controlled company, identify Mr. Pickett as your controlling shareholder and the amount

Prospectus Summary, page 5
4.We note that your summary appears to only discuss the positive aspects of the Company.
The prospectus summary should provide a brief, but balanced, description of the key
aspects of the Company as of the latest practicable date. Please revise the summary to also
discuss any negative aspects of the Company`s experience, strategy, and prospects. For
example only and without limitation, please revise the prospectus summary to provide:
•a brief description of the regulatory approvals that are required for your products;
•the uncertainty related to laws and regulations affecting the medical marijuana
industry; and
•the substantial doubt related to your ability to continue as a going concern, and
your history of net losses and accumulated deficit.
5.We note your statement on page 6 that you intend to expand into five additional markets
in 2023 through expansion of clinic locations and additional acquisitions. We also note
your statement on page 34 that you "hope to be able to enter four new markets in the
twelve calendar months following the closing of the Offering." Please clarify and provide
more detail regarding your plans related to your expansion goals, including a brief
description of the types of opportunities you intend to explore, the markets that you intend
to expand into in 2023/2024, whether you have taken any steps to expand into these
markets, and whether you have identified any additional clinic locations or acquisitions or
entered into any agreements or commitments for any material acquisitions or investments.
If you do not have definitive plans at this time, revise to include balancing disclosure to
clarify that your plans are in the early stages of development and that you do not currently
have agreements in place for expansions or acquisitions.
6.Please provide your basis to support the following statements:
•On page 5, your statement that you anticipate the expansion into the Murray office
space would increase your revenue opportunity by up to $270,000 per month in the
summer of 2023.
•On pages 6, 35 and 42 "KindlyMD is one of the largest providers of medical
evaluation and management services related to treatment recommendations within the

•On page 34, "Creating standard workflows based on provider/patient interaction can
be both art and science and may yield new processes that could improve patient

Risk Factors, page 10
7.Several of the risk factors in this section are duplicative. Please revise to eliminate
redundancy.
8.We note that several risk factors refer to "Subordinate Voting Shares," but you neither
appear to be offering any such shares, nor do you appear to discuss these shares elsewhere
in the prospectus. Please clarify or modify your disclosure accordingly.
The market price for the Common Shares may be volatile, which may affect the price at which
you could sell the Subordinate Voting Shares., page 20
9.We note recent instances of extreme stock price run-ups followed by rapid price declines
and stock price volatility seemingly unrelated to company performance following a
number of recent initial public offerings, particularly among companies with relatively
smaller public floats. Revise to disclose such and state that such volatility, including
any stock-run up, may be unrelated to your actual or expected operating performance and
financial condition or prospects, making it difficult for prospective investors to assess the
rapidly changing value of your stock.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements, page 24
10.We note your statements on pages 22 and 23 that investors "should not
place undue reliance" on forward-looking statements. We also note your
statement cautioning investors not to give undue weight to estimates and projections and
your statement that you have not independently verified the statistical and other industry
data generated by independent parties. These statements imply that investors are not
entitled to rely on the information included in the registration statement and imply a
disclaimer of responsibility for this information in the registration statement. Please either
revise this section to remove such implication or specifically state that you are liable for
all information in the registration statement.
11.We note your references to forward-looking statements within the meaning of the
Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Please be advised that the safe harbor
for forward-looking statements is inapplicable in this context, because you are not
currently a reporting company. See Section 27A(a)(1) of the Securities Act. Therefore,
please either delete all references to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act or make
it clear that the safe harbor does not apply to this offering.
Use of Proceeds, page 25
12.We note your disclosure that you intend to use the net proceeds from this offering for
general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and real estate. Please revise to

respect to any particular capital expenditures that you expect to make. For example, we
note that you hope to acquire five to ten clinics in 2023/2024 and your plan to enter four
new markets in the twelve calendar months following the closing of the Offering "[a]s
funding is secured or made available." If any of the proceeds of this offering will be used,
either directly or indirectly, to finance these acquisitions, expand your disclosure in this
section to identify such businesses, if known, or, if not known, identify the nature of the
businesses to be sought, the status of any negotiations with respect to the acquisition, and
