TORONTO, ONTARIO / ACCESSWIRE / May 23, 2019 / MPX International Corporation ("MPX International", "MPXI" or the "Company") (CSE: MPXI; OTC PINK: MPXOF) is pleased to announce that its Swiss subsidiary, HolyWorld SA ("HolyWeed") is one of the first companies to have received the Belgian government authorisation to commercialise CBD products with THC below 0.2% across the country, and is the only company currently authorized to sell high CBD pre-rolls.

The approval allows for the sale of smokable CBD products with THC content below 0.2% in thousands of retail locations across the country, giving HolyWeed a first mover advantage to build a strong brand presence among the 11 million Belgian population.

Belgium serves as an ideal entry point into the European Union free-market and demonstrates HolyWeed's agility in pursuing new and promising growth opportunities. Robust CBD markets like the UK, Italy and Germany will now be more accessible and viable allowing HolyWeed to further position itself as a leader in the European CBD market.

HolyWeed is fully verticalized from seed to sale and its product range consists of 100% certified organic, Swiss grown high CBD hemp, and includes the following:

Pre-Rolled Joints: Each quality-preserving package contains 5 joints filled with organic high CBD flowers.

Through guidance and support from MPXI, HolyWeed will be able to foster brand and product line growth across Europe at a significantly accelerated pace.
