SAN DIEGO, CA \u2013 October 27, 2015<\/strong> \u2013 Real Scientific Hemp OilTM<\/sup> (RSHOTM<\/sup>), made by Medical Marijuana,\u00a0Inc.<\/a> (OTC Pink: MJNA), is making headline news as the U.S.\u2019s first and largest legal hemp-based cannabis\u00a0export. As reported by ABC 10 News, the all-natural, non-GMO hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) oil product is\u00a0now approved by the government of Brazil for import with approved in-country documentation. This historic\u00a0shift in international cannabis law has made Brazil the largest single client for the San Diego-based company.<\/p>\n \u201cSan Diego is becoming a major hub for these hemp CBD products,\u201d states Stuart W. Titus, PhD and Chief\u00a0Executive Officer of Medical Marijuana, Inc., in the ABC 10 News interview.<\/p>\n The major change in international cannabis regulations is due to two little girls, Harper Howard age 5 and Anny\u00a0Fischer age 6, from the U.S. and Brazil. Their mothers connected through the Hope4Harper.com Facebook\u00a0support group for the rare genetic disorder: CDKL5 epilepsy. MJNA\u2019s CBD hemp oil products are readily\u00a0available in and ship to all U.S. states, territories, and districts. In contrast, hemp oil products are handled quite\u00a0differently in Brazil and what resulted from the mothers\u2019 online connection led to a new chapter in world history.<\/p>\n The Brazilian government, until recently, viewed anything made from cannabis \u2013 including non-psychoactive\u00a0hemp \u2013 as illegal and, therefore, a controlled substance. The US has allowed hemp based products \u2013 hemp\u00a0seed, hemp oil and hemp protein powder since the late 1990\u2019s and a federal court ruling upheld this allowance\u00a0of hemp nutritional products.<\/p>\n After hearing the testimony of the Fischer family and their daughter Anny\u2019s need for RSHO, however, a\u00a0Brazilian Federal Judge deemed it \u201cinhumane\u201d to keep it (RSHO hemp oil) from the little girl \u2013 as it was helping\u00a0to alleviate the potentially fatal condition when no pharmaceutical medications were working . Then, after a\u00a0series of historic rulings, ANVISA removed CBD from Brazil\u2019s prohibited substance use<\/a> list, removed the import\u00a0tax<\/a> and is actively subsidizing the cost for those who need financial assistance.<\/p>\n Dr. Titus concludes, \u201cThe development opens up a potential future multimillion-dollar CBD hemp oil pipeline\u00a0from San Diego to Brazil.\u201d<\/p>\n Hemp is widely regarded as a \u201cwhole food\u201d and \u201csuper food.\u201d MJNA<\/a>\u2019s cannabidiol (CBD) hemp oil<\/a> is derived\u00a0from the mature stalk of the hemp plant and is considered a food nutrient delivering the benefits of\u00a0cannabinoids without the psychotropic\/euphoric effects of THC.
