Part of Medical Marijuana, Inc., HempMeds Brasil LLC was founded in 2012 as the Brazilian first company to bring hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) oil products to market in the US. The company is based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and is the exclusive distributor for premium brands including Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ and Dixie Botanicals®. HempMeds® is the only company to have its CBD products listed in the Prescribers Digital Reference (PDR) and one of the first to be certified by the U.S. Hemp Authority. HempMeds® Brasil was the first company to receive approval from the National Sanitary Surveillance Agency (ANVISA) to import a product based on cannabidiol, a substance derived from hemp. The company's products help in the control of diseases such as epilepsy, Parkinson's, chronic pain, and multiple sclerosis, and can be subsidized by the Brazilian government. HempMeds® Brasil is working on additional approvals for other indications. HempMeds Brasil was acquired by Medical Marijuana, Inc. on January 13, 2016.
