[{"type":"text","content":"\n SAN DIEGO, Aug. 18, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA) (the \"Company\"), the first-ever publicly traded cannabis company in the United States that launched the world's first-ever cannabis-derived nutraceutical products, brands and supply chain, announced today that the Company's CEO Dr. Stuart Titus was featured in global financial news outlet Reuters discussing the current landscape of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) within the cannabis industry. The August 11, 2020, Reuters article entitled “Cannabis industry readies for M&A after COVID-19 boosts weed demand,” provided coverage on what’s next for public cannabis companies as they celebrate their collective growth during the COVID-19 pandemic. Though there is a tremendous amount of financial success to be celebrated, the article explains that for some it may be another few months before M&A activities reconvene and Dr. Titus is quoted as saying, “It could be another quarter before Canadian companies start making deals as they are still cleaning up their balance sheets.” According to the article, cannabis retailers in the U.S. may be quicker to begin making deals because many people are hopeful that the presidential election in November will lead to the federal legalization of cannabis. Still, as the article points out, funding sources will be more cautious about how they spend.  “We are currently focused on developing strategic sales strategies in hopes to keep our firm profitable and we are always on the lookout for new opportunities to expand our portfolio,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus.  The article was picked up by several leading global news outlets, including: The New York TimesBusiness InsiderU.S. News & World ReportFinancial Post, and Yahoo Finance As a result of Dr. Titus’ work with national regulatory bodies, including the US FDA last year, he has helped legalize the use and import of cannabidiol (CBD) into several Latin American countries and has expanded access to CBD around the world.
