Breaking News$$$ - Medical Marijuana Inc. to Acquire Biotechnology Company PharmaSphere, LLC from
Converted Organics


Executes Option Agreement to acquire a 100% stake in company.

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Medical Marijuana Inc. (MJNA)
is proud to announce the execution of an option to acquire 100% of PharmaSphere,
LLC. PharmaSphere, a cutting edge biotechnology company which has a solution for
the production of high value bio-compounds sourced from plants that can be used
as active pharmaceutical ingredients. The production of transgenic plants
(genetically engineered plants) for the biotechnology revolution is the
cornerstone of PharmaSphere's focus and overall development for the plant based
medical industry. PharmaSphere holds the exclusive worldwide license for medical
herbs from TerraSphere systems.

TerraSphere Systems' (http://www.terraspheresystems.com) uniqueness for growing
plants in environmentally contained and controlled growth environments created
the first pharmaceutical grade environment for plant based compounds. These
compounds will be used as ingredients for drugs, vaccines, diagnostics,
nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, and industrial enzymes and materials.

PharmaSphere will install TerraSphere Systems inside retrofitted facilities in
order to grow, extract and purify the compounds using environmental friendly
technologies. Additional environmental benefits include substantially less water
& fertilizer use due to metered dispensing, less waste water or fertilizer
discharge due to plant uptake, no chemical pesticides or herbicides, no fuel and
oil use by agricultural machinery, along with no transportation of bulk plant
materials to distant processing facilities.

A major concern for sellers of natural product drugs, medical herbs,
nutraceuticals, and cosmeceuticals is the unreliable supply of top quality active
ingredients as the cultivation of source plants in the field and outdoors is
erratic and the quality of extracts is uneven. With the TerraSphere System and
state-of-the art extraction, purification and quality control technologies, the
company can assure its customers a reliable consistent supply of high quality
plant based compounds such as Cannabidiol, Vincristine and Vanblastine.

Medical Marijuana Inc. at the moment will be focusing on building PharmaSphere
facilities that will cultivate medical herbs such as Madagascar Rosy Periwinkle,
which is the source of the generic cancer chemotherapy compounds vincristine and
vinblastine. These compounds have worldwide markets for the finished drugs in
excess of $4.5 billion. Once facilities are built and the medical marijuana
market is legally accepting of large scale commercialization, the facilities can
be transitioned to grow any medicinal herb by simply changing seeds. However, the
company does plan on building facilities in countries that legally allow the
cultivation of medicinal marijuana and hemp for medical benefits. A few examples
of these countries are Israel, China, and France. Medical Marijuana Inc.
anticipates closing the purchase prior to the end of the fiscal year.
