Phyto Animal Health Introduces CBD for Pets

Phyto Animal Health also carries all-natural hemp animal bedding and litter.

In regards to the companies launch, Medical Marijuana, Inc. President and CEO Dr. Stuart Titus said, “We’ve seen the popularity of our CBD products for humans grow significantly in recent years and look forward to achieving the same type of success in the animal health and wellness market.”

Puerto Rico Approves HempMeds® CBD Oil Products

Medical Marijuana, Inc. announced that its portfolio company HempMeds® has had its CBD hemp oil products approved for distribution throughout the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, making it the first cannabis-based product to be approved for sale in the territory.

“We are pleased with the decision to reinstate the registration of HempMeds products in Puerto Rico, as we can now continue providing the more than 3.6 million residents of this territory with CBD hemp oil products that are helping people around the world,” said Dr. Titus. “We are extremely proud to have been the first company to provide the people of Puerto Rico with CBD hemp oil products, especially after the World Health Organization’s recent recommendation not to schedule CBD.”

Puerto Rico first reversed its decision to allow Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s products in the territory, citing federal cannabis laws. The government in Puerto Rico has since again changed its stance, allowing our Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ products to be sold in the country, even pushing back against the federal government in favor of medical cannabis.  

“This change constitutes a regression provoked by the lack of knowledge of what scientific evidence shows about the benefits of cannabis in the health of citizens who suffer from certain conditions,” Puerto Rico’s Governor Ricardo Rosselló said in response to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ decision to pursue action against legal medical marijuana.
