DENVER, May 06, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- General Cannabis Corp (OTCQX: CANN), a company with extensive experience in providing services to the cannabis industry, announced today that Boulder County has approved the transfer of ownership of SevenFive Farm to General Cannabis.  This is an important part of the state regulated change of control process; General Cannabis will now work with the Colorado Marijuana Enforcement Division to establish a date for the formal change of ownership, which the Company anticipates will occur within the next two weeks.
