United Cannabis Corporation (CNAB) Gets Approval From The Jamaican Ministry of Health

The Company’s Hemp Aromatherapy Roll-On, Capsules, and Sublingual Drops Are Already Registered with The Ministry of Health

United Cannabis Corporation (CNAB) (the “Company” or “United Cannabis”) today announced that Jamaica’s Ministry of Health has registered its Prana CBD-Infused Water as a medicinal cannabis product. The Prana Water will be manufactured and distributed by the Company’s Jamaican subsidiary, Cannabinoid Research & Development Limited (“CRD”).

CRD has already begun preliminary work to initiate production of other United Cannabis products in Jamaica, including its Prana P5 Hemp Bio Nutrient Capsules, Aromatherapy Roll-On, and Sublingual Drops.

This approval strengthens the Company’s competitive advantage by giving it access to other markets, including Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, which are approved for the purchase of hemp-based products from Jamaica.

The Prana Collection is at the center of United Cannabis’ proprietary cannabis-centric therapies and patients have found the hemp-derived Prana CBD-infused formulations effective in providing relief from the symptoms of arthritis, neuropathy, acute pain, joint aches, muscle tension, muscle spasms, muscle recovery, migraines, and various skin conditions.

Earnest Blackmon, Chief Executive Officer of United Cannabis, commented on the announcement saying, “Acceptance of medical cannabis has been considerably faster in Jamaica than the United States, and we established CRD so that we could be a part of the commercialization process. Our production facility is state-of-the-art and we expect our CBD-infused water, as well as our other approved products, will be ready for distribution by the end of the month.”
