SAN DIEGO, Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), the first publicly traded
cannabis company in the United States, today announced the historic registration of
its Real Scientific Hemp Oil-X™
(RSHO-X™) and RSHO™-Blue Label products as registered medicines by Paraguay's national
health regulation organization (Dirección Nacional de Vigilancia Sanitaria).
"We are a Company of firsts and we are excited about this new historic milestone of being the first company to have a CBD
product registered in Paraguay," said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus.
"We have actively pursued getting our pipeline of botanical cannabis products registered and approved as therapeutic products
in countries around the world, which opens the ability for international pharmacies and healthcare providers to distribute
cannabis products to patients," added Dr. Titus. "This is yet another example of the international trend of acceptance of CBD for
therapeutic use, and we are continually encouraged by the decisions of governments and regulators to permit use of cannabis and
CBD products for patients suffering from multiple indications - especially where conventional medicine has had modest
or limited effects."
Paraguay's official registration of Medical Marijuana, Inc.'s CBD hemp oil products marks the
first country that has registered and approved the Company's products as medicinal products. Currently, Medical Marijuana, Inc.'s
CBD hemp oil products have been used in Paraguay with medical indications ranging from cancer,
pain, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy and various other neurological diseases.
Prior to becoming registered as official medicines, in May of 2016, Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ became the first medical
cannabis product approved and imported for use in Paraguay for compassionate use with a
prescription and government permission. This event marked the third time in a little over a year that RSHO™ was the first
cannabis product approved in a Latin American country, following the lead of Brazil and
Mexico.
