Medical Marijuana, Inc. Subsidiary HempMeds® Brasil Sponsors International Autistic Week in Ribeirao Preto, Brazil

SAN DIEGO, April 1, 2019 — Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC:MJNA), the first publicly traded cannabis company in the United States, today announced that its subsidiary HempMeds® Brasil will be sponsoring TEAbraco 2019 International Autism Week from April 1 to April 7 at the Iguatemi Mall in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil.

“As a company, we see events like this one as prime opportunities to educate the people of Brazil about the history of medical cannabis, the difference between hemp and marijuana and our cannabidiol (CBD) products and their potential benefits,” said HempMeds® Vice President Caroline Heinz. “In Brazil, CBD is legal to be imported and is even subsidized by the Brazilian Government for several indications including autism. We hope to inform people at the event of this because even though legislation passed a few years ago, there are still many citizens who don’t know that they may already be eligible to receive CBD at no cost.”

In addition to sponsoring the event, HempMeds® Brasil will host an educational seminar on April 4 from 6:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. where attendees can learn about the medical cannabis market in Brazil, how CBD interacts with the body and the global landscape of medical cannabis. Executives such as HempMeds® Director of Medical Affairs Junior Gibelli, Endocannabinoid System Researcher Dr. Aliane Araujo, Neurologist Dr. Paula Vinha and Neuropediatician at the Albert Einstein Hospital Dr. Abram Topczewski will be presenting as well as taking questions from attendees.

On April 5, HempMeds® Brasil will host a CBD workshop lead by child psychiatrist Dr. Murielle Moura, who has a background in treating autism and other neurodevelopment disorders, for researchers and doctors to learn about how CBD interacts with the brain. The event will feature other workshops on April 5-6 with top international speakers and more than 400 lectures.

“Our Brazilian subsidiary is very active in the medical and scientific communities and has a strong background in providing the education citizens need to understand how to incorporate medical cannabis into their lives and professions,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus. “Medical Marijuana, Inc. is very proud to be the first U.S. company to legally export CBD products to Brazil and, as evidenced by the company’s participation in this event, plans to continue to be a leader in the Brazilian medical cannabis industry.”

TEAbraco 2019 International Autism Week will feature a well-rounded program of art exhibitions, free lectures given by top professionals and experts, presentations and demonstrations from scientific and medical researchers and training courses aimed at providing tools that families living with autism could use to improve their everyday lives.
