It was an extremely touching moment and a moment of historic importance, signifying the true end of the failed \u2018War on Drugs\u2019. We look forward to doing our very best to continue to help the people of Mexico to achieve access to all cannabinoids and cannabinoid products that may further their health and wellness.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Since the historic decision by the government of Mexico, coverage of Medical Marijuana, Inc. and RSHO-X\u2122 has included:<\/span><\/p>\n CSNNews.com:
