ITEM 5.02   DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS;  ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
            APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF
            CERTAIN OFFICERS

     On October 9, 2017 Earnest  Blackmon  resigned as the  Company's  Principal
Financial  and  Accounting  Officer.  Following  his  resignation,  the  Company
appointed  John  Walsh  as the  Company's  Principal  Financial  and  Accounting
Officer.

     John Walsh (age 72) is a former  partner  of the  international  accounting
firm of Touche Ross & CO. (now Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu  Limited),  and has over
40 years of  experience  in the  accounting  and  financial  services  industry,
including  reporting  requirements  and GAAP  oversight for publicly  registered
companies.  Since 1998,  and  subsequent to his  professional  association  with
Deloitte,  he has provided independent  consulting services to such companies as
AT&T Broadband (now Comcast),  the Casualty Insurance Division of CNA Financial,
the  Construction  Division  of  Lafarge  North  America,  and Crown  Media (the
Hallmark  cable and movie  channel).  At Crown Media,  Mr. Walsh served as their
interim Chief Financial Officer for a three-year period. Prior to joining United
Cannabis Corporation,  he served,  between December 2013 and January 2017, as an
accounting  consultant to a public  company that provided  cultivation  facility
leasing and fulfilment series to license holders of retail and medical marijuana
outlets in the state of Colorado.  The Company  believes that his accounting and
financial  industry  experience,  coupled  with  his  public  company  reporting
knowledge in the cannabis industry, enables Mr. Walsh to be a valuable member of
the Company's management.
