DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / October 12, 2016 / United Cannabis Corporation (OTCQB: CNAB) (the "Company" or "United Cannabis") today announced that it has signed a Memo Of Understanding (the "Memo") with the Megan Strong Foundation (the "Foundation"), regarding a number of projects, including the production and distribution of the United Cannabis-branded Prana Bio Nutrient Medicinals products, in New Brunswick, Canada.

The Memo calls for a number of activities, including the establishment of The Megan Strong Foundation Natural Healing Centre (the "Healing Centre"), which will go on to host a research lab facility and operate an ACT Now Center. All operations will be conducted in accord with the guidelines of the Tobique Compassionate Use Act.

Under the terms of the Memo, the Company will provide its resources and experience to create the operating business plan as well as contribute to the financing and investments necessary to execute the project. The Megan Strong Foundation will provide the facilities and contribute staff and other resources necessary for the building and operation of the Healing Centre.

Once the Healing Centre is completed, the companies intend to work together to produce and distribute the Company's Prana Bio Nutrient Medicinals and establish an ACT Now facility to service patients in Canada's Aboriginal communities, as well as creating a research laboratory.

Former Chief Gerald Bear, New Brunswick Advisor of Aboriginal Affairs and Chairman of the Megan Strong Foundation, commented on the announcement, "United Cannabis' Prana products gave me and my family the gift of time with my daughter Megan. Just four months after giving birth to my granddaughter, she came out of remission and was given 6 weeks to live. Instead of turning to aggressive chemotherapy, she chose a natural therapy and began to use the Prana products, and we were blessed with another 20 months of memories, which we will cherish forever."

Former Chief Bear went on to say, "My family's experience with United Cannabis is not unique and I am determined to provide the same opportunity to other patients across Aboriginal communities in Canada."

Earnest Blackmon, United Cannabis' CEO, commented on the partnership, "We hear stories like Megan's every day, and this agreement will help us reach more patients, which is our ultimate goal."
