SAN DIEGO, Feb. 03, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- It took him more than eight hours travel by bus to get to Mexico City.  Around mid-day, Abelardo Maldonado Constantino emerged from the COFEPRIS building with a piece of paper – an historic document – in hand.  It is one of the first two permits issued by the Mexican government allowing his daughter, Alina, access to and import of RSHO-X, a non-psychoactive cannabidiol (CBD) hemp oil.

Dr. Stuart W. Titus, PhD and Chief Executive Office of Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC Pink:MJNA) states, “The document that Abelardo now holds represents one thing: freedom.  It is freedom for Alina, Maria Paula, and millions of residents of Mexico. We celebrate the decision by the government of Mexico to allow their people the freedom to access RSHO-X CBD hemp oil.”

Hemp and marijuana are in the cannabis species and there are more than 85 cannabinoids that make up each plant.  Produced by Medical Marijuana, Inc. RSHO-X contains cannabidiol, a non-psychoactive component of the hemp plant.  Access to this product has not been easy but, with their victories, the families of Grace, Alina and Maria Paula have made it easier for the more than 120 million residents of Mexico to also gain an import permit.

Witnessing this historic occasion were many members of the news media.  Their stories spread like wildfire throughout Mexico.  Initial reports include:

Dr. Titus concludes, “This is an historic day for the citizens of Mexico as well as for Medical Marijuana, Inc, its shareholders and team.  It is also an epic achievement in the global reintroduction of hemp.  We look forward to educating the public on cannabis and cannabidiol in the future.  Only with awareness, education and compassion will we be able to help others gain the freedom to benefit from cannabis.”
