GRN Holding Corporation Announces Rebranding to Marijuana Inc. Under the Leadership of the โHenry Ford of the Marijuana Industry,โ Donald Steinberg
Press Release | 06/26/2024
ESTERO, Fla., June 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- GRN Holding Corporation, (OTC: GRNF) is proud to announce its strategic rebranding to Marijuana Inc. (www.marijuanainc.com) to signal a new era of growth and innovation in the global cannabis industry. This transformation is led by the renowned CEO, Donald Steinberg, whose illustrious career in the marijuana sector spans over five decades.
Donald Steinberg: Recognized as the "Henry Ford of the Marijuana Industry.โ
Donald Steinberg, documented in multiple books for his pioneering efforts in the marijuana industry, has a storied history that sets him apart from all others in the field. In the 1980s, Steinberg was recognized by Centac, a U.S. government agency, as the largest importer of marijuana into the United States in the 1970s and the largest U.S. distributor. His unmatched ability to build and scale massive global organizations is showcased in his extensive experience and achievements, which continued in all avenues he has pursued as a disruptive entrepreneur.
A notable moment in his career was featured in an interview with American journalist and talk show host Charlie Rose, who highlighted his significant contributions and insights into the marijuana industry. A โteaserโ excerpt of Steinbergโs interview with Rose can be viewed at the following link: https://youtu.be/AgqYZr-fZFc.
Being described as โThe Henry Ford of the Marijuana Industryโ and the โInventor of the Marijuana Industryโ by investigative journalist James Mills exemplifies the impact Steinberg has made on the marijuana industry. Nearly half of the U.S. now legalizes marijuana for recreational use with even more states decriminalizing marijuana or approving its use for medical purposes. Building this foundation was not without risk. Steinberg, like others, was punished for his highly successful efforts in bringing full freighters of marijuana directly into ports across America for distribution.
Since then, Steinberg has been quiet about his past and has worked to successfully build innovative and disruptive businesses unrelated to marijuana, showcasing his expertise as an honest and intelligent businessman in a multitude of areas. Today, for the first time, he is opening up about his trailblazing past in the marijuana industry of the United States, in order to propel Marijuana Inc. to the forefront of the global market.
Steinberg's Vision for Marijuana Inc.
In the 1990s, Steinberg co-founded One World Communications, one of the worldโs largest affiliate marketing companies in the international telecom industry, boasting over 200,000 members across more than 30 countries. His visionary approach continued in 2008 when he co-founded Medical Marijuana Inc., the first company on a U.S. stock exchange dedicated to the marijuana industry.
โAs many countries relax their laws on marijuana, I see an opportunity to be involved at the beginning of a new chapter in the marijuana industry. Moving ahead with this idea, I formed Marijuana Inc., took control of an existing public company and merged the two entities to pursue growth opportunities. The name change has been filed and we are awaiting final approval from OTC now,โ said Steinberg.
Global Expansion with Legendary Seeds
During this time, Legendary Seeds, a Colombian company formed by Andres Perez and One World Legends, has been at the forefront of producing a wide variety of Landrace strains and well-known hybrids. One World Legends, led by Rocky Petrullo, has supplied Legendary Seeds with the genetics to produce these strains, including Panama Red, Acapulco Gold, Mowie Wowie, and many more. Gaining approval from the Colombian government to export started two years ago, and is now in the final stages, marking a significant milestone in the global marijuana market.
Conclusion
Under Steinbergโs leadership, Marijuana Inc. is poised to revolutionize the marijuana industry once again by leveraging his extensive experience, innovative vision, and strategic global partnerships. Stay tuned for further updates as Marijuana Inc. continues to make strides in becoming a leading global provider of premium cannabis products.

About One World Legends (OWL)
One World Legends has sourced many landrace strains for growing in Colombia. Through OWLโs licensed grow and export partners the company brings a Marijuana World Tour to its customers offering genetics from Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Africa, Jamaica, Mexico, Colombia, Hawaii, Panama and the United States. Since OWLโs partners grow their cannabis genetics in a laboratory with tissue culture, they can fulfill orders for identical THC products weekly, monthly, yearly, and for decades with the same genetic characteristics. Because the genetics are also landrace strains, the tissue culture process also serves as protection for their genetic collection. They are currently growing tissue culture in Colombia of 17 strains as part of their global launch.

About Legendary Seeds
Marijuana Inc. and One World Legends Inc (OWL) are working with licensed Colombian cultivator Andres Perez in a joint venture. Perez states that after nearly two years of genetics testing, growing, and plant selection he has submitted the first of several planned joint government agronomic evaluations required for export licenses.
โWe have successfully culminated our first agronomic evaluation trials (called PEAs) in which we observed and tested 10 different cannabis strains representing a mix of world cannabis genetics, seven of these being psychoactive and three being non-psychoactive (CBD and CBG).
The results of this first trial were exciting as it demonstrated the stability and uniformity of our genetics and their adaptation to the Caribbean environment,โ said Perez. โAs we expected, Northern Lights, Girl Scout Cookies and Hawaiian Maui performed at peak, leaving us with a great sense of what these strains are capable of. Great bud formation, high trichomes density, intense fruity aroma and bright colors are just a few of the attributes that these strains possess. Likewise, Lemon G, ACDC and Cherry Blossom have nothing to envy to our psychoactive genetics. These strains go far in taste and smell, nothing compared to the hay-like, woody taste of the hemp varieties found around the globe, while hitting under the desired 0.3% of THC. These for sure will have a great impact in helping patients worldwide as smokeable CBD and CBG. We are very excited about our first PEA results, and we are proud to become one of the few companies in Colombia to go this far. This is just the tip of the iceberg.โ

