Scientific Breakthroughs Help Establish CBD as a Medical Alternative
As the cannabis industry continues its evolution, competition among companies is becoming more and more ferocious. Over the past year, cannabidiol-based (CBD) products have swiftly emerged thanks to various successful legalization efforts. Specifically, in regions such as the U.S. and Canada, consumers have flocked to retailers to buy a wide range of CBD products including topicals, beverages, tinctures, and patches. In addition, major retail corporations such as Amazon, Walgreens, and CVS have all decided to sell CBD products in-store as well as on their online platforms. Overall, the rapid acceleration of the market is attributable to the passage of the U.S. Farm Bill in late 2018, which legalized the commercialization of hemp-derived products. Yet, despite the growing demand for CBD products, it has become more and more difficult for new players to compete in this market space. Generally speaking, pre-established players such as large corporations with surplus marketing budgets or known dispensaries tend to dominate the marketplace. Nonetheless, the U.S. remains the largest contributor to the global cannabis market, even as the country has yet to federally legalized the plant. And according to data compiled by GlobalInfoResearch, the global legal marijuana market was valued at USD 7.97 Billion in 2019. By 2024, it is expected to reach USD 35 Billion while registering a CAGR of 28% over the next five years. Global Payout, Inc. (OTC: GOHE), The Supreme Cannabis Company, Inc. (OTC: SPRWF), AXIM Biotechnologies, Inc. (OTC: AXIM), Aleafia Health Inc. (OTC: ALEAF), Medmen Enterprises Inc. (OTC: MMNFF).
The growing popularity of CBD is largely attributed to various medical applications that are associated with the products. For example, full-spectrum CBD oil is considered a great source of Omega 3 and Omega 6; Omega 3 plays a vital role in creating hormones that regulate inflammation as well as contractions and relaxation of arteries. They also lower your triglyceride levels in the blood to reduce the chances of suffering from heart disease and stroke. Additionally, the oil is also known to contain vitamins such as A, C, E, and B complex, which can help with the growth and development of vital organs and boost the body’s immune system. “The research is emerging to support the use of CBD for numerous conditions, as well as looking closely at safety, side effects, and long-term effects. There are some valid concerns about long-term use that must be tested before CBD can be recommended for other diseases. As one approach to pain management, it is seen as an alternative option to the addicting narcotics. The use of CBD oil might complement a medical approach to treating physical and mental diseases,” said Debra Rose Wilson, PhD, MSN, RN, IBCLC, AHN-BC, CHT.
