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 HempMeds® Brasil has been featured across several major press outlets in Brazil including an interview with Folha de S. Paulo, the largest newspaper in the country, regarding the product launch of its new 6,000 mg CBD product as now the best cost-benefit CBD product in Brazil.

The article recently published in Folha de S. Paulo entitled, “Maguila Controls Degenerative Disease with Cannabidiol and Uses Social Networks to Maintain Lives,” details the role HempMeds® Brasil is playing in the boxer’s treatment of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy. The story was also picked up via syndication by additional large outlets in Brazil including Boa Forma, Terra, O Tempo, and Hypeness, among others.

“We are thrilled that our products are enhancing lives and making a significant difference in the world,” said HempMeds® Brasil Executive Director Matheus Patelli. “It is such a privilege to be in a position to provide relief to anyone let alone someone as well known as Maguila, and we are honored to have been highlighted in Brazil’s most popular newspaper.”

The company also celebrates two recent major television broadcast features, the first being an emotional testimonial by HempMeds Brasil’s reception manager, Fernanda Camarota, on her son’s treatment, on "Bom Dia Você,” from RedeTV, the 5th largest television channel in Brazil. The second was an interview with Pan-American Cannabis Association’s president, Dr. Rubens Wajnsztejn, about autism treatments given to SBT's branch on Santa Catarina state, Brazil’s second largest television outlet.

Awaiting publication are two recent feature interviews with HempMeds Brasil for Bloomberg Brazil and Veja, one of Brazil’s biggest magazines.

“We are so proud of the work we are doing in Brazil. There’s no doubt that by enabling free access to people all across the country, our team is involved in vastly improving lives in Brazil, furthering our mission to drive positive global change,” Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Blake Schroeder said.
