Medical Marijuana Inc (OTCMKTS:MJNA) is a stock that presents somewhat of a mystery right now. MJNA has recently come out with what should be very positive catalysts, and yet the stock’s tape continues to feel like it’s under a concrete-soaked blanket – ie, there’s just no upside. And the dime level continues to feel vulnerable. But let’s take a look at the recent catalysts: In just the last two days, MJNA has made two key announcements that seem to imply a direct, if minor, impact on sales.
First, MJNA came out with news that “the State of Mexico” – which is a small but populous area in the country of Mexico – has purchased a little of its CBD product for 11 people. While the actual volume of sales here can’t be more than a rounding error in real money for MJNA, the allure of the announcement is self-evident in terms of validation of the company’s CBD segment. Second, the company announced the next day that its subsidiary HempMeds Brasil held a successful, sold-out Doctor Symposium in Sao Paulo, Brazil on August 15, with 50 doctors in attendance. This suggests further in-roads into the Brazilian market, which poses clear positives. However, neither of these announcements has managed to give bulls a breather from the downward pressure on the offer.
Medical Marijuana Inc (OTCMKTS:MJNA) bills itself as an investment holding company that operates in the medical marijuana and industrial hemp markets.

As discussed above, despite seemingly positive news flow, recent action has seen roughly lateral movement for the stock over the past week, and that pattern has typified the stock’s movement over months as it crawls along super-critical support at the dime level. Market participants may want to pay attention to this stock. MJNA has a track record that includes a number of dramatic bounces.
That said, our own view contends that we will likely eventually see this support level broken hard to the down side. Note that we have been seeing interest climb in recent weeks, with an increase in recent trading volume of 8% over what the stock has registered over the longer term.
We continue to be skeptics of this stock, despite the company’s constant PR work pushing its bullish message:
“Our Doctor’s Symposium in Sao Paulo was a major success and we were encouraged to witness the convergence of doctors interested in learning more about the therapeutic benefits of CBD, as well as families sharing their stories about how our products have helped change their children’s lives,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. CEO Dr. Stuart Titus. “These types of events are critical for improving the treatment options for numerous medical indications including autism, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, cancer, and more.”
“We want to congratulate the State of Mexico’s government for this historic purchase of our RSHO CBD products to help improve the lives of its citizens,” said Medical Marijuana, Inc. Dr. Stuart Titus. “We are a Company of firsts, including having the first and only federally legal CBD product in Mexico and we are excited about this new historic milestone of being the first Company that the Government of Mexico has contracted to purchase and pay for cannabinoid CBD products to benefit its citizens.”
Now commanding a market cap of $315.64M, MJNA reports only unaudited financial data and sits on the pink sheets, so all data has to be taken with a major grain of salt. That said, the company claims that it has a stash ($1.2M) of cash on the books, which must be weighed relative to about $802K in total current liabilities. MJNA also claims to have pulled in trailing 12-month revenues of $10.1M. In addition, the claim is that it is seeing major top line growth, with y/y quarterly revenues growing at 135.2%. We will update the story again soon as developments transpire.
