United Cannabis Corporation Announces Venture With Jamaica-Based Cannabinoid Research & Development Company Limited

Venture to Focus on Research and Development in Jamaica as the Country's Justice Minister Announces Legislation Has Been Drafted to Decriminalize Medical Marijuana on the Island


DENVER, CO-(Marketwired - Oct 2, 2014) - United Cannabis Corporation (OTCQB: CNAB) (the “Company” or “United Cannabis”) today announced that it has participated with a small group of Jamaicans to form a Jamaican corporation named Cannabinoid Research & Development Company Limited (“CRD” or the “Venture”). The Company owns a fifty percent interest in CRD. The Company participated in the formation of CRD in order to further the Company’s mission of advancing the use of cannabis in medical therapies through biomedical and pharmaceutical research and development, within Jamaica. The Venture has identified a 30,000 square foot facility in Kingston’s industrial zone to serve as its corporate headquarters, but a lease has not yet been signed.

Despite its association with Jamaica and its culture, marijuana has actually been illegal there since the 1961 United Nations Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs. Ironically, the Jamaican government has been hesitant to decriminalize marijuana until now for fear of triggering hinted-at sanctions from Washington. That pressure has diminished in conjunction with the trend toward legalization in the US, and today the Jamaican government announced legislation has been drafted to decriminalize marijuana for medical purposes by the end of 2014.

Commenting on the announcement, Earnest Blackmon, Chief Executive Officer of United Cannabis, stated, “I have visited Jamaica during my 20-year career cultivating medical cannabis, and have long championed their decriminalization of marijuana. With that milestone clearly on the horizon, we formed CRD to formally establish our presence in Jamaica and begin preparing an application for a provisional license so we will be ready to apply the minute submissions are being accepted.”
