Brief History of Cannabis

• Cannabis has been part of human evolution


since the beginning of recorded history.

• In ancient Chinese times, cannabis was used as a


medicine, including its oils, tinctures and 

cannabis-based preparations.

• Today’s presentation concerns the recent


developments in clinical research regarding the
re-establishment of “Cannabis” uses.

7
1930’s and Cannabis’ Demise

• Up until the late 1930’s cannabis based medications: oils, tinctures and preparations were
routinely used by American doctors and physicians worldwide. The following pictures
depict some of the many types of cannabis-based medicinal products that were available.

Hemp vs. Marijuana - Part I (Understanding the Differences)

Hemp Marijuana
• Tall and lengthy (can grow 10-20 feet high) • Short and bushy (grows about waist high)
• High concentration of CBD (non-psychoactive) • High concentration of THC (psychoactive)
• Around the world, it is grown mostly for fiber, • Grown for psychoactive effect
and used in textiles • No industrial application
• Hemp seeds are the seed from the plant known
as Cannabis sativa 10
Hemp vs. Marijuana - Part II (Understanding the Differences)

Hemp Marijuana
• Hemp food products are federally legal in the • Remains illegal at federal level
USA • 30 US states, plus Washington D.C. legalize
• Hemp food products are regularly found in US for medical purposes
health food stores • 17 US states approve CBD forms of marijuana
• Hemp seed, hemp oil, hemp protein powder for epilepsy children
• 9 US states + D.C. have legalized for recreational usage
Hemp - Worldwide Benefits to Mankind

The world stands to significantly benefit from industrial


hemp, as there are a huge number of known uses – that
are all sustainable and renewable.

This will greatly benefit world economies – and as we


grow significantly more hemp around the globe – the
entrepreneurial spirit of the newer generations will likely
find increasing uses for this amazing plant.

Particularly as we achieve “economies of scale” through


significantly increased hemp production.

• Cannabinoid System, Much Less Teach Anything About It.

To Get An Education – Doctors Need To Take Continuing Medical Education


Programs re Cannabis and Cannabinoid Science. In The Following Slides, We
• Will Review Some Of The Basic Concepts So EVERYBODY Can Get A Basic
Understanding and Knowledge

42
What Are Cannabinoids?

• Cannabinoids are special compounds found in the Cannabis plant family, and there are
at least 80, possibly up to 100, known cannabinoids.

• There are nearly 400 other chemical compounds in cannabis that are common to all plants 

— like chlorophyll, terpenoids, flavonoids and plant waxes.

• Cannabinoids and cannabinoid like compounds are found in a handful of other plants
such as Echinacea, flax, common tea, kava and hops.

• One of these cannabinoid like compounds, called Beta-caryophyllene, is a terpenoid that


appears to behave like a cannabinoid in the body. It can be found in dozens of plants
consumed every day (black pepper, hops, rosemary, oregano, basil, lavender, cinnamon and
more). Beta-caryophyllene exhibits antioxidant properties, partly by acting on the
endocannabinoid system.
43
Cannabinoids Extracts

44
What is the Endocannabinoid System?

• Our bodies have an entire regulatory system called the endocannabinoid system
(ECS), or the endogenous cannabinoid system. In fact, this endocannabinoid
system is the largest, self regulating system within our bodies. The ECS uses
cannabinoids to transmit certain signals and regulate homeostasis within us - it
serves to balance our mood, appetite, sleep and hormone production.

• Plant based cannabinoids have analogues in the human body, meaning that our
bodies produce cannabinoids too. Our cells have receptor sites for cannabinoids
(CB-1 and CB-2, described below), and this helps regulate our immune system.

• The major endogenous cannabinoids are Anandamide (AEA) and 2-AG

• Please see Dr. David Allen's review of the endocannabinoid system here.
45
What is the Endocannabinoid System?

46
What is the Endocannabinoid System?

• The CB1 neurotransmitter receptor site in the brain has more


receptor sites than ALL OF THE OTHER neurotransmitter
sites… COMBINED!

