U.S. News & World Report Features Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Discussing the Potential of Federal Legalization of Hemp and Marijuana

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 14, 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 in national news publication U.S. News & World Report.

A December 4, 2018 article on the legalization of hemp and its effects on marijuana entitled "Legalization of Hemp Could Be First Step for Federal Marijuana Protections" features an interview with Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus.

"We're very pleased to be included in the national conversation about such a monumental bill in U.S. history," said Titus. "Hemp has over 50,000 known uses and we believe that this publication has done a fantastic job at showcasing this bill's expansive potential for cannabidiol (CBD) companies and farmers alike."

The article outlines how Congress, who is currently on the brink of passing the 2018 Farm Bill, may also be headed towards the federal legalization of marijuana. The piece also highlights hemp's many industrial applications as biofuel and construction materials, a skincare supplement, as well as a source of CBD hemp oil, which holds countless health and wellness benefits.

In the article, Dr. Titus is quoted saying, "The 2018 farm bill is going to be a total game-changer. This bill is the first step in convincing Congress to consider marijuana not as a scary drug but as a relatively low-risk recreational intoxicant and a therapeutic agent."
