• High concentration of CBD (non-psychoactive) • High concentration of THC (psychoactive)

Hemp - Hemp Based Bio Fuels
• Biomass can be used to fuel electrical generation power plants – in Brazil they use the sugar cane crop
to produce an ethanol for gasoline, but this has inherent environmental toxins
• Hemp can provide clean energy that is fully carbon negative - Hemp can provide a similar or greater
biomass than sugar cane

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.
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.
• Please see Dr. David Allen's review of the endocannabinoid system here.

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:
• 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.

“
evidence that even microwave radiation,
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.)

Before CBD we had no real way to protect ourselves from environmental damage to

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.

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

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