Initial Focus Will Be Formulations Of Industrial Hemp CBD With Terpenes

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / October 26, 2016 / United Cannabis Corporation (OTCQB: CNAB) (the "Company" or "United Cannabis") today announced that it will be expanding its product offering through the manufacture and marketing of CBD-rich hemp-based formulations for administration via cartridges for use in vaporizers.

Earnest Blackmon, CEO of United Cannabis, commented on the announcement, "Our mission has always been to advance the access of medical cannabis to patients in need, and we felt the ability to offer a vaporizer-compatible delivery mechanism was essential to that effort. With the Company expanding in multiple locations, the principals decided to fund the startup phase of this endeavor with proceeds from the sale of founders' stock. I'm confident this direction will help position us for growth here in the States, as well as strengthening our position in Jamaica and other markets we hope to pursue."

Tony Verzura, the Company's Chief Technology Officer, went on to say, "Our proprietary technology for extracting terpenes from plant material delivers a pure and potent terpene concentrate that can then be used as a diluent in the vaporization / inhalation of cannabis derived compounds, and is a vital element in the formulations of our Prana line. I am excited to utilize this same technology in the processing of CBD-rich hemp, not only does it enable us to expand our product line, it also continues to show the value in our patents."

Management anticipates cartridge production will begin by year-end, initially with the Company's terpene-enhanced CBD vape pen formulation. New formulations are expected to follow shortly thereafter. The Company has purchased Convectium's state-of-the-art 710Shark v.5 Concentrate Filling Machine and System to facilitate production.

Danny Davis, a partner at Convectium, also commented on the announcement, "We are excited that United Cannabis chose us to support their foray into the cartridge market. We understand the need, in this burgeoning yet non-standardized industry, to go beyond the traditional vendor/customer transaction. Our relentless effort to develop better automation for companies in the cannabis sector is exemplified in our fully-automated 710 Shark System. The technology behind our equipment will allow for the best products and services for one of the industry's best names, United Cannabis."
