Kannaway's rapid growth in the network marketing industry is due to significantly increased hemp awareness and surging popularity of hemp lifestyle products in the U.S. fueled by the ability to provide the world's first bi-bong ™ formulations of CBD-rich hemp oil products.

"Cannabis Beauty DEFINED™ CBD-rich hemp oil capsules are a very convenient and transportable way to add to one's nutrition on a daily basis," states Kannaway CEO Jeff Rogers. "The bi-bong ™ herbal extract includes 'super foods' like gogi berry, burdock root and green tea. The capsules are vegan, soy-free, gluten-free and nut-free. With 60 capsules per bottle and 4mg of CBD from hemp oil in each cap, DEFINED™ provides an innovative new supplement for health-conscious Americans."
The current line of Kannaway's exclusively formulated CBD-rich hemp oil products are:
- Cannabis Beauty DEFINED™ luxury anti-aging cleanser, exfoliant, moisturizer, day & night serum, toner, and salve.
- KannaKick™ functional food energy chews with 10mg of caffeine (slightly more than a cup of coffee) in sour apple, "icy", chocolate, citrus, and cinnamon flavors.
- HempVĀP™ lifestyle vaporizer pen that uses strawberry and honeydew flavored CBD-rich hemp oil.
"We are extremely proud that Kannaway is taking the network marketing industry by storm," Rogers continues. "The explosive growth of 'Kannaway Nation' has exceeded 70,000 marketing professionals since the pre-launch 88 days ago. Paying sales commissions of nearly $1 million in that short amount of time is a clear indication that this is just the beginning of bringing back this versatile plant to our domestic economy. We look forward to continuing mass education of CBD-rich hemp oil lifestyle products and how they have an impact on our everyday lives. We invite the public to join our 'movement with a pay plan.' Our next stop on the Kannaway national tour is Chicago on June 7 at the Chicago Cannabis Conference." Tickets to the event may be purchased at Kannaway.com/Chicago .
