Our goal is to provide these options to our patients who have a wide variety of needs and preferences. We know that our collaboration with ButACake will be wildly popular with our patients, especially because Matha Figaro and her team at ButACake bake the most delicious cookies with the most unique flavors.

Seattle, April 19, 2023 — Pervasip Corp. (OTCPK: PVSP) (“Pervasip” or the “Company”), a developer of companies and technologies in high value emerging markets, and its wholly owned subsidiary, Artizen Corporation, today announced its expansion into the Oregon recreational cannabis market.
The Oregon cannabis market has seen tremendous growth over the past few years with sales reaching $1.1 billion in 2021. The state is home to more than 1,300 licensed cannabis businesses including growers, processors, dispensaries, and labs.

The company plans to leverage its cultivation and distribution expertise to operate a modern grow and processing facility in Ashland, an agricultural center in southern Oregon. The company strongly values the geographically situated area, located half-way between Washington and California, as beneficial for any future interstate operation.
