HempMeds® Participates In New York Cannabis World Congress & Business Expo

“Low THC Cannabis” Retail Products Showcased in New York by Hemp Industry Innovator

San Diego, CA – June 3, 2015 – The entrepreneurial spirit is thriving in New York. As the state prepares for medical cannabis availability, cultivation and dispensary licenses are popular topics of conversation. The International Cannabis Association is assisting enterprising individuals and companies with plans to join the industry by hosting the Cannabis World Congress & Business Expo held in New York City June 17-19.

There, Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s (OTC Pink: MJNA) portfolio company, HempMeds™, will exhibit a wide range of industrial hemp oil retail products including the groundbreaking product Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ (RSHO™) that is helping to reshape international cannabis law in Brazil. “It will take more than a year for New York’s medical cannabis law to take effect,” states Stuart W. Titus, PhD and Chief Executive Officer of Medical Marijuana, Inc. “HempMeds is participating in the Cannabis World Congress & Business Expo to showcase hemp-based cannabis products that are available for resale today. These innovative products represent an immediately viable entry point into the market for entrepreneurs who are considering retail locations.”

MJNA’s investments and portfolio companies’ hemp oil retail brands planned for display in HempMeds’ exhibit at the Cannabis World Congress & Business Expo include:

  • Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ (RSHO™) – All-natural hemp oil in a convenient transportable tube
  • Dixie Botanicals™ – Salvation Salve™, original or cinnamon tinctures and capsules from one of the cannabis industry’s most recognized brands
  • Kannactiv™ from KannaLife – All-natural proprietary botanicals with hemp oil for troubled skin
  • Defined Transformation™ – Luxury anti-aging skincare line with bi-bong™ herbal extract formulation with hemp oil
  • Rev!ve™ – Bi-bong™ herbal extract formulation of all-natural hemp oil
  • HempVAP® – – Morning, daytime and nighttime proprietary formula of hemp oil in a convenient electronic pen
  • KannaKick™ – All-natural energy chew squares with hemp oil in chocolate, icy mint, cinnamon, orange-mango, and green apple flavors

“MJNA’s investment and portfolio company brands are changing hearts and minds around the world,” continues Dr. Titus. “We are seeing growing acceptance of hemp products in the U.S. – and internationally; in Brazil an epic change in the country’s cannabis law permits RSHO™ for import, through HempMeds Brasil™ and accompanied by required documentation.”

Dr. Titus concludes, “As the USA’s first publicly traded cannabis company, MJNA invests in and fosters the growth of industrial hemp and cannabis industry innovations. We would like to thank the International Cannabis Association for the opportunity to educate prospective entrepreneurs attending the New York City Cannabis World Congress & Business Expo about hemp history and industrial hemp. Our representatives look forward to discussing the vast possibilities that the cannabis industry provides.”

Guest speakers at the Cannabis World Congress & Business Expo include Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s portfolio investment company, KannaLife Sciences (“KannaLife”), which was recently featured in CNN’s Weed 3: The Marijuana Revolution. KannaLife’s work to develop a solution for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) is critical; it gives hope to not only professional athletes but those in collegiate and youth sports to members of the armed forces and those affected by a traumatic brain injury.
