Cannabis in Mexico, SXSW in Austin, and CBD for Pets lead the headlines this week for the Medical Marijuana, Inc. family of companies. <\/span><\/i><\/h3>\n

Medical Marijuana, Inc. companies continued to be a driving part of the cannabis conversation this past week with top executives interviewed for a trio of stories in both national and international media outlets.<\/span><\/p>\n

American Cannabis Products Find Market in Mexico<\/span><\/h2>\n

Medical Marijuana, Inc. and its portfolio company HempMeds\u00ae were part of a story exploring the cross-border cannabis market that exists between California and Mexico. <\/span><\/p>\n

The story, originally published in the <\/span>Voice of San Diego<\/span><\/a>, focuses specifically on the movement of cannabis products from California into Mexico, an idea that seems contrary to the long established norm. <\/span><\/p>\n

The story first discussed consumers from Tijuana, Mexico, who travel to San Diego County\u2019s border towns to visit legal dispensaries there. While many of these consumers will use their cannabis in the U.S. where it is legal, others bring their marijuana purchases home to Mexico. <\/span><\/p>\n

Medical cannabis in the form of <\/span>CBD oil<\/span><\/a> from HempMeds\u00ae was the first cannabis product legally imported into Mexico, sparking the nation\u2019s current push for medical cannabis reform. <\/span><\/p>\n

President and CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc. Dr. Stuart Titus was interviewed as part of the article. Dr. Titus detailed the influence CBD advocate and current HempMeds\u00ae Mexico President Raul Elizalde played in spearheading the need for this reform. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPrior to our intervention, [Mexican President Enrique] Pe\u00f1a Nieto was against all cannabis products, but he was open to a debate,\u201d Titus said. \u201cRaul [Elizalde] has been able to change the way the president thinks about cannabis.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For now, the country awaits their government to pass its latest medical cannabis law. Until then, only CBD oil products lacking significant levels of THC, such as those available from HempMeds\u00ae Mexico are legal for import and use in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n
