UFC FIGHTER LIZ CARMOUCHE JOINS HEMPMEDS® AS SPOKESPERSON
News of Liz Carmouche’s partnership with HempMeds® continues to make headlines this week, running in media outlets like azmarijuana.com, Arizona’s largest medical cannabis website.
Carmouche, who fought in the UFC’s first ever women’s MMA fight against Ronda Rousey, joined with HempMeds® with the mission of raising awareness for the beneficial effects of CBD for athletes.
Austin’s top sports talk channel, 104.9 The Horn, interviewed Carmouche this week. She spoke with hosts Chad & Kevin about her career, CBD and athletes, and Carmouche’s new partnership with HempMeds® to help spread the word about CBD.
PHYTO ANIMAL HEALTH
Launched late last month, Phyto Animal Health is Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s newest portfolio company. The animal health and wellness company was created by CEO Ian Quinn after hearing of the many benefits of CBD while volunteering at a VA housing program. Looking to take advantage of these same benefits for his service dog Dante, Quinn worked with veterinarians and animal health specialists to develop the company’s line of CBD oil products.
News of Phyto Animal Health was covered this week in the following outlets:
- CBS 8 San Diego
- Pet Product News
- Veterinarians Money Digest
- Phyto Animal Health products were also featured in Denver’s Westword. The magazine listed our exclusive line of animal wellness products as part of their top Valentine’s Day gifts for cannabis enthusiasts.
LA’S NEWEST CANNABIS NEWS SOURCE
Los Angeles Cannabis News launched recently with their first issue. The print issue of LA’s new source for everything cannabis featured products from across the Medical Marijuana, Inc. portfolio of brands, including Kannaway, Real Scientific Hemp Oil™, and Dixie Botanicals®, highlighting the many benefits of CBD and discussing their non-psychoactive properties.
HEMPMEDS® BRASIL
Finally, Medical Marijuana, Inc.’s local Brazilian distribution branch HempMeds® Brasil was featured in the nation’s largest media outlet, Globo, this week after news broke that the federal court ruled that two cities in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, the municipalities of Natal and Parnamirim, must provide CBD oil products to patients there. The court decision upheld requests made by the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office in an legal action that originated with the parents of three children who sought CBD oil for their kids.
HempMeds® Brasil was the first company to have its CBD oil products authorized for import by ANVISA, the health authority in Brazil, for the use as prescription medications. Since then the company has worked closely with lawmakers, health professionals, and patient advocates in the country to promote access to CBD for those who need it.
