SAN DIEGO, Jan. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA) (the “Company”), the first-ever publicly traded cannabis company in the United States that launched the world’s first-ever cannabis-derived nutraceutical products, brands and supply chain, announced today that its subsidiary Kannaway® has been named the Most Popular Cannabidiol (CBD) MLM Company in HealthMJ’s new 2020 list. Additionally, Kannaway® has been listed among the Top 100 MLM Companies of 2020 by Business for Home.
“As the first Company to offer CBD products through a direct selling channel in 2014, it’s exciting to be acknowledged as a top leader in the industry still today,” said Kannaway® CEO Blake Schroeder. “The CBD industry has experienced transformational growth over the past year, especially with the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill, and it’s been a tremendous experience to see Kannaway innovate and establish many of the quality and safety standards needed for the market to thrive.”
A recent Brightfield Group report shows that more than 50 percent of CBD consumers in the U.S. first learn about CBD from friends or family, making direct selling companies a perfect fit for the CBD industry.
