An excerpt reads:
"The market presence of ChineseInvestors.com, Inc. (CIIX) is increasing significantly as the company continues to diversify its entry points into the cannabis space. CIIX aims to become the world's leading publicly traded Chinese medical cannabis company and is focused on investing in the distribution and R&D of cannabidiol-based (CBD) health products and medicines to Chinese-speaking customers throughout the world.

"Though marijuana is currently illegal in China, cannabis-based oils are not, which gives CIIX prime access to a market of almost 2 billion customers in China. Additionally, CIIX is expanding its footprint to other countries, having recently incorporated CBD Biotechnology Inc. in British Columbia, Canada. This subsidiary will focus on R&D and distribution of health products that include hemp-based CBD, food and beverage items in Canada.

"Recently, CIIX released (http://nnw.fm/w3pbB) news that its wholly owned Chinesehempoil.com, Inc. subsidiary will now officially accept bitcoin payments, enabling customers purchasing hemp-based health products, foods and beverages to use bitcoin alongside other more common payment methods like PayPal and credit cards. This will enable cannabis customers to complete non-cash transactions in countries with government restrictions in place that limit banking options for cannabis businesses, like the United States."
