Medical Marijuana Inc. and LiveWire Ergogenics Inc. Sign Memorandum of Understanding to Develop HempWire, LLC

Companies Enter $200+ Billion Global Market With First-Ever CBD-Rich Hemp Oil-Infused Functional Foods; Domestic Launch Through Thousands of Retailers, Wholesalers, and Distributors

SAN DIEGO, March 20, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC Pink:MJNA) is pleased to inform shareholders and the general public it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to develop a joint venture with LiveWire Ergogenics, Inc. (OTCQB:LVVV) under the name of HempWire, LLC. This MOU enters Medical Marijuana Inc. into the functional foods market with immediate distribution through LiveWire’s extensive chain of existing convenience store retailers, grocery stores, and pharmacy chain stores. Research indicates that the overall global functional foods market is valued at $221.58bn in 2014.

The supply chain will begin with HempMedsPX™, a corporate portfolio company of Medical Marijuana, Inc. and the contracted marketing company that distributes non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD)-rich hemp oil products nationwide. LiveWire will purchase these hemp oil products from HempMedsPX™ then manufacture and package CBD-rich hemp oil-infused functional foods. These first-of-their-kind functional food products from HempWire will include a CBD-rich hemp oil taffy-like consistency chewable square. HempWire will distribute this new product leveraging both LiveWire’s and Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s existing network of retailers, resellers, wholesalers and distributors.

“LiveWire has extensively researched the medical marijuana industry, and we find Medical Marijuana, Inc. to have the greatest credibility,” said Bill Hodson, CEO of LiveWire Ergogenics, Inc. “We believe our collaborative effort to develop HempWire has the potential to reshape functional foods. We provide precise dosage, consistency and world class manufacturing. Medical Marijuana, Inc., in our opinion, has the best research, industry experts, and regulatory compliance officers. The manufacturing will be done through LiveWire Ergogenics, and we will manage our distribution portion of HempWire through our Herbaceuticals division.”

“Signing the MOU to develop HempWire with LiveWire begins the process to create an entirely new market for CBD-rich hemp oil-infused functional foods,” commented Michelle Sides, Chief Operating Officer of Medical Marijuana, Inc. “As we continue to develop new products for emerging markets, establishing an appropriate manufacturing relationship for this new market was the natural next step in the process. Medical Marijuana, Inc. selected LiveWire because they are an established manufacturer that can provide our customers with the same consistency and quality that they have come to expect from our company.”
