SAN DIEGO, Nov. 28, 2018 — Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC:MJNA), the first-ever publicly traded cannabis company in the United States, today announced that its subsidiary Phyto Animal Health has signed an agreement with national distribution leader Mr. Checkout to distribute its line of cannabidiol (CBD) hemp oil pet products to thousands of members of the Independent Pet Retailer Association.
Established in 1989, Mr. Checkout is a national group of Independent Direct Store Delivery Distributors, Full-Line Grocery Distributors and Wagon-Jobbers, representing products at over 60 major retailers. Its distribution network services over 35,000 retailers across the United States, Canada and parts of the Caribbean. In addition, Mr. Checkout has worked with ABC’s Shark Tank to help vet products either before they’re on the show or afterwards when the deal has closed.
“We are elated to partner with Mr. Checkout to distribute our hemp pet products to thousands of new retailers,” said Phyto Animal Health CEO Ian Quinn. “We are constantly seeking opportunities to expand our reach and we trust this deal will help us increase access to CBD and raise awareness about the many health and wellness benefits of CBD for companion animals.”
Phyto Animal Health offers a line of CBD hemp oil supplements including tinctures, treats and concentrates for cats, dogs and horses. CBD hemp oil has been researched by top veterinarians for cardiovascular, pain management, orthopedic, and mental health in animals.
“We are honored to partner with an ethical and environmentally conscious company such as Phyto Animal Health,” said Mr. Checkout CEO Joel Goldstein. “We believe this partnership will be both lucrative and rewarding as we distribute the company’s all-natural, sustainable products to thousands of independent retailers throughout North America.”
