(OTC: CVSI), Cannabis Sativa, Inc. (OTC: CBDS)

A significant portion of the total legal cannabis market is the CBD market. Cannabidiol (CBD) is the part of the cannabis plant that is usually used for medical purposes, and is a natural component of industrial cannabis or hemp. Growth of the medical cannabis market is expected to accelerate as the products become more popular treatments for various medical applications such as chronic pain, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sleep disorders, anxiety, nerve pain and others. Bethany Gomez, the Director of Research at Brightfield Group said, "Essentially everyone is trying to do hemp, but only a handful are doing it well. It's seen as easy because it can be sold online but, with restrictions on traditional marketing, it is very difficult to connect with your core consumer and even communicate why they need your product," Forbes reported.

Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) announced earlier today that its wholly-owned foreign enterprise, CBD Biotechnology Co. Ltd., has completed the filing process with the China Food & Drug Administration ("CFDA") for its first line of non-industrial hemp-infused skin care products. The Company expects to launch the CBD Magic Hemp Series skin care line in October positioning CBD Biotechnology as a leader in what it believes to be an untapped segment of China's skin care industry.

The CBD Magic Hemp Series launch will include three (3) products: - The CBDBIO TECH Brightening and Refreshing Moisturizer - intended to balance the skin's moisture, while forming a protective, moisturizing layer; - The CBDBIO TECH Perfecting Shield Primer - intended to even skin tone, while covering fine lines and minimizing the look of pores; and - The CBDBIO TECH Peptide Collagen Solution - intended to moisturize and firm the skin, while smoothing fine lines, and reducing signs of aging.

The CBD Magic Hemp Series line is different from other skin care lines currently available in China because the products are infused with hemp extract, otherwise known as cannabidiol or CBD. CBD, a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, has been widely used in skin care products in western countries for some time.  Although a catalogue provided by the CFDA entitled "Catalogue of Cosmetics Raw Materials in Use (2015)" includes Cannabis Sativa Leaf Extract, CBD Biotechnology is not aware of any other Chinese skin care manufacturers that have entered this emerging market, setting the stage for CBD Biotechnology to proudly take the lead with its innovative product line.

"I am very pleased to announce the upcoming launch of CBD Biotechnology's hemp-infused skin care line, the CBD Magic Hemp Series," says Summer Yun, CEO of CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd. "We have not only completed the filing process with CFDA, but we have also contracted with a large processing factory in Shanghai, China, with over 14-years of experience in cosmetics production."

"China has one of the world's largest consumer markets for skin care products. Retail sales of skincare products and make-up products in China reached 169.1 billion yuan and 28.3 billion yuan respectively in 2016, with year-over-year growth of 5% and 12% respectively. Skin care is expected to reach 223.3 billion yuan in 2021 with growth driven by rising awareness of skin health and consumption upgrading Chinese consumers.  As one of the first hemp infused skin care brands in China, we are confident that CBD Biotechnology will lead Chinese market, with potential for global expansion."
