Corporations Backing the Legalization of Cannabis for Wellness Present Texas Teen With Commendation for Leadership and Bravery

DALLAS, March 1, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- North American Cannabis Holdings, Inc. (USOTC: USMJ) in conjunction with Puration, Inc. (USOTC: PURA), ML Capital Group, Inc. (USOTC: MLCG), City Blends Smoothie Cafe, and Nature Comfort Meds, today announced the presentation of a Commendation for Leadership and Bravery to Jaren Suber in recognition of his dauntless six year battle against a rare pediatric brain cancer and his recent decision to lead the way for cancer patients everywhere by exploring the potential of cannabinol (CBD) treatment.  The award was presented yesterday at USMJ's prototype AmeriCanna Cafe in the Dallas Metroplex.

In conjunction with the commendation, Jaren, accompanied by his mother and father, will realize his lifelong dream of visiting the Hawaiian Islands.  The trip is made possible by MLCG and its subsidiary, Platinum Tours of Maui.  The Subers will embark on a luxury, one-week adventure, including airfare, 5-star accommodation and a "dream tour" across the island of Maui, created specifically for Jaren, culminating in a private helicopter excursion like no other.

Upon their return form Maui, Jaren is invited to visit a CBD cancer treatment trial for evaluation as a candidate for treatment.  The ongoing trial is being conducted by PURA's joint venture partner, Natures Comfort Meds.

Jaren was diagnosed six years ago with Pineoblastoma, a rare pediatric brain cancer.  After years of battling his cancer with conventional treatments, Jaren recently decided to pursue cannabinol (CBD) treatment after receiving news in January this year that his cancer was progressing.  CBD comes from the cannabis plant.  It is a non-hallucinogenic cannabinoid that has been shown to have a number of medicinal benefits from treating arthritis to reducing cancer cells.

Jaren's mother, Karen Suber recently came into USMJ's prototype AmeriCanna Cafe located in the Dallas metroplex asking for CBD.  Karen shared Jaren's story with Troy Suddarth when she visited the store.  USMJ purchased the City Blends Cafe licensed shop form Mr. Suddarth and he continues to work with USMJ running the store and helping to develop the AmeriCanna Cafe concept.  Troy was moved by Jaren's story and jumped into action to rally USMJ resources and partnerships to do whatever could be done for Jaren.
