 RE: Wolverine Partners Corp. d/b/a Gage Cannabis Co.

Amendment No. 2 to Draft Offering
Statement on Form 1-A

Submitted August 12, 2020

CIK No. 0001810254

	Response to August 25, 2020 letter

Dear Mr. Edwards,

Wolverine Partners
Corp. d/b/a Gage Cannabis Co. (the “Corporation”) has received your letter, dated August 25, 2020, regarding the above-referenced
offering statement filed pursuant to Regulation A, Tier 2. As requested, the Corporation has revised its Offering Statement to
address each of your comments, and has provided the additional information, as set forth below, to assist you in better understanding
its disclosures.

Offering Circular

Dilution, page 37

 1. Please refer to prior comment 7. In your discussion of
the "material disparity" between the	share price in this offering and the effective cash cost per share to existing
shareholders, 	please present both amounts in US dollars using per share amounts in the table on page 36. 	Also, include
the key assumptions discussed on page 37 of the prior filing in your revised 	presentation.

RESPONSE: The Corporation has revised the Offering
Circular accordingly.

Security Ownership of Management and Certain Securityholders,
page 69

 2. We note your revisions in response to prior comment 14.
Please further revise this section to:

 • include disclosure pursuant to Item 12 of Form 1-A
for each class of voting securities, 		including exchangeable units;

 • disclose the number of each class of securities outstanding
as of a recent date;

 • include in the table all securities beneficially owned
by directors and executive officers, 		individually naming each director or executive officer, or any other security holder
who 		beneficially owns more than 10% of any class of voting securities. Refer to Item 12(a) 	of Form 1-A and Exchange
Act Rule 13d-3. In this regard, we note your disclosure on 	page 63 regarding the ownership of Mayde, Inc. by your director,
Rami Reda; and

 • disclose the natural person or person(s) with voting
and investment control over the 	 		securities held by Mayde, Inc.

Please also include disclosure in the
Summary as well as a separately captioned Risk Factor 	highlighting and quantifying the percentage of voting power held by affiliates.

RESPONSE: The Corporation
has revised the Offering Circular accordingly.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 5. Acquisition of Assets, p. 99

 3. Please refer to prior comment 17. Please explain your
basis for determining the fair value 	allocated to loans and interest receivable of $7,658,683, when these loans had been forgiven
	by Wolverine.

RESPONSE: The loan receivable
had a principal value of $7.5M plus accrued interest at the date of acquisition. Management did an assessment of the fair value
of the loan at the date of acquisition comparing the stated interest rate to an appropriate market rate. At the date of acquisition,
the loan was fully collectible and Wolverine had a payable on its books in the same amount. Accordingly, the loan receivable has
been included in the assets acquired (which was subsequently eliminated upon consolidation of the Rivers Innovations entity).

Note 21. Share Capital

Exchangeable Units, page 112

 4. Please expand this disclosure to provide the information provided in your response to prior comment
18, particularly the allocation of total consideration to "know-how" possessed by the shareholders, Mike Hermiz and Rami
Reda. In addition, explain how you expect to utilize this "know-how" in your future business activities.

RESPONSE:
As previously disclosed, the purpose for the acquisitions of Terra and Mayde was mainly to acquire the knowledge and “know-how”
possessed by Mr. Hermiz and Mr. Reda. The Corporation considers the knowledge and expertise possessed by Mr. Hermiz and Mr. Reda
to be personally held in the form of unpatented inventions, formulae, procedures and methods, together with accumulated skills
and experience which the Corporation deemed essential to the success of the business going forward and of significant value. Given
the proprietary nature of such “know “how” it would not be prudent to share further such information with the
public.

Note 23. Non-Controlling Interest, page
114

 5. Please refer to prior comment 19. Please reconcile all “total” amounts in this table
to your consolidated financial statements. Also, explain why balance sheet amounts for Spartan Holdings LLC have not been presented
and why its net loss attributable to NCI as a percentage of the total net loss, which you disclose is 48.8%, does not compute to
$12,290,255. In addition, explain how this NCI relates to your acquisitions of Terra and Mayde and describe the parties that hold
these ownership interests. Confirm as applicable that Spartan Holdings LLC represents Spartan Partners Holdings LLC as discussed
on page 112. Revise your disclosures accordingly.

RESPONSE: The amounts
in the total column in the NCI table of Note 23 differ from the consolidated financial statements as amounts for the parent entity
- Wolverine Partners Corp (100% owned) have not been included as well as the impact of intercompany eliminations. See tables below.

The balance sheet amounts for
Spartan Holding LLC have not been presented because Spartan Holdings (on a standalone basis) has no assets or liabilities. Likewise,
the 48.8% NCI is the interest after completion of the two-share exchange transactions that took place during the year. This amount
was made up of the $25,160,280 of shares issued in March 2019 which created an NCI of 36.4%, and the remaining $33,809,166 of shares
issued in August 2019 which created a total NCI of 48.8%. The loss attributable to the NCI was determined based on operating results
for each of the periods. See tables below.

Wolverine issued shares of Spartan
Partners Corporation to acquire Terra and Mayde. Shares were issued to Michael Hermiz to acquire Terra and shares were issued to
Mayde, Inc. to acquire Mayde. As a result of this, their percentage ownership held by Wolverine reduced from 100% to 52%.

Spartan Holdings LLC represents
Spartan Partners Holdings LLC.

 7. We note your revisions in response to comment 21. Please revise your offering circular to highlight
the indemnification provision in Section 7 of the Subscription Agreement in more detail and explain how the provision applies to
investors. Also, please include risk factor disclosure that highlights the indemnification provision.

RESPONSE: The Corporation
has revised the offering circular to include a disclosure and a risk factor that addresses this comment.

 8. We note your response to prior comment 22. Please revise your offering document to clearly and
prominently disclose that Section 9 of the Subscription Agreement limits an investor's ability to file suit against the Company.
Please disclose whether this provision applies to claims made under the federal securities laws, describe any risks to investors
associated with it and any uncertainty as to such provision's enforceability.

RESPONSE: The Corporation
has revised Section 9 of the Subscription Agreement to clarify that the Subscription Agreement will be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan, and that the clause does not apply to claims brought to enforce any duty
or liability created by the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the rules and regulations thereunder.
The Corporation has further separated the disclaimers pertaining to Federal Cannabis Laws and included it as a new Section 10,
which it believes addresses the ambiguity that may have existed as the Section had previously been drafted.

Additionally, we have included
a disclosure in the offering circular that addresses this comment.

In addition to our
responses above, as well as the corresponding revisions to our offering statement, we acknowledge that the Corporation is responsible
for the accuracy and adequacy of our disclosures, notwithstanding any review, comments, actions, or absence of actions by the Securities
and Exchange Commission. We further acknowledge that, following qualification of our Form 1-A, Rule 257 of Regulation A requires
us to file periodic and current reports, including a Form 1-K, which will be due within 120 calendar days after the end of the
fiscal year covered by the report.

If you have any additional
questions regarding our responses to your comments, please contact Frank Borger Gilligan at (615) 319-8005 or by email at fborgergilligan@dickinsonwright.com.
