Company. On a personal note, I am honored to have had the opportunity to
be CEO of Medical Marijuana, Inc. and look forward to my continued role.
Since our group founded this industry in 2011 my vision for CBD has

the medical community. I continue to believe that almost everything in
this industry remains at an early-stage, ground-floor level.”

honored to take on these positions within our Company,” said Chairman and CEO

much of our pioneering in the area of product development, market education and

insight of Dr. Titus. His continued role as our spokesperson is especially
positive for the Company.”
During his
time at the Company, Mr. Schroeder's key contributions include international
market development, financial performance management, product development,
rebranding efforts, and operational development of the Company as a whole.
