SAN DIEGO<\/span>,\u00a0Aug. 14, 2017<\/span>\u00a0—\u00a0Medical Marijuana, Inc.\u00a0(OTC:MJNA), the first publicly traded cannabis company in\u00a0the United States<\/span>, today announced that its subsidiary\u00a0HempMeds\u00ae Brasil<\/a>\u00a0is holding a sold-out doctor symposium in\u00a0Sao Paulo, Brazil<\/span>, dedicated to providing the Brazilian medical community with information about the medical value of cannabidiol (CBD), how to legally import CBD into the country and prescribe it for patients and present CBD clinical study results.<\/p>\n

The symposium, which will take place at the Renaissance Hotel in\u00a0Sao Paulo<\/span>\u00a0on\u00a0August 15<\/span>, is part of the Company’s goal to educate health professionals on the therapeutic uses of cannabis and will feature renowned medical experts and pioneers in the field like Dr.\u00a0Saul Garza Morales<\/span>, pediatric researcher and neurologist in\u00a0Mexico<\/span>, and Dr.\u00a0Stuart Titus<\/span>, Chief Executive Officer of Medical Marijuana, Inc. Both will share on the specific therapeutic benefits of CBD, as well as gaining access to medical cannabis for improving health and quality of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Dr. Garza will also share the positive results of a recent study he conducted on the effects of Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s Real Scientific Hemp Oil-X\u2122 (RSHO-X\u2122) product in treating children with severe epilepsy, in which 86 percent of the 29 patients he studied experienced statistically significant (greater than 50%) reduction in motor seizures. Seventeen percent of the children were fully seizure free for a 4-month period.<\/p>\n

“We are encouraged that this second doctor symposium that we are holding in\u00a0Brazil<\/span>\u00a0is completely sold out, which means health professionals throughout the Country are becoming increasingly interested in how they can prescribe CBD hemp oil products to their patients and learn about the plethora of benefits that medical cannabis provides to treat several types of indications,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr.\u00a0Stuart Titus<\/span>. “We look forward to continuing educating and working with Brazilian doctors to strengthen the lives and livelihoods of those in\u00a0Brazil<\/span>\u00a0who suffer needlessly in silence and to provide additional research on the therapeutic benefits of botanical CBD.”<\/p>\n

HempMeds Brasil\u2122<\/a>\u00a0is the first company to offer legal medicinal cannabis products to\u00a0Brazil\u00a0after receiving import approval to those suffering from specific medical conditions.
