SAN DIEGOOct. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ —Medical Marijuana, Inc. (MJNA), the first publicly traded cannabis company in the United States, today announced that it will move forward with market expansion efforts in athletics with recent announcement by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the foundation initiated by the International Olympic Committee to coordinate and monitor drug use in sports, that cannabidiol (CBD) will be removed from its list of banned substances in 2018.

Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s Real Scientific Hemp Oil-X™ (RSHO-X)™ CBD hemp oil, which is the only product on the market to be recognized by international governments to be completely free of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the well-known psychoactive compound in marijuana, is an ideal option for athletes looking to safely incorporate cannabinoids into their regimen. Derived from industrial hemp and imported from Europe through the world’s first CBD pipeline, RSHO-X was the first cannabis product approved by the Mexican Federal government for import from the US and is currently being prescribed for various indications such as epilepsy, diabetic neuropathy and pain associated with cancer treatment.

“This decision by the WADA is on par with what the rest of the medical world and countries around the world are realizing about the therapeutic benefits of CBD and athletes specifically need solutions in the areas of nutrition, relaxation, focus, recovery and repair,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus. “For athletes, our first-of-its kind THC-free RSHO-X eliminates the concern of a violation for athletes or anyone else liable to drug tests.”

In 2015, Wada tested over 300,000 athletes worldwide with around 4% showing signs of cannabinoids in their system, which under previous regulations included CBD and would automatically disqualify any athlete testing positive. This new regulation will allow these athletes to use products made by the Company without fear of failing these types of tests. The sports nutrition market continues to grow with Euromonitor International estimating spending in the category to be around $11 billion in 2015 and projecting it to grow to $14 billion by 2019. The Company plans to further efforts to capture additional market share with their cannabinoid products since the recent announcement by WADA.
