Effectively all of their actual or expected revenue is derived from the cultivation, production, testing or sale of cannabis. * ### 1B CRBs  *![1B CRB - 052724](https://www.crbmonitor.com/hs-fs/hubfs/1B%20CRB%20-%20052724.png?width=468&height=280&name=1B%20CRB%20-%20052724.png) Tier 1B defined: Businesses that have a financial or controlling interest in a Tier 1A CRB.
