San Diego, CA – Sept. 20, 2016 – Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA) announced today that it was the focus of a Mexico Forbes article that discusses the company’s pioneering role in expanding access to medical cannabinoid products to people across Latin America, including bringing the first legal cannabis products to Mexico, Brazil and Paraguay.
The Sept. 19 Mexico Forbes article titled, “Cotiza en los mercados y quiere vender medicina de marihuana en México,” describes how Medical Marijuana, Inc. has been instrumental in the acceptance and legalization of medical marijuana products across Latin America. The article also discusses the market potential for cannabis in the region, including a potential $2 billion opportunity in revenue for Medical Marijuana Inc. in Mexico alone, according to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer Dr. Stuart Titus.
“We are always excited when a major news outlet tells the story of the positive effects of medical cannabinoid products,” said Dr. Titus. “News stories like these bring us one step closer to helping all those who suffer with chronic conditions like epilepsy. For instance, there are currently no effective medical treatments to address seizure disorders in patients who suffer with the refractory form of epilepsy, a patient group that represents a growing portion of the overall epilepsy patient population.”
Dr. Titus added: “We’re seeing a real shift in the way the cannabis plant is being viewed across the globe, including the extracts from the less controversial non-psychoactive hemp plant. Latin America is certainly progressively leading the way in allowing certain cannabis/hemp/CBD products via doctor prescription. We believe hemp CBD will show confirmed medical benefit with future research initiatives; and that hemp will provide future GDP-boosting economic benefits once this region realizes the potential for overall sustainable and renewable industrial application.”
