SAN DIEGO, Dec. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ — Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC:MJNA), the first-ever publicly traded cannabis company in the United States, today announced that subsidiary HempMeds® Mexico generated the largest-ever revenue month in the history of the company in November of 2017, as well as reached major milestones in its business operations.
HempMeds® Mexico is Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s distribution branch in the country, focusing on providing non-psychoactive cannabidiol products to the people in Mexico. HempMeds® Mexico was the first company to have a medical cannabis product approved for import into Mexico, a country that is in the process of restructuring their policies regarding cannabis.
In order to import its CBD hemp oil to Mexico, the Company had to develop a product completely free of THC. They achieved this by isolating the CBD within its hemp oil, thus eliminating the trace amounts of THC in its hemp oil to make RSHO-X™.
In November, the company’s president, Raul Elizalde, spoke to the United Nations at the World Health Organization’s Expert Committee Meeting on Drug Dependence, where he urged top global leaders not to schedule CBD as a drug, but rather as a supplement. His appearance gained international media attention and raised awareness for the global need for the expansion of access to CBD.
Elizalde also represented HempMeds® Mexico at the Second International Fair on Medical Cannabis in Colombia. There, he spoke to patients and doctors about the Company’s success and how its products may provide therapeutic benefits to Colombian citizens.
“Our success in Mexico is tremendously important to the Medical Marijuana, Inc. portfolio of companies as we continue to expand our international reach,” said HempMeds® Mexico President, Raul Elizalde. “Mexico has experienced many CBD regulation changes this year and we’re proud to come out of them on top.”
This December, Mexican health authorities will publish cannabis regulations for the Mexican market, creating many new investment opportunities and allowing cannabis research to be conducted and cannabis products to be distributed as medicines, herbal remedies, supplements and food.
