SAN DIEGO, Oct. 1, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), the first-ever publicly traded cannabis company in the United States, announced today that former Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman and Super Bowl champion Derek Kennard has become a spokesperson for its subsidiary Kannaway to help spread awareness on the benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) for athletes and active consumers.
“We look forward to working with Derek Kennard to continue our goal of spreading awareness and increasing public education about the health benefits of CBD,” said Kannaway CEO Blake Schroeder. “Kennard is just one of many who have seen amazing health results while using CBD oil and we aim to use his story to inspire others.”
Kannaway is the first hemp lifestyle network to legally offer hemp-based botanical CBD wellness products. The Kannaway® Sports division aims to spread awareness of the many important benefits CBD holds for professional and amateur athletes, connecting former NFL athletes with the education and products they need to help them live happier, more fulfilling lives. Kannaway® reported its largest-ever sales revenue quarter in company history in Q2 2018, as well as reached major milestones in their business operations.
“CBD oil allows me to get along with my day and have an improved quality of life,” said Kannaway® spokesperson Derek Kennard. “If someone was skeptical about taking CBD, I’d tell them that it’s not marijuana and it definitely won’t get them high. It’s become a great safe and natural alternative for me and I am thankful that these are high-quality products.”
Kennard recently added Kannaway® Pure Gold CBD Oil to his daily routine and has experienced firsthand how CBD can help manage his body’s wear and tear from playing football for most of his life. He’s also seen how it helps him be more relaxed each day, which helps him in his role as a public figure speaking at events.
“We are grateful to hold public partnerships such as this one that allow us to increase education and access to CBD in the U.S.,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. Chief Executive Officer Dr. Stuart Titus. “It is our hope that through these partnerships and personal stories, people understand the wellness benefits of CBD.”
