DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 3, 2016 / United Cannabis Corporation (OTCBB: CNAB) (the "Company" or "United Cannabis") today announced that it has signed a Memo Of Understanding "MOU" with A Puerto Rican Health Management Company, whereby United Cannabis will make available its proprietary Prana formulation, delivery methods, software and professional network, sufficient to launch a complete cannabis based product and support facility for the country of Puerto Rico.
United Cannabis' Chief Technology Officer, Tony Verzura, commented on the announcement, "We meet with a lot of different groups that show an interest in our products and services world-wide. We have been in this space for over four years, and we have learned from experience that it is imperative we choose the right partner. We chose this group of doctors because they are driven to help patients, positioned for licensing, funded, and already integrated in the hospitals throughout the Island. I personally met with the group in California and I was immediately impressed with their vision for Prana."
Mentor Capital estimates that the Puerto Rico cannabis market will account for $300 million by the end of 2019, and represent approximately 15,000 related jobs, which is important as the Island's unemployment rate ranges at about 15%.
