  • Cutting Edge Research and Premium Botanical Ingredients
  • Company Expects To Ship Orders in October

BONSALL, CA–(Oct 4, 2016) – MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA (OTC PINK: MCOA) –

MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA (“MCOA” or the “Company”) (OTC PINK: MCOA), an innovative cannabis and hemp marketing and distribution company, is pleased to announce the prelaunch of the hempSMART Brain product has commenced.

“We are very excited to announce the hempSMART Brain prelaunch as we prepare to begin shipping orders in the coming weeks. A lot of time and energy went into developing this product and we are looking forward to getting it into the hands of our customers,” said CEO, Donald Steinberg.

hempSMART Brain was developed to address the increase in neurologic and neurodegenerative challenges that have prompted a surge in scientific research on prevention and/or reversal of brain and nervous system pathology. A variety of natural products have been shown, in clinical trials, to improve neurological and cognitive function and there has been a surge of products being marketed to improve brain function. While the efficacy of some of these blends has been impressive, many utilize trace amounts of therapeutic ingredients, inadequate for any clinical effect.

Advantages Of HempSMART Brain Over Competing Brain Function Products

HempSMART Brain is unique in that it utilizes a synergistic blend of natural neuroprotective and neuroregenerative compounds, all in clinically researched and verified therapeutic amounts. The Core Ingredients for this product are CBD, Astaxanthin, Phosphoryl Choline and Phosphatidyl Serine. Together, these ingredients promote and support brain function and neurogenesis. Additional natural compounds compliment the synergistic effects of the core ingredients.

HempSMART exemplifies the practical application of cutting edge research and premium botanical ingredients, in therapeutic amounts. HempSMART Brain is the first of its kind. The synergistic blend of clinically verified natural brain support, with water soluble CBD, crosses the blood-brain barrier and offers brain support and protection not previously available in the marketplace.

Sales and Marketing Efforts Anticipate Pre-Orders Within Weeks

The hempSMART prelaunch website: www.hempSMART.com is now active and accessible by the Company’s members. Direct Sales leaders have been invited to join our prelaunch and begin referring others. This prelaunch will provide an indication of initial demand as orders are booked in the coming weeks, enabling management to adjust the manufacturing pipeline accordingly. The hempSMART Brain product is currently in production and is expected to ship in October 2016.

Investors are invited to visit the MCOA IR Hub on Agoracom to post questions and receive answers, or review questions and answers already posted by fellow investors. In addition, the MCOA IR HUB provides a monitored forum for investors and prospective shareholders to communicate within a clean, professional environment.

Medical Marijuana Seems To Reduce Deaths From Pharmaceuticals $MCOA.us $GCI.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:47 PM on Thursday, September 22nd, 2016
  • Columbia University epidemiologist June Kim and her colleagues report that fatally injured drivers are less likely to test positive for opioids in states that allow medical use of marijuana
  • That finding, together with the results of earlier studies, indicates that making marijuana legally available to patients saves lives by reducing their consumption of more dangerous medications.

I cover the war on drugs from a conscientious objector’s perspective.

Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.

Insys Therapeutics, the Arizona-based pharmaceutical company that recently became the biggest financial supporter of the campaign against marijuana legalization in that state, makes an oral spray that delivers the opioid painkiller fentanyl and plans to market another one that contains dronabinol, a synthetic version of THC. Insys says it gave $500,000 to the main group opposing Arizona’s legalization initiative because the measure “fails to protect the safety of Arizona’s citizens, and particularly its children.” But one needn’t be terribly cynical to surmise that Insys also worries about the impact that legalization might have on its bottom line, since marijuana could compete with its products.

A new study suggests Insys has good reason to worry. In an article published last week by the American Journal of Public Health, Columbia University epidemiologist June Kim and her colleagues report that fatally injured drivers are less likely to test positive for opioids in states that allow medical use of marijuana. That finding, together with the results of earlier studies, indicates that making marijuana legally available to patients saves lives by reducing their consumption of more dangerous medications.

Kim et al. collected data from the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) for 1999 through 2013, focusing on 18 states that drug-tested at least 80% of drivers who died in crashes. They found that drivers between the ages of 21 and 40 were half as likely to test positive for opioids in states that had implemented medical marijuana laws (MMLs) as in states that had not.

