ESCONDIDO, Calif., March 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- MARIJUANA COMPANY OF AMERICA INC. ("MCOA" or the "Company") (OTCQB: MCOA), an innovative hemp and cannabis corporation, is pleased to announce that the subsidiary, hempSMART™, will offer products to consumers at a substantial savings.

In today's climate of concern about immune system health, Paula Vetter FNP, Chairman of hempSMART's Medical Advisory Board, pointed out that "maintaining a healthy immune system requires a multi-faceted approach. Along with common sense measures like social distancing and hand washing, we can enable our immune system to function optimally by specifically supporting our Endocannabinoid System with a quality CBD product."

The Journal of Cannabis & Cannabinoid Research (Sept 2019) recently published findings that demonstrate that the immune system is modulated by the Endocannabinoid System (ECS). This system, which is present in humans and all other mammals, acts as the "orchestra conductor" of the body.

The ECS has three major functions:

to balance & regulate immune response & inflammation
to balance & regulate brain chemistry (neurotransmitters)
to balance & regulate hormone levels (sex hormones, adrenal hormones, thyroid hormones)

Vetter emphasized that "CBD is very popular, but many available products are not therapeutic. All CBD is NOT created equal. Our hempSMART CBD drops are organically grown, contain the full spectrum of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids (with selective removal of only THC). That means no 'high' or risk of failing a drug test. Most importantly, the purity, potency, and integrity of the product is verified by an independent certified laboratory. Comprehensive Certificates of Analysis, for every batch of every product, guarantee that hempSMART is a brand that you can TRUST."

"NO CBD product specifically treats disease," said Vetter. "A high quality, bioavailable, full spectrum CBD will powerfully support the ECS to carry out its important functions. Supporting the wisdom of the human body is the BEST defense we have against any health challenge."

Trevor Meuhfelder, COO of hempSMART™ states, "With the limitation of services and precautionary measures being taken currently, MCOA believes that this is an opportunity to ramp up our sales of CBD products as immune system health is critical. Our products are specifically designed to help maintain a healthy endocannabinoid system which directly contributes to the functionality of the immune system."

Global Sales and Marketing Director, Gloria Lynch, "We are now providing an online promotion for hempSMART DROPS, 250 mg tinctures which we are offering at $30.00 (regularly $45.00). We have recently seen an increase demand for our hempSMART Drops and we are happy to provide consumers with our superior products."

"I am in complete agreement with Paula Vetter that in this stressful time anything we can do to strengthen our immune system will be very beneficial. It is important to support our natural ability to manage stress and to regulate & optimize our immune response to any challenge.

Everyone needs to stay safe, and follow the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations of socially distancing ourselves and working remotely if possible.
Take the time to reconnect with loved ones, care for each other and support each other," Jesus Quintero, MCOA, CEO.

The Company's CEO went on to state, "MCOA is also aggressively looking and performing due diligence on various possible acquisition targets in the cannabis sector. This recent dramatic market correction in our sector and in the overall economy has introduced several opportunities to buy strategic distressed assets in the cannabis sector. As a public company, we are looking to acquire strategic assets and companies at deep discounts to benefit us and increase reported revenue. "
