Media Blitz for Medical Marijuana, Inc. Portfolio Companies at National Marijuana Business Conference

Unique Cannabis Industry Products & Services Featured at 3rd Annual Marijuana Business Conference Hosted in Las Vegas

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 24, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC Pink:MJNA) is pleased to inform shareholders and the general public that its portfolio companies were featured in news media reports from the 3rd annual Marijuana Business Conference held Nov. 12-14th in Las Vegas. As told by NBC3’s Kelsey Thomas, the conference grew to host more than 2,000 attendees and feature 125 exhibitors. Fueling attendee interest was, according to MMJ Business Daily, “The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services on Monday awarded 55 preliminary licenses for dispensaries and more than 300 for permits [for] other types of medical cannabis businesses.”

HempMeds(TM) — a corporate portfolio company, exclusive master distributor and contracted marketing company to Medical Marijuana, Inc. — provides cannabidiol (CBD) products made from industrial hemp that are already available in all 50 states and more than 40 countries. These natural hemp CBD products allow businesses to get into the “green rush” immediately. At the3rd Annual Marijuana Business Conference, HempMeds(TM) showcased a wide variety of retail-ready cannabis products available for purchase from the show floor. Newly approved Nevada cannabis business licensees attended and learned about these unique non-psychoactive cannabis innovations.

One in particular is the owner of Reno’s Elements Cannabis Center, Shane Smith, who states forFox 5 News: “A lot of people have the stigma of marijuana where it actually gets them psychoactively high, and they’re scared of it. So what the CBD (cannabidiol) does is it give[s] people the same benefits without the psychoactive high, and that, to me, is phenomenal. I suggest it to my own grandmother for that reason.”

8 News NOW’s Denise Valdez reported that Clark County medical marijuana dispensaries may be open in early 2015 and that there are millions of dollars to be made in the rapidly emerging industry.

On that same note, the topic “Pot for the Pooch?” captured the interest of business talk show host Dana Gentry of Vegas, Inc. In an in-depth interview, Dr. “Doc Rob” Streisfeld, cannabis and natural products industry consultant, and Andrew Hard, spokesperson for HempMeds, explain trends in this budding global industry including Pet CBD nutrition solutions and the availability of CBD hemp oil products in all 50 states.

Speaking on the topic of banking in the medical and recreational cannabis industry with Fox 5 News is Michael Julian, CEO of MPSI.

“We are extremely proud of our portfolio companies and their continued efforts to educate the public on the truth about cannabis,” states Michelle Sides, Chief Operating Officer of Medical Marijuana, Inc. “All of the MJNA portfolio companies are focused on excellence in quality and customer service. Each has a unique message and product or service offering that sets them apart within the rapidly expanding cannabis industry. We are appreciative of the mainstream news media for capturing these unique messages that, collectively, dispel myths about the benefits of this once again highly revered ancient plant.”
