Dallas, TX -- June 9, 2016 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- North American Cannabis Holdings, Inc. (USMJ), Puration, Inc. (PURA) and Nature Comfort Meds today announced sponsoring NFL Legend Jim McMahon to the Thought-Leadership Panel at the Cannabis World Congress & Business Exhibition on June 16th at the Javits Center in New York entitled “CTE, Concussion and CBD.” An all star sports panel composed of former players from the NFL and NHL is intended to advance the discussion on how the use of cannabinoids, specifically CBD, may help treat and prevent the onset of symptoms associated with chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) and traumatic brain injury.

USMJ and Jim McMahon, former quarterback with the Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers and two time Super Bowl Champion, earlier this year announced the the formation of the Cannabis Sports Policy Project (CSPP).
Jim McMahon is an advocate for medical marijuana. As a result of injuries incurred while playing in the NFL, he has endured 18 surgeries and now lives with chronic pain. Medical marijuana has enabled McMahon to end a pharmaceutical pain killer habit.

The Cannabis Sports Policy Project is founded by North American Cannabis Holdings. Jim McMahon is the spokesman for the Cannabis Sports Policy Project. The Cannabis Sports Policy Project operates separate from North American Cannabis Holdings to raise awareness for the benefits of medical marijuana over pharmaceutical pain killers in the management of pain from injuries incurred by athletes in addition to raising awareness for the potential of medical marijuana to mitigate the long-term damage that can result from repetitive head trauma. The Cannabis Sports Policy Project will also raise funds to advocate for pro cannabis policy changes within sport governing bodies.

North American Cannabis Holdings recently introduced a cannabis infused beverage cafe under the brand name AmeriCanna Cafe as well as separately introducing a line of sports and fitness nutritional supplements under the brand name EVERx.