$GRNF GRN Holding Corp Announces Joint Venture With One World Legends on Global Distribution of Cannabis
https://www.globenewswire.com/news-release/2023/08/15/2725536/0/en/GRN-Holding-Corp-Announces-Joint-Venture-With-One-World-Legends-on-Global-Distribution-of-Cannabis.html
ESTERO, Fla., Aug. 15, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- GRN Holding Corporation, (OTC Pink: GRNF) and Marijuana Inc., having recently merged into a consolidated entity, announce a joint venture with One World Legends, (OWL) a distinguished player in the cannabis sector. This strategic partnership marks a significant step forward in shaping the future of the cannabis industry and fostering innovation, growth, and global collaboration.
Donald Steinberg, CEO of Marijuana Inc., shared his enthusiasm, stating, "We have been working with One World Legends for 2 years on this project. The joint venture signifies a powerful fusion of expertise, vision, and dedication. OWL has a selection of seventeen (17) Landrace strains, which include some famous old strains such as Acapulco Gold, Maui Wowie, Colombian Punta Roja, Durban poison, Jamaican Lambs Breath, Thailand and more. OWL is also growing another selection of twenty (20) more of the most famous hybrid strains in the world which are currently growing in Colombia in preparation for Global distribution. According to the government inspectors, OWL's licensed farm in Colombia cultivates the most diverse strains with the highest quality they have seen quality. Mr. Petrullo has a "one-of-a-kind" business plan, now being implemented and setting the groundwork for large-scale cannabis distribution, both CBD and THC flower varieties.
The strategic alignment of Marijuana Inc and One World Legends is poised to revolutionize the cannabis industry. With a shared commitment to excellence, sustainability, and groundbreaking solutions, this collaboration aims to redefine industry standards and empower stakeholders on a global scale."
Rocky Petrullo, President of One World Legends (OWL), shares his vision: "One World Legends first deployed a strategy to source the parent strains of all the hybrid strains that are sold world-wide today. Without these "parent" strains there would be no hybrid strains on the dispensary shelves. And these "Landrace" strains, standing on their own, are nature's original herb, ganja, weed, which many connoisseurs have never had access to but would love to experience. For us it is very important that our selected legendary cannabis strains are known to enhance health of the mind, body, and spirit. Once sourced, the next step of his vision was to grow, harvest, test, and become certified by the licensing authority for export, which is underway today. Once OWL has accomplished the current agronomic evaluations, the company plans to distribute to licensed importers, distributors, connoisseurs, and Medical/Scientific Organizations World-Wide a menu of thirty cannabis strain COA's that includes known "Colombian" and other legendary global landrace strains, along with famous Hybrids, which will provide a competitive edge engaging the world market. OWL's significant industry leading strategies include "preserving the past to ensure the future" of cannabis strains by using the science of tissue culture to memorialize the best of the phenotype legendary strains, by being able to save the plantlet clones for decades in an environment free of the risks associated with mother plants becoming contaminated and exhausted. We wish to stand apart thru exact genetic duplication for every order by using the science of tissue-culture banking (micro-propagation) and creating medically significant cannabis products through the use of nanotechnology and DNA science. Our flower guarantee is that a customer will receive the exact same genetic quality, shipment after shipment. Additionally, our genetics preservation methodology allows us to create new hybrids years or decades down the road".
OWL VISION: To be the Number One, World-Leading Landrace, Heirloom, and Premium flower, plantlet, clone, seeds, and product supplier for licensed importers and additionally to distribute extracts, edibles, and other finished cannabis product to a world market.
INTERNATIONAL SALES STRATEGY: OWL has established relationships and customers in many countries, and our Berlin Office is equipped to manage the European customers with on-time and excellent customer service. We at OWL believe European markets will embrace OWL's cultivars, as it is widely accepted that the cannabis grown on the equator is superior in quality, and because our labor and infrastructure is low cost the product prices will be more economical for the importers and more profitable for distributors. Our plan is to open offices in import legal countries when the time is appropriate.
This partnership represents a new chapter in the cannabis industry, by uniting our strengths with those of Marijuana Inc, we are well-equipped to drive innovation, cultivate customer satisfaction, and contribute to the industry's continuous evolution.
One World Legends brings to this alliance a remarkable track record in the cannabis sector, in the form of technological advancements and market insights, which perfectly complements the strengths and achievements of both companies.
As pioneers in their respective fields, Marijuana Inc and OWL are united by a shared vision to propel the cannabis industry forward. This collaboration underscores the commitment to elevating industry standards, expanding market reach, and fostering the responsible use of cannabis-based products.
Clients, partners, and stakeholders of GRN Holding Corp, can anticipate a host of groundbreaking initiatives, products, and services as a result of this partnership, all designed to shape the future landscape of the cannabis industry.
