Dear Mr. Rosenberg:
On behalf

immediately thereafter.
Offering Statement
on Form 1-A filed May 22, 2019 Index to Consolidated Financial Statements, page F-1
1. Please provide us an analysis of the accounting treatment of the acquisition
of LBC Bioscience in January 2019. Given that the former shareholders of LBC Bioscience have received significantly more than 50%
of CBD Life Sciences’ common stock in the transaction, it appears that LBC is the accounting acquirer and, as such, will
be the continuing reporting entity. If so, revise the filing to include the financial statements required by Part F/S, Section
(b)(3)-(4) of Form 1-A. Alternatively, if you conclude that LBC is not the accounting acquirer, revise the Form 1-A to include
the financial statements required by Part F/S, Section (b)(7)(iii) of the Form. In addition, revise to include pro forma financial
information pursuant to Part F/S, Section (b)(7)(iv) to reflect the transaction with LBC as appropriate. We will not perform a
detailed examination of the offering statement until you revise to include the appropriate financial statements.
CBD Life Sciences' shareholders
maintained control by virte of their control prefferred Stock.
The filing has been revised
to include the financial statements required by Part F/S, Section (b)(3)-(4) of Form 1-A
Pro forma presentation
should be based on the latest balance sheet included in the filing. A pro forma balance sheet is not required if
the acquisition or disposal is already reflected in a historical balance sheet.

The Company hereby acknowledges:
· should the Commission or the staff, acting pursuant to delegated authority,
declare the filing qualified, it does not foreclose the Commission from taking any action with respect to the filing;

1.
Nature of Operations and Continuance of Business
CBD Life Sciences Inc. "the Company"
was incorporated in the State of Nevada on December 31, 2003 under the name of Platinum Consulting Services and was in the business
of providing business consulting services until 2006 when on May 15, 2006 it signed a Share Purchase agreement to acquire an undivided
100% right, title and interest in and to all the outstanding shares of AutoBidLive Auctions Inc. AutoBidLive Auctions Inc. was
a private company incorporated in the Province of Alberta, Canada whose main asset was a proprietary software to enable real time,
online auctions of virtually any product or commodity for use by the wholesale market. This included cars, boats, planes, coins,
stamps, industrial products, diamonds, artwork, and livestock. As a result of the closing of the Share Purchase Agreement the Company
changed its name from Platinum Consulting Services to Autobidlive Auctions International Inc. The Company subsequently changed
its name again on December 26, 2006 from Autobidlive Auctions International Inc. to Auctions International Inc. although there
was no change in business.
Between 2006 and 2012 the Company continued
to develop and market its online auctions software and on November 20, 2012 it entered into an agreement with Rangemore Productions
to produce a live interactive auction television series utilizing the AutoBidLive software. This lead to a merger with Rangemore
Productions, a company that leased film studio space to independent film productions presented itself. Although this was a deviation
from the original business plan, the management felt that it was an exciting opportunity and decided to pursue it. On December
31, 2012, the Company entered into a Merger Agreement and on March 31, 2013, the merger closed whereby the Company issued 42,942,000
preferred shares for all the assets and liabilities of Rangemore Productions Corp.
Prior to the closing of the Merger Agreement
on March 26, 2013, the Company changed its corporate name from Auctions International Inc. to Rangemore Film Productions Corp.
to reflect the closing of the Merger Agreement between the Company and Rangemore Productions Corp. and the resulting change in
business. On December 19, 2013 the Company again changed its corporate name to Cre8tive Works, Inc. as there was confusion with
another company using the name Rangemore but did not change it business plan or operations.
From March 2013 to August 2017 Cre8tive
Works was in the business of financing media productions. The term "media productions" included but is not limited to:
feature films, documentaries, animation, television series, movies-of-the-week, television specials, webisodes and soundtracks.
The business was not successful and in August of 2017 the management was presented with the opportunity to acquire a technology
platform developed to analyse and monitor IT networks for cyber security vulnerabilities and breaches. As a result of the new business
the Company changed its name to Optium Cyber Systems, Inc. (OCSI). OCSI developed a proprietary process to analyze, identify and
address cyber security vulnerabilities in an organization's critical IT infrastructure which is scalable to any size organization
in any industry.
These statements include the operations
of LBC Lifesciences Inc. which was acquired on January 1, 2019 through a share exchange to capitalize on the growing cannabidiol
sector. LBC Bioscience Inc. is developing and marketing a line of cannabidiol based organic products such as hemp drops, massage
oils, recovery pain relief creams, anxiety and sleep solutions, supplements, edibles, and a full line of pet products. In addition,
LBC is in the process of developing an anti-aging skin product line. LBC's products can be viewed and purchased on the company's
website at www.lbcbioscienceinc.com. As a result of the acquisition, the Company changed its name to CBD Life Sciences Inc. CBD
Life Sciences Inc. is a publicly traded company having its common shares quoted on the OTC Markets under the symbol `CBDL'. The
Company's main focus is to identify, evaluate and acqui
