In February 2016, the company became the first company to receive government import permits for cannabis products via approval by the Mexican Health Department, COFEPRIS. These permits were granted for individuals suffering from rare forms of epilepsy that may be effectively treated with cannabidiol (“CBD”) oils. The HempMeds Mexico products contain no psychoactive tetrahydrocannbinol (“THC”) and are 99% pure filtered CBD oil.
The company recently began clinical studies of its HempMeds RSHO-X products under the guidance of Dr. Saul Garza Morales, a leading pediatric researcher and neurologist in Mexico. The studies in children with severe epilepsy found that 86% of the 29 patients experienced statistically-significant (> 50%) reductions in motor seizures. A further 17% of the patients were fully seizure-free for a 4-month period following the clinical studies.
This week, the State of Mexico’s government announced that it would directly purchase CBD hemp oil products from HempMeds Mexico to treat 11 of its citizens suffering from varying indications, including Refractory Epilepsy and Lennox Gastaut-Syndrome. The move marks the first time that the government has purchased CBD products for its citizens, and successful results could translate to additional purchases down the road.
“The plethora of benefits of medical cannabis to treat several types of indications is undeniable and we are encouraged to see not only health professionals, but also now governments, are becoming increasingly interested in how CBD hemp oil can help heal,” said Medical Marijuana Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus in a recent press release.
