DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / December 15, 2016 / Medicine Man Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: MDCL), one of the country's leading cannabis branding and consulting companies announced that it will end the year with at least 23 new clients in eight states including clients in CA, OR, MD, PA, AK, CO, FL and Puerto Rico noting 12 of these new relationships were entered into during the fourth quarter of this year. The Company has continued to expand its relationships and influence in the industry through its activity in these states and will continue to expand its industry presence as additional markets become available.

In addition to extending its current service offerings, the Company is pursuing strategic acquisitions that will allow it to offer additional products and services to clients as it continues to work towards completion of the Pono Publications and Success Nutrients acquisitions. The Company has an open ended interim operating agreement with both of these businesses so that it may work to streamline integration once this acquisition is completed. Andy Williams, the Company's CEO, recently stated, "This acquisition should provide the Company with a both a new as well as residual revenue stream in addition to adding a very talented executive in Josh Haupe," who has been referred to as the "Steve Jobs of Marijuana." In addition to this acquisition, the Company is actively pursuing other potential acquisition targets that will allow it to continue to expand consulting service and other product offerings. As the Company continues to execute its strategic plan of establishing itself as a premier brand warehouse on a national level, management is optimistic that the Company will successfully reach one of its goals to qualify for listing of its common stock on a nationally recognized exchange.