• Thus, our bodies are designed to accept plant based


cannabinoids – in fact, these are the foods of our “Biological
Adaptation”.

47
Additional Cannabinoid Receptor Sites

• G Protein Coupled Receptor Sites Controls the function of 800 human genes
(4% of the entire human genomic sequence)
• Vanilloid Pain Receptor Sites
• Internal Organs, including fat cells of the Liver Controls metabolism
• Also Lungs, Kidneys
• Glands Pituitary, Hypothalamus, Thymus, Thyroid, Adrenal
• The ECS is present from Day 16 of Gestation and regulates the development of the
entire Central Nervous System

said Kimberley Cargile of A Therapeutic Alternative.

But what about people already addicted. How can they get
off the pills?

“The goal number one here is to come up with something


which will be a much safer alternative to what is available
today,” said George Anastassov of Axim Biotechnologies.

Endocannabinoid System Facts

Did You Know:

• The "Runner's High" is a phenomena created by production and


release of the endogenous cannabinoid, Anandamide, as well as
Endorphins - both are "feel good" neurotransmitters. Only Anandamide
crosses the blood-brain barrier, thus responsible for the "Runner's
High" effect.

Clinical Endocannabinoid Deficiency Syndrome

• First postulated by a Dr. Ethan Russo, a famous cannabis researcher.

• If one is deficient in cannabinoids, one may develop numerous “treatment


resistant conditions", such as migraine headache, fibromyalgia, and chronic
fatigue syndrome

• Subsequent research has confirmed that underlying endocannabinoid


deficiencies indeed play a role in migraine, fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome
and a growing list of other medical conditions. Clinical experience is bearing this
out.


• Further research and, especially, clinical trials will further demonstrate the
usefulness of medical cannabis/ medical hemp including non-psychoactive CBD .
As legal barriers fall and scientific bias fades this will become more apparent.

• Recently the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has relaxed barriers to


CBD research - this as of Dec 23, 2015 63

Mitochondria – What You Need to Know by
Dr. Mercola

• When it comes to health and disease prevention, your mitochondrial


health and function simply cannot be overstated. If your mitochondria
are not functioning well, nothing else will either. Optimization of
mitochondria is also a central key for life extension.

• In simple terms, mitochondria are the powerhouse of your cells,


producing about 90 percent of the energy being generated in your body

• Everything that happens in your body, each and every muscle


contraction and relaxation, biochemical cascade, cellular regeneration,
detoxification and so on requires energy

• Free radicals formed at the level of the mitochondria are typically


extremely harmful, which is why you need to minimize them.

Increase in the Occurrence of Neurological Diseases

• We have seen a recent news release from Mayo Clinic researchers (June 21 2016) who had been studying
neurological trends for the past 30 years and reported their findings in JAMA Neurology.

• This report cited the significant increase in Parkinson’s disease and “parkinsonism” particularly in men over
the age of 70 years. This is the first study to suggest such a trend, according to researchers.

The numbers:

For every 10 calendar years of life:


• Men of all ages have a 17% higher risk of developing “parkinsonism”
and
• Men of all ages have a 24% higher risk of developing Parkinson’s disease

• Dr. Rodolfo Savica, MD, PhD, the study lead author mentions that “we have evidence to suggest that there
has been a genuine increase in the risk of Parkinson’s disease.”

72
Huntington's Disease/Other Neurological Disorders on The Rise as Well

• The prevalence of Huntington’s disease, another neurological disorder – may need to be revised upwards as
genetic markers point to a statistically significant increase among the general population.

• Although there are numerous stories of sick people and health-challenged children receiving assistance from
CBD – we truly feel that healthy people can take a daily “maintenance regimen” and then potentially avoid
some of the potential degenerative risks that are mentioned in the Mayo Clinic’s article.

• We believe that this trend exists beyond the article and into other neurological disorders – as we are
continually challenged by our environment, our excessive usage of cell phones and other factors.

• Please see this article for more on this alarming trend.

in high doses, can pose some health risks.

