[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Medical Marijuana, Inc. portfolio company and its flagship brand RSHO\u2122 were featured in recent Telemundo piece about government\u2019s purchase of CBD oil. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][vc_video link=”https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fsxobkBJqZU&feature=youtu.be”][vc_column_text]HempMeds\u00ae Mexico made headlines across Latin America last month when its products were purchased by the government of Mexico for 11 patients there, making Real Scientific Hemp Oil\u2122 the first product ever to be subsidized by the Mexican government. <\/span><\/p>\n The announcement was first made at the opening of a new clinic located in the city of Ecatepec on August 17, 2017. Eruviel Avila, the State of Mexico\u2019s governor, distributed the RSHO-X\u2122products purchased by the state to the 11 patients. The event, including the distribution of the products, was <\/span>covered prominently<\/span><\/a> in national and international media for weeks after the event. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n As part of their recent coverage, Telemundo visited the Medical Marijuana, Inc. offices in downtown San Diego to speak with Jose Garcia Prieto, a representative of HempMeds\u00ae Mexico, who explained to the station\u2019s viewers what CBD is and how it can be used to help treat epilepsy, as well as a number of other medical conditions. <\/span><\/p>\n In Mexico, CBD oil products, like those from HempMeds\u00ae Mexico, are available as medications, requiring a doctor\u2019s prescription and authorization from the health authority in Mexico. Cofepris first authorized special import certificates on February 2, 2016, following months of pressure by citizens in Mexico and a groundbreaking court case. This led to THC-free RSHO-X\u2122 becoming the <\/span>first cannabis-based products<\/span><\/a> to be accepted for use by the Mexican government. The approval of THC-free products in Mexico was the first step towards <\/span>Mexico\u2019s legalization of medical cannabis<\/span><\/a> this summer. <\/span><\/p>\n
