Medical Marijuana, Inc. Celebrates Mexico\u2019s Access To RSHO-X\u2122 Cannabidiol (CBD) Hemp Oil; Historic Occasion Results in Global News Coverage <\/b> \n\tDr. Stuart W. Titus, PhD and Chief Executive Office of Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC Pink: MJNA) states, \u201cThe document that Abelardo now holds represents one thing: freedom. It is freedom for Alina, Maria Paula, and millions of residents of Mexico. We celebrate the decision by the government of Mexico to allow their people the freedom to access RSHO-X\u2122 CBD hemp oil.\u201d<\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Hemp and marijuana are in the cannabis species and there are more than 85 cannabinoids that make up each plant.

Access to this product has not been easy but, with their victories, the families of Grace, Alina and Maria Paula have made it easier for the more than 120 million residents of Mexico to also gain an import permit.<\/span> \n\tDr. Titus concludes, \u201cThis is an historic day for the citizens of Mexico as well as for Medical Marijuana, Inc, its shareholders and team.
