SAN DIEGO, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), the first publicly traded cannabis company in the United States, today announced that it has garnered news coverage on the top national financial news
network CNBC.
A Dec. 12, 2018, video on the 2018 Farm Bill entitled "Farm Bill May Be Big Win for Hemp-Based Product Manufacturers," features
Medical Marijuana, Inc. as one of the top three largest cannabidiol (CBD) startups in the U.S. and positions the company to win
big from the passage of the Hemp Farming Act of 2018 included in the 2018 Farm Bill. This bill would remove hemp from the
Controlled Substances Act (CSA) and would legalize hemp and its extracts federally.
"We're very pleased to be featured as a leader in this industry and are excited about what the passage of this historic bill
could mean for our company," said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus. "As a company that
is built on hemp, which we currently legally source from Europe, we feel that this bill could
help us expand access to our CBD hemp products and look at sourcing from U.S. hemp farmers."
