American Seed & Oil Company and World Hemp Oil Announce EpiVape

posted in: Hemp Farming 0

Dallas, TX (PRWEB) November 25, 2014

Algae International Group, Inc. (OTC: ALGA), through its subsidiary American Seed & Oil Company, Inc., today announced it will work with a new startup, World Hemp Oil, to supply domestically grown and refined hemp CBD oil to produce and market the EpiVape© for seizure disorders.

World Hemp Oil is a wholesale distributor of CBD oil comparable to Charlotte’s Web Medical Marijuana (MMJ) strains. But unlike Charlotte’s Web, World Hemp’s CBD Oil is legal and available in all 50 United States.

The EpiVape© was inspired by World Hemp Oil founder and CEO Christopher Cain, who suffers spasms from a spinal cord injury and has been able to mitigate suffering with CBD oil therapy. CBD oil has been shown to reduce symptoms in neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s, Multiple Sclerosis, and spinal cord injury. The company has a Crowdfunding campaign to finance commercialization of the vaporizer: http://www.epivape.com

American Seed & Oil Company is an early mover in the emerging state-legalized Hemp and Medical Marijuana cultivation markets. The company was recently recognized by NPR as the largest hemp grower in Vermont. The company recently announced Medical Marijuana Pilots in two states, a first step toward commercialization of a larger operation, as evolving state and federal laws permit.
