CBD and Cannabis in the News

There is so much going on in our world these days, we want to take a moment to highlight some of the different CBD and cannabis-related articles that have caught our eye recently. From booming cannabis sales to Disney, a variety of topics have popped up in the industry-related news lately, indicating the popularity and continued awareness of CBD and cannabis use is on the rise. While these topics only cover a small portion of current industry news, they stood out to us and we wanted to share them with you.

Not too surprisingly, we recently came across this headline, “San Rafael pot sales hit record amid pandemic” (learn more), which highlights how marijuana delivery sales in San Rafael have set a new record during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to city tax records. While this is specific to San Rafael, California, it is evident that the increase in both CBD and cannabis-related sales has been much more widespread. For example, a simple Google search of “CBD growth” suggests a sales growth rate of 22.2% from 2019 to 2025, reaching more than $23 billion by 2025. There is no doubt that more people are spending more money related to this industry.

It also includes first-person narrative and emotional stories of patients for whom CBD has been a lifesaving medicine. It looks to be an eye-opening documentary.

Finally, we get to the something-for-everyone stuff! This article features Grandma, CBD and Disney: “Grandmother sues after she was arrested at Disney with CBD oil in her purse” (learn more).
