Earth Science Tech, Inc. (ETST) Takes Advantage of Farm Bill Opportunities, Signs New Chief Sales Officer to Distribute Cannabinoid Products Through Nationwide Chain Retailers

DORAL, Florida (December 20, 2018) – Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) (“ETST” or the “Company”), an innovative biotech company focused on the cannabidiol (CBD), nutraceutical and pharmaceutical fields, medical devices, and research and development, today announces it is taking advantage of the new Farm Bill, which is set to legalize hemp cultivation and hemp-derived CBD and other products in the United States, by signing David Barbash as its chief sales officer beginning in 2019. Mr. Barbash is a results-driven sales and marketing professional with more than 20 years of new business development to his credit and is a proven negotiator, manager and motivator.

 

As has been widely publicized, the 2018 Farm Bill, being signed soon, removes hemp (including hemp-derived cannabinoids containing less than 0.3% THC) from the Controlled Substances Act and transfers oversight of these products from the Drug Enforcement Agency to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The new classification will allow domestic banks to now accept and process transactions related to hemp-derived cannabinoid-based products and opens doors to commercialize these products in the mass market. New Frontier cannabis market data projects the American CBD market will reach $2.3 billion in revenues by 2022.

 

To further take advantage of and capitalize on this amazing new opportunity, the Company has transitioned Jill Buzan, ETST’s current chief sales officer, to direct the Company’s sales in Florida while Mr. Barbash steps in as the new chief sales officer beginning in 2019. Mr. Barbash will begin distributing ETST’s cannabinoid products through his nationwide small, medium and large chain retail accounts.

 

Mr. Barbash brings to the Company more than 25 years of natural products industry experience in both the U.S. and U.K. markets, having previously worked with niche forward-thinking companies like Health From The Sun/Arkopharma, Pure Essence Labs, and Harmonic Innerprizes. He brings extensive international experience and a high level of enthusiasm to his new role at ETST.

 

“It’s an incredibly exciting time at ETST, and I am very thankful to be heading up the team that is going to lead the way in the cannabinoid sector when it comes to product efficacy, purity and clinically backed effectiveness,” Mr. Barbash states. “In 2019, through increased distribution, an expanded sales force, further emphasis on education and projected record sales, we hope to provide a banner year for our customers, future customers and, ultimately, the consumer.”

 

Nickolas S. Tabraue, president, director and chairman of ETST, states, “We are thrilled to add David to our team, and we look forward to an exciting year as he steps in as ETST’s new chief sales officer. His expertise and enthusiasm will be tremendous assets as we ride the wave opportunity afforded by the legalization of hemp cultivation and hemp-derived CBD in the United States.”
