New Ruling Helps Move Mexico Closer to Cannabis Legalization in the Country
SAN DIEGO, CA–(Marketwired – December 14, 2016) – Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC PINK: MJNA), the first-ever publicly traded cannabis company in the United States, announced today that it commends the Mexican senate for voting in favor of extending regulations for certain cannabis products. With the new regulations, more people in need of cannabis and cannabidiol (CBD) for medical care will have more access to products, including our RSHO brand of products.
Medical Marijuana, Inc. subsidiary HempMeds® Mexico’s non-psychoactive, THC-free hemp-based CBD product Real Scientific Hemp Oil-X™ (RSHO-X™) was the first-ever federally approved CBD product in Mexico. Now with the new regulations, it’s a goal for HempMeds® Mexico to bring all their RSHO products into the country to help more customers and provide options.
“These new regulations in Mexico will be a major step forward for the country once they pass the Mexico House of Representatives then signed fully into law. This will also represent a major accomplishment for the cannabis industry as a whole. We are very happy with the outcome and trend that the Mexican Senate put forward with this vote,” stated Chief Executive Officer of Medical Marijuana, Inc., Dr. Stuart Titus. “Our Company has always supported access to all cannabinoids, as we recognize the potential medical advantages they can provide.
“We believe this new legislation in Mexico will increase access to additional cannabis-based products and we will continue encouraging further cannabis reforms by educating doctors and lawmakers on the benefits of cannabinoids — then creating products that can safely and reliably provide our customers with the cannabinoids they seek,” added Dr. Titus.
The new law approves the use of marijuana with therapeutic and medicinal use, with the reforms through General Health Law. This law will allow the access to cannabis based products to treat chronic and degenerative diseases. This law is yet to be approved by the House of Representative, which may be next year.
