Lead CannaVest Scientist Interviewed About Hemp Cannabidiol (CBD) Production,
Family Shares Experience With Real Scientific Hemp Oil(TM)

SAN DIEGO, 2014-02-13 15:00 CET (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
CannaVest Corp. (OTC: CANV), the world's leading hemp-based investment company
spearheading the development of cannabidiol (CBD)-rich hemp oils and other
cannabis industry-related products and services, and its wholly-owned
subsidiary, PhytoSphere Systems, LLC, were recently featured by NBC 7 News in
San Diego. The story by Candice Nguyen explains the rigorous quality control
processes that PhytoSphere Systems adheres to when producing the world's most
concentrated, highest quality industrial hemp CBD oil. As pointed out in the
feature, this CBD-rich hemp oil does not cause a 'high' effect and gives
consumers all the benefits of the cannabis plant, making it a legal product
throughout the United States. Featured on the NBC 7 News report was Stacy
Lynch, mother of 22-year-old Blake Zika, who has been suffering from a
seizure-related disorder since the age of four. The results they share on the
news report are of Blake's experience with Real Scientific Hemp Oil(tm) (RSHO(tm)).

'Each production run of industrial hemp-based CBD oil is tested not only for
the cannabinoid levels; it's tested for pesticides, pathogens--anything that
could be really harmful to the consumer,' explains Dr. Joshua Hartsel, Ph.D,
Senior Scientist & Head of R&D/Pilot Production of PhytoSphere Systems, LLC and
CannaVest Corp. 'In addition, our CBD-rich hemp oil is tested up to five times
and at least once at a third-party lab. We produce natural, non-GMO CBD from
industrial hemp on a large scale. No other company is able to do this.'

PhytoSphere Systems, LLC is internationally recognized for producing the
world's first and most concentrated form of CBD from hemp. Most recently, the
Company took top honors at the 2014 Los Angeles High Times Medical Cannabis Cup
award for the Highest CBD Concentrate with a pharmaceutical-grade CBD-rich hemp
oil prototype, CBD Simple(tm). CBD Simple(tm) is not available for public purchase
and is intended for future product development.

The 2014 Los Angeles High Times Medical Cannabis Cup was the fourth award
competition won by the company for producing the highest concentration of CBD
from hemp. CBD Simple(tm) also won the 2013 High Times Cannabis Cup competition in
Amsterdam, the 2013 Seattle High Times Cannabis Cup, and the 2013 Michigan
