LAS VEGAS, Oct. 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — CannaVEST Corp. (OTC:CANV), a leading manufacturer and distributor of hemp and cannabidiol (CBD) based products, released a letter from Michael Mona, Jr., Chief Executive Officer, to stockholders and customers regarding a recent report issued by Project CBD:
Dear Stockholders and Customers,
First, thank you for your continued support of and belief in our company. As you may be aware, on October 14, 2014, Project CBD, an organization claiming to be an educational service on the medical utility of the cannabis plant, issued a “special report” titled Hemp Oil Hustlers. In the report, Project CBD makes numerous allegations against individuals and companies in the CBD industry who are not involved with or related to our company. However, of particular concern are the allegations and statements of purported fact concerning the quality and safety of our products.
We owe it to our stockholders and customers to respond to such allegations. The claims disparaging our products are based on scientific inconsistencies, critical flaws in the methodology used to perform tests and false data. Our industry as a whole is subject to numerous attacks, and typically we do not merit such attacks with a response. In this instance, where the quality and safety of our products is attacked, we owe it to our customers and stockholders to respond.
Our methods for processing our hemp oil are expertly controlled from seed to sale. We have invested substantial effort and capital in establishing a world-class research laboratory and processing facility to ensure that our processes for purifying and processing cannabidiol (CBD) exceed all applicable standards. Our lab has achieved purification in excess of 97% on natural (non-synthetic) hemp-based CBD, and our processes and the efforts of our scientific team should be applauded and not disparaged.
With regard to the specific allegations made by Project CBD:
We have asked the Director of Project CBD, Martin A. Lee, to work with us to vet his conclusions and statements in the interest of ensuring the public has accurate and reliable data concerning our products. Mr. Lee has accepted our invitation and we plan to educate Mr. Lee on our processing methods and protocols. We also will work with Project CBD to provide reliable and accurate test results. Ultimately, we are confident Project CBD will agree its report is fatally flawed as it relates to its conclusions about our products. We look forward to working with Project CBD, because we are confident our processes and end products are the highest quality in the world.
My intention with this letter is to ensure our stockholders and our customers have accurate data concerning the viability and safety of our products. We stand behind our processes and procedures, and we are proud of what we have accomplished to date. We continue to work hard to become world’s largest – and most respected – developer of CBD-based products.
