PSIQ POSITIONED TO SUBSTANTIALLY EXPAND ITS HEMP BASED CBD OPERATION WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE 2018 FARM
BILL
PSIQ SEEKS TO JUMP TO THE TOP TIER OF HEMP BASED CBD COMPANIES WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE 2018 FARM
BILL
SUNRISE, Fla., Dec. 18, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Profile Solutions, Inc. (OTC Pink: PSIQ) announces it is pleased to join
the industry in applauding the Senate and House for passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, awaiting the expected President’s signature this
week. While PSIQ expands globally, it has also positioned itself to grow rapidly within the USA, amid the passage of the Farm
Bill, giving it a competitive advantage by way of early to market.
Some recent developments outlined below as follows:
- Initial Approval to establish an Exclusive growing farm and processing plant for medical Cannabis & Hemp in the Kingdom of
eSwatini
- Filing of Form S-1 as First Step in Uplisting to OTCQB
- Acquisition of Exclusive Distribution Rights to Cheech & Chong Men’s Grooming Products for brick & mortar in the United
States and Israel
- Exclusive Distribution Rights for Mexico and Argentina With First Year Minimum Guarantee of $500,000
- Signed agreement with Saboneto Soap Company to Exclusively Produce Hemp Infused Natural Soap
- PSIQ Reports Record Breaking September 30th, 2018 Nine Month Revenue Increase of 850% as compared to 2017 Nine Month
Revenue
With the passage of the Farm Bill, PSIQ plans to rapidly expand within the USA in addition to global expansion. The House of
Representatives passed the final version of a massive Farm Bill on Wednesday December 13th, 2018, clearing a major,
must-pass item from the legislative agenda before the end of the year and the start of the next congressional session. The
bill, which passed both the House and Senate with strong bipartisan support, next heads to President Donald Trump's desk for his
signature. In the Senate, the vote on Tuesday December 12th 2018 was 87-13, and in the House, it was
369-47. Negotiators also agreed to include legislation that would legalize industrial Hemp, a significant development
for producers of cannabidiol, or CBD oil.
Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell referenced that this bill removes industrial Hemp from the federal
government's list of controlled substances, making it a lawful agricultural commodity. But of interest to public
cannabis companies is the bill's implications for the U.S. market for cannabidiol, a "non-psychoactive" chemical found in Hemp and
Marijuana. According to industry analysts, this new version creates far more certainty around the legality of the
commercial sale of Hemp-derived products (with less than 0.3 percent THC, namely CBD), and clarifies the legality of interstate
commerce.
Industry publication Hemp Business Journal estimates the total retail value of hemp products sold in the U.S. in
2017 to be at least $820 million, with help derived CBD products constituting 23 percent of sales. CBD products,
such as PSIQ’s family of products that include the non-psychoactive compound CBD, cannabidiol are used for a wide range of medical
conditions, ranging from epilepsy and multiple sclerosis to arthritis and chronic pain. Laws involving CBD products differ in each
state. Hemp Industry Daily projects the hemp-derived CBD retail market will reach between $2.5 billion and $3.1 billion
by 2022, which assumes growth in retail penetration but a scenario of no major change in current federal policies concerning
hemp.

Hemp plant focused on the medical and consumer market. Its product line includes but not limited to gummies, muscle and
