ABOUT AMERICAN CANNABIS COMPANY, INC.

ACC has now assisted clients in winning multiple licenses throughout North America, demonstrating its deep understanding of the sector and how to comply with state regulations. The company has designed over a million square feet of industry facilities and completed state-of-the-art indoor and greenhouse build-outs in multiple states. In addition to the United States, ACC is active internationally in both its cannabis consulting and product divisions. The company has assisted companies with securing operational approvals from Health Canada.

WHOWEARE

Having experience as former owners and operators of a regulated cannabis business, the foundation was set for American Cannabis Consulting (now American Cannabis Company Inc.) as well as for the development and design of an industry tailored product suite. Through a culmination of efforts, ACC established the Geoponics Methodology of cultivation which promotes genetic optimization of the cannabis plant.

STAGES TO SUCCESSFUL CANNABIS BUSINESS

The merit-based application process has become the preferred model for most states adopting medical, adult use and/or low-THC cannabis programs. ACC’s cannabis consulting division has assisted clients in securing operational licenses in numerous states as well as assisted Canadian firms with completing Health Canada approvals. ACC has even earned the highest application scores in multiple states. Our approach is informed with the deep experience of continued success in the merit-based state medical marijuana application processes and our track record of successfully establishing new compliant operations in emerging markets. The “fit” or “composition” of a team is a major component of winning, and ACC carefully selects its clients based on calculated success criteria. We know what it takes and have the formula to replicate it.

GEOPONICSWhether you operate a vertically integrated or stand-alone cannabis business, the challenges are unique and complex. ACC’s solution suite allows you to focus on growing your business by reducing operational challenges and pitfalls.

USING GEOPONICS TO ACHIEVE GENETIC OPTIMIZATION OF THE CANNABIS PLANT

Our Co-Founder and Chief Development Officer Ellis Smith began using True Living Organics (TLO) and lean manufacturing principals to optimize cannabis production at their Medical Cannabis Center (MMC/Dispensary) in Boulder, Colorado. The hybrid of agricultural and manufacturing processes presented numerous challenges and opportunities. Since its creation, ACC has focused on adopting best practices and technologies from existing industry sectors while developing proprietary solutions where gaps exist. The outcome of these efforts is our Geoponics Methodology which was developed with the goal of optimizing the genetic potential of the Cannabis plant through soil-based cultivation.

To achieve genetic optimization, our methodology provides the plant with a full buffet of macro/micro nutrients in the soil and 24/7 water availability. With our Geoponics Methodology your plants feed and drink when they want. Not only does this promote optimization, it eliminates stress variables while enabling one to produce a medicinal grade end-product at a reduced cost. We have simplified the process so you are no longer reliant on staff to maintain quality output. Complex nutrient management and hand watering are eliminated from the workflow. SoHum Living Soils® bring your plants from clone to harvest without the need for any additives. All amendments in our mix are all natural. A successful cannabis operation begins with quality outputs that will pass stringent state consumer testing requirements.

“GEOPONICS IS THE ART AND SCIENCE OF AGRICULTURE IN SOIL”
