United Cannabis Corporation Comments on Recent Insider Selling

Principals Have Allocated a Portion of Their Proceeds to Help Fund Operations

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / September 29, 2016 / September 29, 2016- United Cannabis Corporation CNAB (the "Company" or "United Cannabis") today commented on the recent insider selling activity.

Over the past 30 days the three principals of United Cannabis have executed a number of transactions for the sale of stock held by them. A portion of the proceeds from these sales will be used to help fund the Company's day-to-day operations.

Commenting on the announcement, Earnest Blackmon, the Company's CEO stated, "United Cannabis began largely as a research and development company, which has occasionally been a strain on our finances. That being said, we have been successful in developing a broad portfolio of products and intellectual properties, including our line of Prana Bio Medicinals, which are now generating revenue in dispensaries in California."

Mr. Blackmon went on to say, "Rather than rely solely on investors for the funding of United Cannabis' operations, Tony and I elected to liquidate a portion of our holdings and reinvest a portion of the proceeds in the Company so that we can take advantage of some of the opportunities we see in the market. We believe United Cannabis remains a sound investment and hope that our investors will feel the same."

Following is an overview of these transactions, all of which have been disclosed on Form 4's as filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission, which can be accessed here
