
Further information regarding the legal status of cannabis related activities and associated risk factors, including, but not limited to, risk of enforcement actions, risks that third-party service providers, such as banking or financial institutions cease providing services to the Company, and the risk that Company may not be able to distribute profits, if any, from U.S. operations up to the Company, are included in the Prospectus, the Company's annual information form and other documents incorporated by reference therein and in the Company's Form 2A listing statement filed with the CSE and available under the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
