SAN DIEGO, Feb. 5, 2019 — Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC:MJNA), the first publicly traded cannabis company in the United States, today announced that its subsidiary HempMeds® Brasil hosted its second Cannabinoid Medicine course on Feb. 1, 2019, at the HempMeds® Brasil office in São Paulo.
The objective of the course, which was attended by doctors of many specialties, was to help educate on how cannabis interacts with the human body, the different treatment possibilities using cannabinoids and how cannabidiol (CBD) has the potential to help improve the wellbeing of Brazilians. The class was taught by Dr. Joaquim Daniel, Dr. Paula Vinha, Dr. Ailane Araujo, Cannabis Regulation Specialist Ricardo Handro, HempMeds® Brasil Director of Medical Affairs Dr. Junior Gibelli, HempMeds® Institutional Relations Director Norberto Fischer, and HempMeds® Vice President Caroline Heinz.

“Our Company aims to continue to be leaders in cannabis education with influential events like this one that bring doctors together to discuss the benefits of CBD,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc.
