HempMeds® Mexico also continues to bring on new leadership, most recently with the addition of a new Chief Operating Officer (COO) Carlos Gonzales, who will be responsible of the operation in increase sales and promote distribution processes for the products of the company, particularly RSHO-X™.
"This new office opening is exciting, as our Company will now be operating on the ground in Mexico, which will help further our already established relationship with the Mexico government, as we continue working to educate local health officials and lawmakers on the benefits of CBD hemp oil and help patients learn how to access RSHO-X™ for themselves," said Chief Executive Officer of Medical Marijuana, Inc. Dr. Stuart Titus. "We're also thrilled to have Carlos join the team in Mexico and are confident in his ability to support Mexican families who need access to cannabidiol products, which have helped in treating neurological conditions such as refractory epilepsy and diabetic neuropathy.

RSHO-X™ was also recently approved by the Mexico government COFEPRIS for the first time to assist in the treatment of neuropathic conditions related with diabetes.
