Medical Marijuana Inc Forms Medical Products Division and Research Committee to Examine Medical and Health Benefits of Cannabis-Based Products

LOS ANGELES, CA, Mar. 17, 2010 (Marketwire) --

LOS ANGELES, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/17/10 -- Medical Marijuana Inc (PINKSHEETS: MJNA) is pleased to announce that Stuart W. Titus, PhD has been selected to head the Medical Marijuana Inc Search Committee to formulate a full-scale Medical Products Division. This Division's focus is to research and develop the medicinal, health and wellness benefits of a variety of cannabis-based products.

Medical Marijuana Inc plans to explore the development of proprietary products into the pharmacological marketplace. The company plans to institute medically based research to eventually formulate medical products that will withstand the FDA approval process. Though this is a futuristic goal and the medical approval process is a lengthy one, various stages of progress on medicinal properties will be made public over time.

Other products that are perhaps less "medical" in nature will also be considered by the Division for public marketing. Progress reports will also be regularly made on the development of products that may foster health and wellness benefits. All products require certain studies be formally conducted in order to make claims of any benefit so derived and the Company's Medical Products Division will be so charged with evaluation and study.

"I am very pleased to be on the cutting edge of research into the numerous derivatives of a widely used product that is gathering acceptance by the public, certain State and even Federal Legislators. We feel there is significant opportunity to work with medical and pharmaceutical interests to bring forth products that may well establish a new paradigm in medicine. Our division will hopefully add one piece to the full scope of the business with Medical Marijuana Inc," said Dr. Titus at company headquarters this afternoon.
