NEW YORK, August 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
According to a research report by Mordor Intelligence, the global cannabis market was valued at USD 7.7
Billion in 2016 and is expected to reach USD 65 Billion by 2023 while registering a healthy
CAGR of 37% during the forecast period. The strong growth is attributed to the continued legalization of cannabis use for medical
and recreational purposes across various states in the U.S. Currently, North America accounts
for more than 95% of the global cannabis market, with the U.S. itself alone making up more than 90% of the North American and the
global market. Chineseinvestors.com Inc. (OTC: CIIX), CV Sciences Inc. (OTC: CVSI), Medicine Man Technologies Inc. (OTC: MDCL),

A major portion of the legal cannabis market is the industrial hemp segment. According to Grand View Research, the global
industrial hemp market size was estimated at USD 3.9 Billion in 2017 and will be expanding at a
CAGR of 14.0% over the forecast period of 2018 - 2025. "The political link between industrial hemp and marijuana has resulted in
several restrictions on hemp cultivation, processing, distribution, and consumption across the globe. However, increasing
liberalization and legalization of hemp cultivation with THC content not more than 0.3 in several countries is expected to have a
positive impact on market growth," the research states.
Chineseinvestors.com Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) just earlier today announced breaking news that, "its wholly owned subsidiary,
ChineseHempOil.com Inc. will hold a seminar at its flagship retail store, Chinese Wellness Center, located at 227 West Valley
Blvd. #208-B in San Gabriel, CA., covering "The Health Benefits of Hemp Oil," featuring Chinese
Medicine Practitioner Amin Wang.
ChineseHempOil.com Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ChineseInvestors.com, Inc., is responsible for the online and retail
sales of hemp-based health products in the United States and has been building awareness for its
"Opt Hemp" brand among Chinese consumers in the U.S. since its establishment in April 2017. In
June 2017, the Company officially opened its first retail location known as Chinese Wellness Center
and launched its website http://www.chinesehempoil.com . Chinese Wellness Center is located in the predominantly Chinese community
of San Gabriel, California, directly adjacent to the Company's headquarters. In July 2017, the Company established a club-style Hemp Education Center to provide community-centered education
and outreach about the potential benefits of hemp, which has roots in ancient Chinese medicine, and hemp-derived CBD, which is
believed by many to have positive balancing effects on the mind and body.
The Hemp Education Center at Chinese Wellness Center hosts regular events designed to cement its status as a resource for the
local Chinese community. The August 18 th Seminar will be the fourth seminar for 2018.
'We are pleased with the positive feedback we receive from customers regarding both our educational events and our amazing
hemp-based products,' says Nina Wang, General Manager of ChineseHempOil.com Inc.
Most recently, ChineseHempOil.com Inc. kicked off a print and radio ad campaign beginning with placements in the World Journal
in Los Angeles and a three-month radio campaign airing on Chinese-language radio in New York, NY. To promote seminar attendance, the Company is also conducting a call center awareness
campaign, which will reach out to consumers living in the predominantly Chinese residential areas of the San Gabriel Valley and
surrounding areas, home to approximately 525,000 Asian-Americans, with Chinese being the largest group.
In addition to ChineseHempOil.com Inc.'s established retail store, Chinese Wellness Center, and its website http://www.chinesehempoil.com , its OptHemp products can also be purchased at
over 200 retail shops in the Los Angeles area."

revenue growth as we conclude our second consecutive profitable quarter," Brett Roper, Medicine
Man Technologies' co-founder, and Chief Executive Officer stated. "After considerable preparation, we are pleased to be applying
to move the Company to QX status on the OTC markets, which we expect to finalize during the third quarter of 2018. This
