HempMeds Featured on NBC 7 Discussing Cannabis in Pro Sports From Growing Industry Hub: San Diego

San Diego, America’s Friendliest City, Cited as a “Booming Hemp Hub” in August 7 Report That Aired Before Local Area Cannabis Industry Event

San Diego, CA – August 11, 2015 – San Diego’s economic development is being fueled by one of the oldest plants on the planet: cannabis.

“San Diego is actually becoming, literally a booming hemp hub, number one globally for the entire nation,” Andrew Hard, Spokesperson for HempMeds® and CEO of CMW Media told NBC 7 News in a report that aired Friday, August 7. “This is a major destination for the cannabis industry as a whole, and basically it’s very important for San Diego to know that and, even more, embrace it.”

Nestled in and just outside the Greater San Diego area are several of the cannabis companies that are making headline news around the world:

  • Medical Marijuana, Inc. – the first publicly traded cannabis company and an industry investor fostering the growth of the cannabis industry
  • HempMeds® – the world’s trusted source for CBD hemp oil products
  • HempMeds Brasil – a key source of CBD hemp oil that is approved for export and can be subsidized by Brazil’s federal government and health insurance
  • Dixie Botanicals – one of the most widely recognized brands in the cannabis industry
  • Kannaway – the world’s first award-winning CBD hemp oil product-focused network marketing company
  • MPSI – U.S. cannabis security solutions
  • Haenep Source – a hemp lifestyle company

“Trending are cannabis products with cannabidiol or ‘CBD’ hemp oil that give all the benefits of cannabis just without the psychoactive ‘high’ that one receives from the cannabinoid THC,” Hard states. “CBD from hemp is not a scheduled substance so products with it can be shipped nationwide and around the world.”

Retail brands of CBD hemp oil products – also known as “low THC cannabis” in “CBD-only” states – that are also trending online include:

Hard explains, “What the public may not know is that today’s cannabis consumers range from toddlers to seniors, professional, collegiate, and youth athletes, Veterans – even pets!”

Over the weekend, HempMeds® supported the local cannabis industry as a presenting sponsor at the 1st annual San Diego Cannabis Professionals Cup. There, Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s HempMeds® showcased their cannabidiol (CBD) hemp oil portfolio brands letting the public know that although some states are grappling with the logistics of implementing “low THC cannabis” laws for marijuana-based products, there is an immediately available alternative with CBD hemp oil.
