Re:     Cannabis Sativa, Inc., Registration Statement on Form S-4

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

I have acted as securities counsel for Cannabis Sativa, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), for the purpose of issuing this opinion letter in connection with the registration statement on Form S-4 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Registration Statement relates to the offering of 121,150,774 shares of the Company’s common stock by the Company upon the consummation of a merger.

 

In rendering the opinion set forth below, I have reviewed: (a) the Registration Statement; (b) the Company's Articles of Incorporation; (c) the Company's Bylaws; (d) the relevant merger agreement; and (e) such statutes, records and other documents as I have deemed relevant.  In my examination, I have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to me as originals, and conformity with the originals of all documents submitted to me as copies thereof and the truthfulness of statements set forth in such documents.  In addition, I have made such other examinations of law and fact, as I have deemed relevant in order to form a basis for the opinions hereinafter expressed.

 

Based upon the foregoing and upon receipt by the Company of the consideration for the shares specified in the relevant merger agreement, I am of the opinion that the 121,150,774 shares of common stock to be issued by the Company pursuant to the relevant merger agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. This opinion is based on Nevada general corporate law, all applicable Nevada statutory provisions and reported judicial decisions interpreting these laws.

 

Very truly yours,

 

/s/ Gary R. Henrie
