SAN DIEGO, Oct. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), the first-ever publicly traded
cannabis company in the United States, announced today that its subsidiary Kannaway® has garnered international news coverage
in leading industry publication Direct Selling News.
An Oct. 1 Direct Selling News article entitled "Of Stalk And Stem — Kannaway's
Growth Story" discusses Kannaway's rapid growth as the first direct selling company to sell cannabidiol (CBD) products
around the world, highlighting the company's wide range of hemp products, including CBD oil supplements, CBD-infused skincare,
hemp-based clothing and CBD pet products. The article features commentary and cites quotes from a Kannaway® executive explaining
the popularity of CBD and the rapid growth trajectory of both the company and the industry as a whole.
"We are thrilled to have our growth story highlighted in this prestigious publication," said Kannaway® Chief Executive Officer
Blake Schroeder. "Expanding our network of Brand Ambassadors and customer base, as well as
increasing public knowledge about CBD will continue to be at the forefront of the company's vision."
Kannaway® is the first hemp lifestyle network to legally offer hemp-based botanical CBD wellness products. Last month, the
company announced that the second quarter of 2018 was the largest-ever sales revenue quarter in its history as a result of its
aggressive expansion plans throughout international markets such as Europe. The company's monthly revenue has grown more
than 60 times since the re-launch of Kannaway® in March, 2016.
"It's incredible to see Kannaway recognized for its rapid revenue growth and dedication to cannabis education in the U.S. and
throughout the world," said Medical Marijuana, Inc. Chief Executive Officer Dr. Stuart Titus.
"With the U.S. hemp market poised to reach $1 billion by next year, we are poised to remain at the
forefront of the CBD industry."
