HempMedsPX is Gold Sponsor of East Coast’s Largest Natural and Organic Products Trade Show

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC Pink:MJNA) is pleased to inform shareholders and the general public that HempMedsPX—a corporate portfolio company of Medical Marijuana Inc. and the exclusive master distributor and contracted marketing company for CannaVest Corp. and Medical Marijuana Inc.—will be representing both MJNA and US Hemp Oil as Gold Sponsor of Natural Products Expo East in Baltimore, MD from September 25-28, 2013.

Natural and organic products are a $69 billion industry and are sold in nearly every retail channel. Natural Products Expo East is the second-largest natural product show in the United States (only Natural Products Expo West is larger), with over 25,000 expected attendees, of which approximately 10,000 will be buyers. As Gold Sponsor of Natural Products Expo East, HempMedsPX (and US Hemp Oil) will be entitled to a variety of benefits and visibility throughout the event including, but not limited to: product displays in three showcase spaces and “Featured Company” information listed in the online show directory. In addition, HempMedsPX will be highlighted as a Gold Sponsor in all marketing areas: on-site signage, website, attendee brochures, and expo advertisements.

The HempMedsPX booth will showcase four brands—including two new product lines. The two brand-new product lines are from US Hemp Oil and include:

Cibaderm: The world’s first hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) personal care line. Cibaderm is all natural and uses organic steam-distilled botanicals and CBD-rich hemp oil in all of their products: shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, hand cream, body wash, and a moisturizing salve.

Cibdex is a hemp CBD-based herbal supplement line of naturally-flavored drops. The drops will be offered in 100 mg and 500 mg CBD concentrations. The Cibdex line will also include a CBD-rich hemp oil salve and CBD-rich hemp oil herbal supplements.
“It’s about getting healthy, not high,” said Chris Boucher, Vice President of Product Development for HempMedsPX. “Cibaderm and Cibdex in particular offer truly novel ways to get your daily CBD and to supplement your endocannabinoid system.”

HempMedsPX will also showcase flagship products CanChew gum and Real Scientific Hemp Oil (RSHO). The four product lines will be the first hemp CBD products featured at a trade show of this kind. Natural Products Expo East will feature over 1,600 exhibitors from the natural and organic industries and several keynote speakers over four days.

“This is a unique and valuable opportunity to bring hemp cannabidiol products to the superstars of the natural and organic industry,” said Charles Vest, Director of Communications for HempMedsPX. “We are excited for this opportunity to introduce hemp-based CBD products to the mainstream marketplace.”
