The <\/span>5th Annual Cannabis World Congress and Business Expo<\/span><\/a> (CWCBE) returns to the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City for three days of cannabis education, business networking, and advocacy. <\/span><\/p>\n The CWCBE is scheduled to take place from May 31 – June 2, 2018. Representatives from Medical Marijuana, Inc. companies <\/span>HempMeds\u00ae<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Kannaway<\/span><\/a> will be on hand at this important yearly cannabis event to raise awareness for the role CBD plays in the larger medical marijuana industry.<\/span><\/p>\n Medical Marijuana, Inc. subsidiary HempMeds\u00ae will host a booth on the event\u2019s expo floor. There the company\u2019s knowledgeable team CBD experts will be demonstrating CBD products from popular brands like <\/span>Dixie Botanicals\u00ae<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Real Scientific Hemp Oil\u2122<\/span><\/a> (RSHO\u2122) for the event\u2019s attendees and answering questions about hemp, CBD, and the benefits of our products. <\/span><\/p>\n Business owners and cannabis entrepreneurs can also speak with our team of CBD experts to learn first hand how wholesale, bulk, and white label CBD can benefit you or your business. There is no easier way to break into the booming CBD industry than with wholesale products from Medical Marijuana, Inc. We invite all CWCBE attendees to come visit the HempMeds\u00ae team at booth #100 anytime during the event.<\/span><\/p>\n Representatives of the Medical Marijuana, Inc. family of companies will also participate in a trio of the CWCBE\u2019s informational lectures and panels to help inform attendees on the science behind cannabis, detail the benefits of CBD, and reveal their personal experiences with CBD products.<\/span><\/p>\n Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO <\/span>Dr. Stuart Titus<\/span><\/a> will speak first on medical cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) research on May 31 at 12:00 p.m. in room #1A11. His talk, titled \u201cCannabis as Medicine\u201d, will cover the science behind cannabinoids and their therapeutic effects, including recent research efforts into cannabis for a range of medical conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI am looking forward to the opportunity to spread education on cannabis and specifically CBD so that we can begin to clear up some misconceptions and further cannabis research,\u201d said Dr. Titus. \u201cWith the first-ever import permits for Real Scientific Hemp Oil\u2122 (RSHO\u2122) from the governments of Mexico, Brazil and Paraguay, there is clearly an expanding global market for hemp cannabidiol (CBD) products and plan to continue to be leaders in the industry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Dr. Titus will also be speaking on a panel titled \u201cInvesting in Publicly Traded Cannabis Companies\u201d on June 1 at 2:00 p.m. in room #1A16. Dr. Titus will be joined on this panel by Dean Petkanas, CEO of <\/span>Kannalife\u2122 Sciences<\/span><\/a>, a Medical Marijuana, Inc. portfolio company focusing on the creation of novel new pharmaceutical products for the treatment of neurological conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n HempMeds\u00ae spokesperson and UFC fighter Liz Carmouche will also be participating in an athlete\u2019s panel at the CWCBE. Carmouche is the UFC\u2019s first openly-gay fighter, as well as the UFC\u2019s most decorated ex-military fighter. <\/span><\/p>\n Carmouche will speak on the \u201cAthlete Patient Panel\u201d on June 2 at 10:00 a.m. in room #1A16. Skeptical at first about the benefits of CBD, Carmouche is now a vocal advocate of how CBD helps her train harder and recover faster. She is currently training for her upcoming UFC fight against Jennifer Maia on July 14, in UFC Fight Night 133. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Joining Carmouche on the sports centric panel will be former NFL Pro Bowler Christian Okoye. Nicknamed the \u201cNigerian Nightmare\u201d for his punishing running style as a fullback, Okoye retired after six seasons as the Kansas City Chiefs all-time rushing leader. Okoye\u2019s time in the NFL wore on his body, causing him to rely heavily on prescription medications. <\/span><\/p>\n Okoye recently came out in support of CBD as an alternative after being introduced to CBD products by former teammate Nick Lowery. Like Carmouche, Okoye was hesitant at first because he associated CBD with marijuana in his mind. After adding CBD products to his daily routine, Okoye partnered with Medical Marijuana, Inc. portfolio company Kannaway as a spokesperson to raise awareness for the advantages of CBD for current and former athletes like his fellow NFL players. <\/span><\/p>\n We invite all CWCBE attendees to visit the HempMeds\u00ae booth, #100, anytime during the event or visit <\/span>our news feed<\/span><\/a> to learn more about the Medical Marijuana, Inc. portfolio of companies and our line of popular CBD products.
