Executed with Smokiez Edibles and the Marley Family's Kx Family

2024
LAS VEGAS, NV -- February 5, 2024 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- One World Products, Inc. (the "Company,") (OTCQB:
OWPC), a fully-licensed hemp and cannabis producer in
Colombia, today announced that its current business prospects are
unaffected by recent regulatory and political hurdles in
Colombia.
With a business model primarily centered on international
markets and medicinal applications, OWP remains insulated from the
uncertainties surrounding the domestic Colombian THC market for
recreational use. The Company's products, which include a range of
THC solutions provided through medical channels, are derived from
cannabinoids sourced from hemp and are fully compliant with current
regulations.
Isiah Thomas, Chairman and CEO of One World Products, commented,
"Our plans remain unaltered as our products are not affected by the
recent moves by Colombia's Congress. The recently announced
agreements with Smokiez Edibles and Kx Family Care are progressing
and we fully expect to begin production and commercialization soon.
Additionally, our THC products are intended for the international
market and we can export from the Bogotá free trade zone as flower,
oil or finished products. We look forward to providing updates with
our continued progress over the next few months."
In Colombia, where medical cannabis has been legal since 2017,
efforts to legalize recreational use stumbled again in Congress
with a 46/40 vote in mid-December 2023. Surprising fees for
recreational cannabis use introduced by the President just days
prior to the vote added to the complexity of the situation. A
possible re-vote in the next six months could pave the way for a
legal recreational market. Meanwhile, a regulatory directive
effective February 2024 mandates the destruction of all cannabis
inventory over two years old.

According to OTC Markets, One World Products' shares outstanding
were 79.8 million as of January 15, 2024, up slightly from 78.3
million on November 14, 2023.
