HempMeds Mexico General Manager Raul Elizalde (C) and his daughter, Grace (HempMeds Mexico)

HempMeds Mexico, a subsidiary of the San Diego-based Medical Marijuana, Inc, opened its first office in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. They said demand for their zero-Tetrahidrocannabidiol (THC) Real Scientific Hemp Oil-X continues to grow in Mexico.

They also announced the company had appointed Raul Elizalde to be the General Manager to lead their strategy in Mexico. Elizalde is the founder of Por Grace Foundation, after a 2015 court ruling his 8-year old daughter Grace became the first patient to legally use CBD. Raul started the foundation, in her name, to spread information about medical marijuana and CBD and to advocate for medical marijuana reform in Mexico.

In April Elizalde joined Mexican President Peña Nieto on stage when the president announced he and the country would pursue medical cannabis reform.

Medical Marijuana, Inc estimates that Mexico’s population of 120 million has the potential of being a $1-2 billion market over the next 10 years. The company’s RSHO-X was the first cannabis product to receive approval from the federal government of Mexico, via a COFEPRIS permit, for importation.
