SAN DIEGO, Sept. 29, 2017 —\u00a0Medical Marijuana, Inc.\u00a0(OTC:MJNA<\/a>), the first publicly traded cannabis company in the United States, today announced that portfolio company\u00a0KannaLife Sciences<\/a>‘ new spokesman Nick Lowery and former Kansas City Chiefs placekicker, generated a massive amount of media coverage across the United States about the dangers of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE).<\/p>\n

CTE is a degenerative neurological disease caused by repeated head trauma and only diagnosable with certainty in post-mortem examinations and can lead to symptoms like violent mood swings, depression and other cognitive difficulties. Because there is not much known about this debilitating disease, treatment and prevention options are bleak.<\/p>\n

A September 26, 2017 interview with\u00a0Fox Business’\u00a0<\/a>Varney & Co<\/a>., discussed current research on the diagnosis and treatment of CTE, and its relationship to professional sports organizations such as the NFL. Lowery also interviewed with CBS show\u00a0Tiki and Tierney<\/a>, where he discussed the applications of CTE prevention to other cases outside of the NFL, such as patients involved in traumatic car accidents. This was an interview that host Tierney described as “one of the most important interviews we’ve had on the show.”<\/p>\n

“It’s encouraging to see the widespread national discussion about CTE research and treatment. We are always proud to be at the forefront of groundbreaking news that has the capacity to positively impact the world. A goal of our company has been to provide an alternative health-and-wellness awareness to the largest audience possible,” said CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc. Dr. Stuart Titus. “We are thrilled to have Nick Lowery on board as spokesperson for Kannalife Sciences. Nick brings real world experience to our CTE efforts as well as incredible passion to find a solution for many ex-athletes who are suffering in the later stages of life.”<\/p>\n

Additionally, Nick discussed the topic of CTE with these other media outlets:<\/p>\n