“Among 21-to-40-year-old deceased drivers, crashing in states with an operational MML was associated with lower odds of testing positive for opioids than crashing in MML states before these laws were operational,” the researchers write. “Although we found a significant association only among drivers aged 21 to 40 years, the age specificity of this finding coheres with what we know about MMLs: a minimum age requirement restricts access to medical marijuana for most patients younger than 21 years, and most surveyed medical marijuana patients are younger than 45 years.”

The fact that a driver tested positive for opioids does not necessarily mean the painkillers he took contributed to the crash, so it is not safe to draw any conclusions about medical marijuana’s impact on traffic safety from this study. But the FARS data are an indirect way of measuring the extent of opioid consumption in a given state. Kim et al. note that “severe or chronic pain is among the most common indications cited by medical marijuana patients.” It therefore makes sense that opioid use would decline (or rise less) in states that recognize cannabis as a medicine.

Fed’s Williams sees ‘unsustainable tension’ on pot-related banking $GCI.ca $MCOA.us

As more and more states legalize the use of marijuana, which is banned under U.S. federal laws, banks are facing “unsustainable tension” that needs to be resolved by Congress, San Francisco Fed President John Williams said on Tuesday.

“This is a big issue for this country,” Williams said after a speech to The Hayek Group in Reno, Nev., where voters will decide whether to legalize some uses of marijuana this November. Pot-related businesses don’t have access to the same bank-run electronic payment systems that are increasingly making transactions safer for most other U.S. businesses, he said.

Medical marijuana and ‘the entourage effect’

  • Recreational marijuana sales in Colorado and Washington State could top half a billion dollars;
  • The recreational market is expected to continue growing rapidly as more states legalize cannabis, reaching approximately $4.2 billion in 2018;
  • Florida and other unexpected states like Texas could legalize cannabis in 12-18 months, creating scores of new business and investment opportunities;
  • Ancillary industries and companies (those that do not touch the plant) generate hundreds of millions of dollars annually, in additional revenues and will continue to expand alongside cannabis sales;
  • Combined recreational cannabis sales could total an estimated $40-$45 billion, if cannabis is legalized across the United States.

BONSALL, CA–(Aug 25, 2016) – MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA (“MCOA” or the “Company”) (OTC PINK: MCOA)

MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA (“MCOA” or the “Company”) (OTC PINK: MCOA), an innovative cannabis and hemp marketing and distribution company, and its subsidiary (H Smart, Inc.) are pleased to announce the launch of the HempSmart brand and line of products. The first HempSmart branded CBD based product called “HempSmart BRAIN,” formulated to promote brain health, has entered the manufacturing process and is expected to ship by September 30, 2016.

This is a “first-of-a-kind, patent pending” new product that combines nootropic benefits with the additional cognitive enhancing benefits offered by CBD. Our team has developed a unique proprietary product with a water-soluble CBD base to enhance bioavailability that includes supporting ingredients that are proven cognitive enhancers.

With the expected release of the HempSmart BRAIN product next month, our marketing team is gearing up for an upcoming pre-launch. This pre-launch will enable management to access demand prior to the actual ship date and adjust the manufacturing pipeline accordingly.

“Over the years, I have successfully launched several new products into the marketplace. I feel this product line will absolutely surpass any product rollout I have done before. With the team we have in place, I am confident in a strong U.S. rollout, followed up by a global outreach,” said Mr. Steinberg, MCOA President.

The Company will initiate the pre-launch program approximately two weeks prior to the expected ship date of HempSmart’s BRAIN product. The HempSmart Division will utilize the growing Direct Sales industry as the method of product education and sales to consumers. Active participants in the direct sales program at HempSmart will be able to participate in a competitive, transparent and potentially lucrative compensation package in which members are rewarded for their sales and team’s performance.

“After more than 30 years in the Health and Wellness Industry, I can attest that these ultra-pure, all natural products will forever change the paradigm of nutritional supplementation. Backed by solid science, HempSmart technology harnesses the powerful synergy of premium bioavailable ingredients. Pairing the compelling benefits of legal organic hemp with other scientifically validated organic & highly bioavailable botanicals raises the bar in the nutritional supplement world,” said Paula Vetter, a seasoned and highly respected Certified Herbalist that serves as Chair of MCOA’s Medical Advisory Board.

Regarding the new product launch, Justin Davis, M.D., a member of the Company’s Medical Advisory Board stated, “As a physician and an athlete, I believe strongly in the optimization of mind and body.
