American Green Completes Joint Venture with Hempful Farms

ERBB acquires revenues and production capability for CBD Pet Products in Its Online Retail Store

PHOENIX, AZ--(Marketwired - Jun 6, 2017) - American Green, Inc. (OTC PINK: ERBB) is very pleased to share that it has completed the formation of a joint venture with Hempful Farms, Inc. of Phoenix. The Joint Venture will allow the company to market and sell Hempful Farms' 'Paw Puddy pet line of CBD products in American Green's online store found at www.americangreencbd.com and available on that site in the next few days. The line, begun four years ago as a salve for dog's paws (hence its name) is now available in twenty-seven dispensaries in Arizona as well of three of the largest dispensaries in Colorado and in Hempful Farms online store at www.hempfulfarms.com. Opportunities to expand into an equestrian line, something American Green has pursued for some time, as well as the opportunity to work with Hempful Farms' other product lines are all opportunities American Green wishes to pursue.

Chris Martin, who created Hempful Farms, built a company dedicated to producing hemp products made of only the best ingredients available after he and his family noticed improvements to their health from the use of CBD products. Extracted from the cannabis plant, cannabidiol (CBD) has wide potential and ever-increasing recognition as a medical treatment. On May 25, 2017 the New England Journal of Medicine published results from a peer-reviewed double-blind placebo-controlled trial showing successful use in the treatment of Dravet Syndrome, a complex childhood epilepsy disorder that is associated with drug-resistant seizures and a high mortality rate. (http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa1611618) Unlike THC found in marijuana, CBD does not create the psychoactive effects that can produce the "high" one experiences when consumed for that purpose. Martin's rottweiler, Sarge, was diagnosed with hip dysplasia that caused him to limp. Without hope for another treatment, Martin had the idea of treating Sarge's condition with the same CBD products he was using. The positive results led to the birth of Paw Puddy, a product line geared toward helping pets. Chris and Andrea Martin have been making their hemp-infused Paw Puddy products in limited space; however, the popularity of their products dictates they expand their facilities immediately in order to keep up with demand. Hempful Farms' venture with American Green will make that happen.

"We've been working toward this in some way for over two decades. It's great to finally have a partner like American Green who we can work with to get to the next level. Our demand is already beyond our current ability to fulfill because our products are so popular with current customers. Now we can increase supply and service even more people with confidence. The Paw Puddy line (and our other products) should to be enjoyed by anyone and everyone who needs them. Today marks the day we can sincerely begin to speed up achieving that goal," commented Chris Martin.

"We've had a deep appreciation for CBD and the hope it holds for people and their pets for several years. Expanding American Green's product line has always been part of ERBB's plan and this joint venture is an excellent beginning of that expansion," said David Gwyther, Chairman and acting president at American Green. "We look forward to the day when yet-undiscovered cannabinoid solutions to a healthy life join CBD as a natural way of combatting the health challenges experienced by people and their pets. Working with Chris, Andi and the team at Hempful Farms to offer their products is a day we have long awaited," concluded Mr. Gwyther.
