Through The Hemp Network and then Kannaway™, Medical Marijuana, Inc. was the first company to sell cannabis-based products through both direct sales and network marketing companies. Medical Marijuana, Inc. made the choice to invest in network marketing and direct sales through Kannaway™ and the Hemp Network to take advantage of the network effects of sharing products and information, including the benefits of hemp-based cannabinoids.

In 2010, the Hemp Network became the first network marketing company to provide customers with hemp textile products under a direct sales platform. Tapping into an existing network of hemp advocates and business associates to promote hemp as a wellness product, the Hemp Network spread awareness of CBD hemp oil supplements among potential customers.

The Hemp Network provided the first marketing vehicle for global distribution of hemp products, helping Medical Marijuana, Inc. expand its market share for CBD hemp oil. Then in 2014, Kannaway™ was launched as a network marketing company to educate thousands about the benefits of cannabinoids. The company has successfully distributed cannabis product lines including CBD vaporizers from HempVAP®, a skincare line from Cannabis Beauty Defined®, and Rev!ve® supplements, through an experienced team of network representatives.

Kannaway’s CBD hemp oil products were also the first cannabis based products introduced to Puerto Rico when the company launched on the island. Through a series of education and press events, Kannaway™ was able to excite a dialog across the island on the benefits of CBD hemp oil and cannabis. Just 233 days after Kannaway™’s launch, the governor of Puerto Rico announced his intentions to legalize medical marijuana in the territory. The effort put into Puerto Rico, the U.S., and nations around the world earned Kannaway™ a nod as Start-up of the year in 2014 from the Academy of Multi-level Marketing.
