Dateline NBC Segment Features Medical Marijuana, Inc. Portfolio Company Kannalife Sciences

SAN DIEGO, May 22, 2018 — Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC:MJNA) announced today that portfolio company Kannalife Sciences, Inc. (“Kannalife”), a bio-pharmaceutical and phyto-medical company, was featured in a Dateline NBC segment discussing how their research on cannabidiol (CBD)-like molecules could potentially change the landscape for various ailments including chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and the opioid epidemic.

The May 20, 2018, segment entitled “Growing Promise” took an in-depth look into Kannalife Sciences and their groundbreaking research investigating whether the Company’s proprietary CBD-like molecules can help change the medical landscape and offer several new treatments for specific ailments.

“We are honored to be featured in this Dateline NBC special and thankful to be able to educate people on the therapeutic benefits of cannabinoids and how companies like Kannalife are working to conduct the necessary research on cannabinoid-like molecules to bring new drugs to market,” said Kannalife Sciences CEO Dean Petkanas. “We are excited to have such great exposure and look forward to sharing many more updates on our research in the future.”

A significant portion of this segment focused on the problem of CTE, a degenerative neurological disease caused by repeated head trauma that can lead to symptoms like violent mood swings, depression and other cognitive difficulties. Currently, CTE can only be definitively diagnosed by direct tissue examination after death. Because there is not much known about this debilitating disease, treatment and prevention options are bleak.

Kannalife currently holds two licenses, one of them exclusive, with the National Institutes of Health (NIH) for the Commercialization of U.S. Patent #6630507, “Cannabinoids as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants,” to research Hepatic Encephalopathy (HE) and CTE.
