United Cannabis Corp. is a cannabis production company that specializes in producing cannabis with varying levels of THC and CBD.

FoxBarry Cos. LLC signed a licensing agreement with United Cannabis Corp.agreeing to fund $30 million towards facility development in exchange for exclusive distribution rights for United Cannabis Products across California. The licensing agreement calls for $200,000 in prepaid royalties to United Cannabis Corp. as well as 15% of the proceeds.

The products will be developed at tribal facilities and then shipped to and sold atlicensed medical cannabis dispensaries in California, meaning if you live in California, Native American-grown cannabis is coming soon to a dispensary near you!
