A court-appointed monitor of Trees Corporation, which operates a chain of 10 cannabis stores in BC and Ontario, is conducting a sale and investment solicitation process for the cannabis company.
FTI Consulting Canada Inc. is undertaking the process on behalf of Trees Corporation, Ontario Cannabis Holdings Corp., Miraculo Inc., 2707461 Ontario Ltd., OCH Ontario Consulting Corp., and 11819496 Canada Inc. (collectively, “Trees” or the “Companies”) in the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA), R.S.C. 1985, c. C-36, as amended.
In December 2023, Trees announced that it and its subsidiaries would be filing for creditor protection under the CCAA. The group had been seeking additional financing to keep it operating. On December 22, 2023, Trees was granted creditor protection.
The company lists among its assets, in addition to its ten locations, an established loyalty program and a “long-standing and respected cannabis heritage originating on Vancouver Island.”
On January 2, 2024, the applicants received an extension for their proceedings until February 29, 2024. Then, following orders granted by the court on January 29, 2024, FTI Consulting Canada and Trees started the sale and investment solicitation process (SISP), and a transaction agreement was approved to serve as the “stalking horse bid” in the SISP. A Stay of Proceedings was then extended to April 12, 2024.
Those who wish to submit a bid in the SISP must deliver a non-binding letter of interest to the Monitor and Trees, together with the other materials and information required under the SISP, by no later than 5:00 p.m. (ET) on February 29, 2024. Final binding offers are due in accordance with the SISP by no later than 5:00 pm (ET) on March 15, 2024, unless extended in accordance with the terms of the SISP.
Trees started as a “legacy” era medical cannabis dispensary in British Columbia before eventually transitioning to the legal market.

Was there a specific period of time during which the ETs were supposed to keep their hands off our planet and did that time come to an end?
This is a polarity universe and as a temporal illusory hologram, our universe exists only because both positive and negative forces hold it in time and space. This means that along with the Light, there is also the other – the Darkside. In the first cycles of time the Light is manifest and in full view, while the Darkside is cloaked, hidden, the underneath, which is still there doing its job, but not apparent.
As we move through the Four Cycles of Time, the Dark begins to emerge and reveal itself – while the Light withdraws. By the time we arrive at the Kali Yuga (our current cycle or age), the Light has become more veiled, and the Darkside begins to rule. By the Twilight of the Kali Yuga – which began in 1939 with atomic fission – the Darkside rules and goodness, although it still exists with us, is hard to find.
One element of the rule of the Darkside Tyrants in the Kali Yuga is the entry of entities into our third dimensional earth plane world.
In Rene Guenon’s the chapter on ‘The Fissures in the Great Wall’ in his book The Reign of Quantity, Guenon warned that our world was being threatened by what he called unanticipated interferences. As we have come to accept matter as the only reality, meaning as the solidification of the world has progressed, we have come near to the limits to that solidification. And because the world can never become a completely closed system, what Guenon calls fissures have occurred in the protective barrier that surrounds our world. This protective barrier is known in metaphysics as the Great Wall and it exists to protect us.
When I first read this idea of fissures forming in the Great Wall, what immediately came to mind were the infamous Montauk Experiments. Those of you who are familiar with this story will recall that when the time warp was achieved with their Tesla-like frequency emissions there was a tear, as in a rip, in the time field and whatever protects the 3rd dimensional planet Earth from ETs and what I call astral cooties was opened. It was reported that through this tear many ETs – friendly or not – slipped into this dimension. An increase in sightings and abductions might be considered as evidence.
Guenon points out that the Great Wall is, as he terms it, a shell and as such not only keeps energies out to act as our protection, it also serves as a limitation, a container. This may explain why so many have said that 3rd dimensional planet earth is under some sort of quarantine. Was there a specific period of time during which the ETs were supposed to keep their hands off the planet and our consciousness – perhaps in compliance with the Law of Non-Interference? Has that agreement been recently broken over and over? Is even that formal and supposedly ‘legal’ limitation is coming to an end?
As Guenon says, the Great Wall exists to ensure that we are protected from being attacked by enemies from below. I assume this implies that many of these entities are not particularly evolved and may have a somewhat Darkside consciousness.
Apparently in previous cycles of time before the current solidification of the world, there existed openings in the top of this protective shell that allowed us to communicate with the higher realms. Such communication was the purpose of the ancient Spiritual Centers clustered all over the planet which function as time portals. Most of these are now abandoned and have been intentionally taken over by the Darkside, so that they may feed off the residual frequencies once generated there. Think of how many once sacred sites are the focal point of ongoing wars and human misery.
Our current acceptance of the doctrine of materialism allows us to believe only that which comes to us through the 5 senses. Our own limited way of thinking has shut us off from communication with the higher more evolved domains and access to the higher realms through these sacred centers is now closed.
More than ever before, we are on our own here!
***
Realize how strategically clever it has been for our controllers to emphatically deny the existence of the so-called ‘occult’ and the Invisible Realms. As anyone who has ever had an ET sighting or abduction knows well the disproportionate amount of ridicule that will be heaped upon you by close friends, lovers, and family – enough to shake even the strongest will. The painful and heart breaking, implied threat is clear – you will be ostracized to a world of crazies, whackos, and candidates for the loony bin.
