MassRoots Appoints Glass House Farms Founder Graham Farrar to Board of DirectorsDENVER, Feb. 26, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- MassRoots, Inc. ("MassRoots" or the "Company") (OTCQB: MSRT), one of the leading technology platforms for the regulated cannabis industry, today announced it appointed Mr. Graham Farrar, Founder and Owner of Mission Health Associates (d.b.a. Glass House Farms), to its Board of Directors on February 21, 2018. Prior to entering the cannabis industry, Mr. Farrar was an original member of Software.com (now OpenWave Systems), helping scale the business from a start-up through its initial public offering and listing on Nasdaq in 1999. Mr. Farrar has held key product development positions at Sonos, a leading home audio product, and iStoryTime, a media app company focused on children's books. Mr. Farrar is Founder and Partner at Elite Garden Wholesale, a supplier of cannabis production equipment, and Chief Executive Officer of Glass House Farms, a leading cannabis production company in California. "I'm excited to apply my experience in both developing great software products and building a leading California cannabis producer to the MassRoots platform," stated MassRoots Director, Graham Farrar.

"At the ripe age of 79, I'm excited to spend more time with my family and know I am leaving MassRoots and its shareholders in good hands."
