SAN DIEGO, CA, Aug. 11, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — via NewMediaWire – Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA) (the “Company”), the first publicly traded cannabis company in the United States to launch the world’s first cannabis-derived nutraceutical products, brands and supply chain, today announced that its pharmaceutical subsidiary, HM Pharma, has submitted a product dossier for its cannabidiol (CBD) products after receiving health authorization from ANVISA, the Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency.
According to ANVISA Regulation 327/2019, this registration allows companies like HM Pharma to import bulk crude extracts, isolated cannabinoids or finished products, as well as manufacture and distribute cannabis products to pharmacies in Brazil.
“This is a great achievement for our company and great news for the citizens of Brazil,” said Matheus Patelli, CEO of HM Pharma. “Submitting our dossier is the final step to register our product as a pharmaceutical product in Brazil which allows our company to sell our products in pharmacies. We look forward to providing another option to access the CBD for those who need it.”
HempMeds® Brasil, a subsidiary of Medical Marijuana, Inc., was the first company to legally import products into Brazil in 2015 using Brazil’s compassionate use laws. The compassionate use market in Brazil is thriving and will continue to coexist with the medical market. HempMeds® Brasil, which is currently growing 75% faster than the global Brazilian CBD market, and is the leading company in Brazil’s cannabis industry, will continue to operate under the compassionate use model, while HM Pharma will operate under ANVISA regulation 327/2019.
“It’s amazing to see continued growth and regulatory progress for our company in Brazil,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Blake Schroeder. “We are optimistic about our incredible push into the pharmaceutical space and look forward to sharing more exciting updates on our new sales channels in the near future.”
