SAN DIEGO, Sept. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Medical Marijuana, Inc. (“the Company”) (OTC: MJNA), the first-ever publicly traded cannabis company in the United States that launched the world’s first-ever cannabis-derived nutraceutical products, brands and supply chain, today announced that subsidiary HempMeds® Brasil Vice President Caroline Heinz will be a featured speaker at the MJBizDaily Latin American Cannabis Symposium in Bogotá, Columbia, on Sept. 30 – Oct. 1.

Caroline Heinz will speak on Oct. 1 at 9:50 a.m. on a panel entitled “Potential Powerhouse: Where Brazil Stands” discussing the potential for upcoming reform in which domestic cultivation would be regulated and cannabis products could be registered without finished clinical trials for the first time in Brazil. The panel will also discuss how to prepare to cultivate cannabis in Brazil and what significant new business opportunities this reform could create for the entire Latin American cannabis industry.

“We’re currently on the precipice of a monumental positive shift in acceptance and support for cannabis in Brazil,” Heinz said. “I’m honored to be speaking at this event and educating people about the potential business prospects with this new reform and how our Company will continue to be a pioneer in enhancing how Brazilian citizens use cannabidiol (CBD) in their everyday lives.”

The MJBizDaily Latin American Cannabis Symposium is a platform for cannabis industry innovators, researchers and policy decision-makers to participate in an intensive two-day event to discuss the latest technology advancements, scientific research and potential for growth in the Latin American and the Caribbean markets.

Founded in 2014, HempMeds® Brasil is the first company to be authorized by the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (Anvisa) to import CBD-based products. Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ (RSHO™) was the first product approved for import and use in the country and is still the leading CBD brand in the market today.

“According to New Frontier Data, the Total Addressable Market (TAM) size for Latin America in 2019 is $9.8 billion and Brazil makes up the largest portion of that revenue with a TAM of $2.4 million,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus. “We’re excited to be a part of this evolving legal landscape in Brazil and to have Caroline speaking at such a highly regarded industry event.”
