• 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
Hemp vs. Marijuana - Part II (Understanding the Differences)
Hemp Marijuana
• Hemp food products are fully legal in the USA • Remains illegal at federal level
• Hemp food products are regularly found in US • 30 US states, plus Washington D.C. legalize
health food stores for medical purposes
• Hemp seed, hemp oil, hemp protein powder • 17 US states approve CBD forms of marijuana
for epilepsy children
• 4 US states + D.C. have legalized for recreational usage
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.
• 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.
What is the Endocannabinoid System?
What is the Endocannabinoid System?
• 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
CB1 Receptors in the Brain
To supplement the LARGEST self-regulatory system within
the human body, take plant based phyto-cannabinoids daily!
Endocannabinoid System Facts
• 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.
• 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.”
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.
World Anti-Doping Standards
• Or just Rx Cannabis
• Epilepsy
• Metabolic Syndrome
• Broken bones
1
• Osteoporosis
• Parkinson’s
• Alzheimer's
• Anti-Cancer
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.
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...!