Certainly I am not the only one to suggest that there has been an out and out propaganda war raged against us, especially psychics and empaths. We are taught to fear anything unseen or occult as the work of the devil.
If you don’t acknowledge the very existence of your enemy – who is unerringly undermining your will and poisoning your entire planet – then how can you fight? It’s a brilliant strategy — for a coward!
***
Esoteric traditions in every religion are aware of these tears in the protective shield that surrounds our world. Many religions in accordance with their own esoteric doctrines are well aware of that we are in the final phases of this cycle of time.
Once again let me emphasize the key factor in our vulnerability to these pernicious influences is that we are not aware of their existence and this has been intentional.
This also explains why so many, who have only the best of intentions to fight the Darkside, fail miserably. This is not to say that I don’t respect and admire their bravery – but they simply do NOT understand what is going on. More often than not the self-righteous anger so many live within, sadly makes them into resources for the Darkside. People with the best of intentions become used as innocent dupes because they have no awareness of the mechanics of the energies they are interacting with.
***
In the purely physical and material sense we humans are completely powerless against these beings. If as has been reported there is a faction of our military, which is laboring day and night to build weaponry – based on back-engineered alien technology – to fight these entities, then I understand their heartfelt efforts. But I consider these desperate endeavors to be ultimately useless.
First of all, the Darkside ETs would never allow us to possess any technology capable of defeating them. Secondly and even more importantly, this final battle, this war for our souls, is taking place far beyond the domain of the five senses, beyond the realm of quantified material surfaces – which is the deluded basis of our current intellectually myopic science.
We cannot fight them on their level!
Our only real weapon is to realize what is actually occurring here in 3rd dimensional planet Earth and raise our own frequencies by shifting our consciousness above theirs to a vibratory plane wherein they have no power over us.
Many of you, I’m certain, have noticed how time itself seems to be speeding up – even the young feel and comment on this phenomena. It is as if the day begins and evaporates. This is a known effect of the Twilight of the Kali Yuga. The cycles of time are not made up of equal durations and in fact decrease in length in a prescribed ratio.
This increase in the speed of time you are experiencing is NOT just your imagination. It is a sign that time is progressively contracting in duration – a portent sign that we are close to the end of a cycle within this illusory holographic matrix.
First and foremost, work on your own consciousness. When you have achieved a level of consciousness and an understanding that frees you from the Gunas, when you realize that what you once thought was the only ‘real’ is in fact the temporal illusory hologram, you will have no fear. You will become truly free. As Rene Guenon says: “…it can be said in all truth that the ‘end of a world’ never is and never can be anything but the end of an illusion.”
Cannabis experts in Ukraine suggest that it might take several years before the domestic cultivation of cannabis is operational within the country. The Ukrainian Parliament, Verkhovna Rada, recently granted approval for a draft law, marking a crucial step toward establishing a legal framework for the medical cannabis industry.
The legislative action could open up import-export prospects for foreign and local companies looking to balance supply and demand, especially in the early phases of the Ukrainian market. However, despite Verkhovna Rada’s approval of the legislation, significant groundwork remains before medical marijuana can be legally sold in Ukraine. This is because the measure provides a broad outline of what constitutes acceptable business operations, but it is devoid of particular guidelines.
What’s certain is that medical marijuana distribution will take place through pharmacies and will be administered to patients with specific conditions who have prescriptions from physicians. This strategy is more in line with European regulatory models that prioritize pharmaceuticals than it is with North American regulatory frameworks that prioritize private enterprise and accessibility.
Ukraine has established a rigorous timeline for putting the law into effect. Six months after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy gives his approval — he is anticipated to approve the measure soon — it will go into force. Draft regulations should be created no later than three months after Zelenskyy’s approval, in accordance with the law.
Even though the law’s specifics are still unknown, Ukraine has made great strides toward developing a working medicinal cannabis market. Independent European medicinal marijuana adviser Hanna Hlushchenko highlights the necessity for the government to establish licensing standards. She is working in tandem with the Ukrainian Association of Medical Cannabis to help formulate the rules.
According to Hlushchenko, Ukraine will most likely enact regulations comparable to those in Europe, thus making cannabis a pharmaceutical sector. She also adds that facilities looking to grow and distribute medical cannabis must adhere to pharmaceutical supply chain laws and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) guidelines. GMP is a rigorous quality-control accreditation commonly used in pharmaceutical production.
A European health authority’s GMP accreditation is usually necessary for export-oriented medical cannabis businesses. Merely meeting this requirement might cause future Ukrainian farmers to have to wait longer. Hlushchenko hopes that, if everything goes according to plan, authorized producers will start growing cannabis in Ukraine by late 2026 or early 2027. As for imports, she is optimistic that they might start by 2025, provided more work is done and President Zelenskyy gives his assent.
The possibility of Ukraine opening the door to medical cannabis imports presents North American companies such as Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE: TRUL) (OTCQX: TCNNF) tantalizing opportunities that they could leverage in their bid to expand their global footprint.
