Marijuana Company of America Announces Official Launch of hempSMART™ in the United Kingdom

GlobeNewswire•March 21, 2019
ESCONDIDO, Calif., March 21, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NetworkWire – MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. (“MCOA” or the “Company”) (OTC: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, hempSMART, Ltd., a corporation organized in the United Kingdom, will officially launch the Company’s industrial hemp CBD formulated hempSMART™ products in the United Kingdom during the Company’s March 23, 2019, launch event in London.

The hempSMART™ launch event is sold out, with associates attending from the United Kingdom and elsewhere in Europe. The Company has implemented a lineup of fantastic speakers, with some joining from across the globe by video conference. The Company’s launch program will include an in-depth overview of the CBD industry, its hempSMART™ products, as well as marketing and compensation plans that will also feature information on how associates can start their own business in the CBD industry. The Company believes its hempSMART™ wellness products, which are formulated with industrial hemp-derived CBD, are well-suited and positioned for the UK and EU markets, as the Company’s CBD extraction processes have reduced the trace levels of THC in its hempSMART™ products to below 0.02% of dry weight, meeting the current accepted standards for CBD supplement products in the UK.

The hempSMART, Ltd. UK team has worked diligently over the last few months to ensure its associates get the very best customer support both during and after the launch. During the event, the Company will recognize associates who achieved outstanding pre-launch activity with an assortment of awards and prizes. In addition, the Company’s mobile storefront will be fully manned at the event, ensuring everyone can place orders and take them home the same day.

Ian Harvey, Global Sales Director of hempSMART, Ltd., commented: “I personally have never felt so much excitement surrounding a new product line being launched in the UK. hempSMART, Ltd. is poised to become one of the leaders in the CBD wellness industry in the UK and the EU, and I am delighted to be Global Sales Director, as we continue to be focused on other exciting developments moving forward.”

Donald Steinberg, CEO of the Company, commented “We are now ready to start on the global rollout of our hempSMART™ products. Our software is set to accommodate many countries, our product line has been well developed and we have leaders throughout the world ready to take up their roles as country directors. Launching in the UK is especially meaningful, as London was the launch pad for one of my prior projects, One World Communications, which expanded operations to 50 countries with well over 150,000 affiliates in nine months. As the founder of that company, I feel an even greater excitement with this rollout.”

Dianna Steinberg, head of hempSMART™ product development, stated, “After having received the groundbreaking patent for brain function and nootropics following the recent changes in regulations, our company is thrilled to be opening in the UK. We are especially looking forward to working with not only our health professionals but all of the thousands of people in our past organizations.”
