TUCSON, AZ / ACCESSWIRE / February 24, 2021 / WEED, Inc.

Thanks to the Company's extensive R&D history and the current state of worldwide politics and public opinion, WEED's management believes the cannabis and hemp markets are ready for another wave of expansion and growth. The Company is pleased to announce its new program to expand its global research & development program, which currently includes WEED Inc. subsidiaries in Australia, Israel, Hong Kong, and the USA. At the same time, the Company will launch an aggressive program to identify, acquire, and integrate domestic and foreign assets and businesses that will most directly benefit from the continued opening up of cannabis markets worldwide - principally, retail and wholesale producers of cannabis and hemp plants and their derivative products.

"All indications are that the Cannabis and Hemp markets have momentum and we want to give the opportunity for the public to join us," said Glenn E. Martin, CEO of WEED, Inc.

It's where stoners meet Wall Street."

WEED, Inc.'s Subsidiaries

WEED Israel (Cannabis) Ltd. "After over a year of putting human clinical trials and product development on hold due to COVID, WEED Israel is poised and anxious to build out our global brands in both pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical categories, starting with women's health and veterans' ailments (PTSD) to healthy green alternative medicines" stated Elliot Kwestel, Managing Director of WEED Israel (Cannabis) Ltd. based outside Jerusalem. Kwestel further commented, "WEED Israel looks to enrich our lives for generations to come."

WEED Australia Ltd. and The Cannabis Institute of Australia (C.I.A.), our Australian non-profit arm, based in Queensland on the Gold Coast. Managing Director Patrick Brodnik commented, "With the new rules just out governing cannabis in Australia and the announcement on 1st. February 2021 to allow over-the-counter CBD medicines in pharmacies, WEED Australia is excited for the future, and we congratulate the USA's new administration of President Joe Biden and its historic vote for Vice President Kamala Harris." Managing Director Brodnik continues, "The future of decriminalizing cannabis and hemp in the USA shall prove to be a giant leap forward for global cannabis legalization."

WEED Hong Kong Ltd. Director Nicole Breen agrees, "The pandemic has affected all of us on a worldwide basis. Healing our planet with natural therapies, treatments and eventual "cures" utilizing natures' own Cannabaceae plant with its many properties, both with high tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) compounds, I believe will change the force of medicine forever in the years to come."

Securities are offered and distributed pursuant to Regulation A+ through Dalmore Group LLC, a registered broker dealer, member FINRA (www.FINRA.org) and member SIPC (www.SIPC.org).