Microwave radiation works by heating water. Muscle tissue, like the heart, is 75 percent water. So, if the cancer
was shown in rats, the risk is even higher for humans because- rather counter intuitively- bigger animals are
more sensitive to radiation. (Which is why pregnant female rats were also more sensitive to radiation.)

“New” Forms of Toxic Exposure to Humans

Environmental Toxins
• Air pollution, particulate matter
• Agricultural Toxins
• Pesticides & Herbicides show
up in urine samples
• Dr. Mercola says “Monsanto is
Inside Everything”

77
Monsanto is Inside Everything

Glyphosate (an agricultural chemical) is


showing up virtually everywhere: in blood
and urine samples, breast milk, drinking
water, and more…

Wheat, oats, lentils, potatoes and many


other crops may be sprayed with
glyphosate just days prior to harvest…

Environmental Neurotoxins

Exposure to the (commonly used in agriculture)


herbicide known as Paraquat is associated
with an increased risk of Parkinson’s disease.
Exposure to these types of environmental
toxins… can contribute to neurodegeneration.

“New” Forms of Toxic Exposure to Humans

Sugar
• Artificial Sugar / Aspartame
is a proven Neuro-Toxin

Before CBD we had no real way to protect ourselves from environmental damage to
our central nervous system. Now we have a fighting chance, thanks to the researched
neuro-protective effects of cannabinoids.

A Company of Firsts®

• Medical Marijuana Inc. was the FIRST publicly traded company in the US to engage with the
legal cannabis space.

• We created the CBD hemp oil category along with the FIRST pipeline from Europe, and
introduced the FIRST natural botanical hemp-based CBD products into US markets.

• We were the FIRST to bring legal cannabis product into Brazil, Puerto Rico (where we now
hold 12 product registrations), and now Mexico.
• First in Direct Selling

• We take our place in history very seriously because the path we blazed has
revolutionized the way people think about both hemp and cannabis.

• In short: the legal hemp-based CBD industry in the United States did not exist until
Medical Marijuana Inc. and our subsidiaries developed it.

81
World Anti-Doping Standards

• Pure CBD is the first cannabis based


product that would qualify under World
Anti-Doping Standards in Direct Selling.

• These World Anti-Doping Standards


show that 207 compounds are banned.

• Our Pure CBD does not contain or metabolize


into ANY of these 207 compounds.

Stanford University Study Points to Endocannabinoid Deficiency

as Cause of Alzheimer’s

• A new study led by investigators at the


Stanford University School of Medicine has
implicated the blocking of endocannabinoids 

— signaling substances that are the brain’s
internal versions of the psychoactive
chemicals in marijuana and hashish — in the
early pathology of Alzheimer’s disease.

The Remake of Hemp Vap
Although preferred by the younger generation for "entertainment" we have
seen great anecdotal feedback from the Kannaway Brand Ambassadors.

It is extremely exciting to show this new product now with:


* 100 mgs CBD in the new cartridge
* Refill cartridges available
* More CBD, More "puff for your buck"
* Potential Health & Wellness Benefits too..!

90
Everyone Breathes
An often overlooked characteristic of all living humans is that we all breathe and
can potentially benefit from this unique "delivery method".

A medical researcher at Temple University mentions that "all pharmaceutical


medications should be inhaled by vaporization" as this would not go through the
digestive tract. Here, the liver metabolism creates havoc with traditional
pharmaceutical medications - thus "unwanted side effects" of many traditional
medications. 

We are looking at clinical research and development programs with this type of
Vaporized delivery - and we look forward to hearing your anecdotal stories of
success with patients.

91
Vape Shows Immediate Uptake

Immediate health and wellness effects can be seen - particularly in terms of


relaxation and focus. The lungs have CB1 receptor sites and potential immediate
entry into the cardio-pulmonary system may hold future "therapeutic" promise.

Potentially there are benefits for the brain as well, again with the seemingly
"immediate uptake". 

Our research will show this potential benefit and to this, we have hired a
pedigreed pharmaceutical development expert to assist us in better quantifying
these health and wellness benefits. We look forward to further presentations to
our growing team of Kannaway Brand Ambassadors...!
