If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box, if appropriate)

☒ (a) The reasons described in reasonable detail in Part III of this form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort or expense;

☒ (b) The subject annual report, semi-annual report, transition report on Form 10-K, Form 20-F, 11-K, Form N- SAR, or Form N-CSR, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifteenth calendar day following the prescribed due date; or the subject quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or subject distribution report on Form 10-D, or portion thereof will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the prescribed due date; and

Part III - Narrative

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the prescribed period.

Cannabis Sativa, Inc. ("CBDS" or "Registrant")) has determined that it is unable to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2022 within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The late filing of this Form 10-Q is the result of the delayed filing of the Company's 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, and scheduling conflicts regarding the quarterly review with by Company's independent contractors. These issues could not be fully resolved by May 16, 2022, the due date for the quarterly report.

CBDS currently anticipates that the Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 will be filed as soon as practicable and no later than May 23, 2022.
