Escondido, California--(Newsfile Corp. - December 12, 2018) - MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. ("MCOA" or the "Company" (OTC: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, is pleased to announce that the Company has upgraded its trading tier on the OTC Markets to the OTCQB Venture Marketplace.

MCOA views this as an important step in continuing to distinguish itself from other cannabis publicly traded companies. By upgrading its trading tier, the Company will have the ability of providing investors with transparent and reliable audited information of MCOA's operations, overviews of the Company's business strategy, as well as current financial statements every quarter.

By upgrading its trading tier, MCOA hopes to improve its image among institutional investor and broker communities. This upgrade removes some of the limitations put on Pinksheet companies and in turn gives the Company better access to a larger shareholder base and liquidity in the marketplace. The uplisting is also an integral requirement for the S1 registration statement that the Company expects to file with the SEC prior to year-end in order to fund its high growth objectives in 2019.

"Our Company will continue to be aggressive in executing our business plan and we believe this is a necessary step to help legitimize MCOA as one of the top fully reporting public cannabis companies involved in the hemp-derived CBD sector. MCOA will continue to expand our operations in the U.S. as well as launch our hempSMART™ product line internationally in 2019," said CEO Donald Steinberg.

About Marijuana Company of America, Inc.
MCOA is a corporation which participates in: (1) product research and development of legal hemp-based consumer products under the brand name "hempSMART™", that targets general health and well-being; (2) an affiliate marketing program to promote and sell its legal hemp-based consumer products containing CBD; (3) leasing of real property to separate business entities engaged in the growth and sale of cannabis in those states and jurisdictions where cannabis has been legalized and properly regulated for medicinal and recreations use; and, (4) the expansion of its business into ancillary areas of the legalized cannabis and hemp industry, as the legalized markets and opportunities in this segment mature and develop.

About Our hempSMART Products Containing CBD

Our products containing CBD derived from industrial hemp are not marketed or sold based upon claims that their use is safe and effective treatment for any medical condition as drugs or dietary supplements subject to the FDA's jurisdiction.
