Company’s Subsidiary HempMeds® Mexico Begins Taking Private Orders for RSHO™ in Colombia, Showcases Products at Expo Mede Weed 2016 in City of Medellin
SAN DIEGO, CA – Nov. 28 – Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA) announced today that its subsidiary HempMeds® Mexico, the first and only company with approval from COFEPRIS to legally import a cannabis product into Mexico, has begun distributing Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ (RSHO™) to Colombia.
This announcement comes at a pivotal time as the Colombian government re-evaluates its regulation of cannabis-based products and their medicinal attributes. HempMeds® Mexico joined the legislative discussion by attending and exhibiting the global headline-making RSHO™ at Expo Mede Weed 2016 in the city of Medellin.
“We are thrilled to be able to reach Colombians with our products and to help nurture new markets there,” said Dr. Stuart Titus, CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc. “Here in the United States, we are able to get access to RSHO™ and other cannabidiol (CBD) products online; however, residents of other countries are not as fortunate due to regulatory issues with cannabis-based products. We are very excited that Colombians will now have access to all of the benefits of CBD.”
The Company plans to work with Colombian regulatory authorities to continue to build distribution channels into Colombia and eventually open local operations in the country.
In addition to receiving the first orders from Colombia, HempMeds® Mexico exhibited at Expo Mede Weed in the city of Medellin. The two-day event featured cannabis industry panelists, speakers and exhibitors from around the world discussing cannabis legislation in the country and was attended by over 6,000 people.
“We were proud to represent HempMeds® Mexico in Colombia at Expo Mede Weed 2016,” stated Dion Markgraaff, President of HempMeds® Mexico. “The event gave Colombians the opportunity to explore and interact with different cannabis companies and products while learning from experts in the industry from across the globe.”
The Company plans to make a substantial donation of product to doctors and certain patients based on financial need upon regulatory approval from the government of Colombia.
