<\/p>\nWith the Thanksgiving holiday here, Medical Marijuana, Inc. would like to pause and reflect on all that we have to be grateful for this year. <\/span><\/p>\n
Thanks to you, it has been a banner year, and thanks to the efforts of our amazing team, we\u2019ve made incredible strides in bringing access to CBD to more people across the globe.<\/span><\/p>\n
This also allowed MJNA\u2019s diversified portfolio to experience unprecedented growth and success,<\/span> shattering both monthly and daily sales records in this year\u2019s third quarter<\/span><\/a>. To better meet your demands as you continuously discover the natural benefits of daily CBD, we launched our<\/span> Subscribe & Save Program<\/span><\/a> to automatically deliver CBD products at a 20% discount.<\/span><\/p>\n
Without you, this would not have been possible.<\/span><\/p>\n
Additionally, your support allowed wholly-owned subsidiary Kannaway\u00ae, the first direct marketing company in the hemp space, to have its<\/span> largest-ever single month of revenue in July 2017<\/span><\/a> – and then again in August. Under the leadership of CEO Blake Schroeder, Kannaway\u00ae experienced<\/span> 18 straight months of growth<\/span><\/a>, topped off with a<\/span> 7-day luxury cruise<\/span><\/a> to the Mexican Riviera to celebrate more than 100 of its top brand ambassadors.<\/span><\/p>\n
Your support even had an impact across international borders in this regard. HempMeds\u00ae Mexico, our distribution branch in the country, also<\/span> experienced its largest month of revenue<\/span><\/a> in its history in August.<\/span><\/p>\n
In a monumental moment for<\/span> CBD<\/span><\/a>, our very own Raul Elizalde, President of MJNA subsidiary HempMeds\u00ae Mexico, was blessed with the opportunity to<\/span> address the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO)<\/span><\/a> in November to share his knowledge on CBD.<\/span><\/p>\n
Raul urged the WHO\u2019s Expert Committee on Drug Dependence (ECDD) to internationally classify the compound as a non-psychoactive nutritional supplement. Because you stepped up and shared with us <\/span>your own personal CBD stories<\/span><\/a>, Raul could share these testimonials with the WHO committee. Together, your efforts and Raul\u2019s speech may have significantly influenced the special committee\u2019s decision, which when announced later this year (per the WHO), will greatly impact who has legal access to CBD worldwide.

<\/p>\n
Your growing support and knowledge of cannabinoids allowed the MJNA family to continue spreading the message of the benefits of these compounds for all of us. We could host, attend, and sponsor cannabis-focused events around the world and we\u2019re thankful for every chance to spread awareness of CBD hemp oil and its benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n
Moreover, your patronage and readership gave MJNA the opportunity to sponsor and exhibit our award-winning line of CBD oil products at this year\u2019s<\/span> ExpoWeed Conference<\/span><\/a>, the largest cannabis conference in Mexico. We also were able to sign on as a premiere event sponsor for the<\/span> Americans for Safe Access (ASA) Unity Conference 2017<\/span><\/a>, where several members of our organization spoke on educational panels and actively lobbied lawmakers on cannabis reform.<\/span><\/p>\n
MJNA distribution company HempMeds\u00ae travelled to Carrollton, Texas to<\/span> sponsor the Run4Hope<\/span><\/a> to raise $25,000 for medical research into neurological conditions and honor the memory of Harper Howard. <\/span><\/p>\n
Again, your impact was felt internationally with further community outreach and education efforts. <\/span><\/p>\n
MJNA portfolio company HempMeds\u00ae Brasil was able to do the following: <\/span><\/p>\n
Your support even helped us spread a message that could impact the NFL. Former three-time NFL Pro-Bowler Nick Lowery came on this year as spokesman for MJNA\u2019s portfolio company, Kannalife<\/span>\u2122<\/span> Sciences, and<\/span> appeared<\/span><\/a> on many national and local media outlets, spreading word of the efforts of the company to develop a clinically approved cannabinoid treatment for chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).<\/span><\/p>\n
In this season of gratitude, we want to first express our sincerest appreciation to you, our readers and followers who have helped us grow over this year. Thousands of you are following us on <\/span>Facebook<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Instagram<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Twitter<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>YouTube<\/span><\/a>, and are making our educational, company, and industry news content a part of your every day. <\/span><\/p>\n
MJNA is thankful for its amazing team of employees, which grew by leaps and bounds to over 100 employees this year to keep pace with our growing business. A couple of<\/span> key executive hires<\/span><\/a> were made to fuel expansion into international markets. We brought in four new members of our marketing team, including Chief Marketing Officer<\/span> Stephen Jones<\/span><\/a>. We also welcomed <\/span>Justin Stephens<\/span><\/a> as Director of Member Support to assist Kannaway\u00ae\u2019s thousands of new brand ambassadors. <\/span><\/p>\n
This summer we also celebrated the<\/span> opening a new local office for HempMeds\u00ae Mexico in Monterrey<\/span><\/a>, and just recently we began adding to our office and<\/span> tripling our warehouse space<\/span><\/a> in San Diego.<\/span><\/p>\n
Your assistance in helping us advocate for more cannabis access to everyone allowed MJNA to<\/span> remodel our website<\/span><\/a> this year; the design was revamped to make room for new services. Your interest allowed us to fine-tune our website, which now features a new channel for investors as well as expanded cannabis news and education pages to serve as a home for all things cannabis.<\/span><\/p>\n
We\u2019re thankful that, again this year, access to legal cannabis continued expanding across the United States and throughout the world. In the U.S., West Virginia<\/span> became the 29<\/span>th<\/span> state<\/span><\/a> to legalize cannabis for medical purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n
In Mexico, low-THC<\/span> medical marijuana<\/span><\/a> was also<\/span> legalized<\/span><\/a>, a momentous occasion for the people of Mexico and our own Raul Elizalde, who was the first to sue the government so that his daughter Grace could legally access and use CBD therapeutically. HempMeds\u00ae Mexico also became the<\/span> first company ever to have a cannabis-based product subsidized<\/span><\/a> by a government in Mexico.<\/span><\/p>\n
In Brazil, where the government this year approved HempMeds\u00ae Brasil\u2019s Real Scientific Hemp Oil<\/span>\u2122<\/span> (RSHO<\/span>\u2122<\/span>) patients with<\/span> autism<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> multiple sclerosis<\/span><\/a>, and<\/span> Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/span><\/a>, a Federal Court<\/span> ruled<\/span><\/a> that the state of Santa Catarina must provide free CBD treatments to a merchant with epilepsy.<\/span><\/p>\n
Again, thank you.<\/span><\/p>\n
Last but certainly not least, MJNA is thankful for our incredible family of employees. We couldn’t have made the enormous strides we did this year without the amazing work of our warehouse staff, salespeople, customer service reps, product specialists, writers, photographers, designers, and executives, who come to work everyday passionate to share CBD and its natural wellness properties with the world.<\/span><\/p>\n
Medical Marijuana, Inc. wishes you, our consumers and followers, a Happy Thanksgiving Holiday. We are thankful for the chance to be your source for CBD and appreciate your business every day.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Also, HempMeds\u00ae Mexico was able to be a headline sponsor of this year\u2019s<\/span> VII World Congress in Anti-aging Medicine<\/span><\/a> in Mexico City, where it provided presentations by some of the most notable names in cannabis medicine.<\/span><\/p>\n
