Medicinal Marijuana Continues Strong Growth Behind Advanced CBD Applications and Uses

Palm Beach, FL – (November 8, 2018) – The cannabis sector as a whole is currently in the midst of a boom with the recent positive news of full legalization in Canada, but the medicinal sector of the market is also doing exceptionally well as companies develop new products leveraging CBD. The healthcare market has seen an uptick in consumers searching for alternative medicines, and cannabis has positioned itself very well to take advantage of this new demand. Leaders in the industry are expanding their market reach with new products and effective marketing campaigns in various states where medicinal cannabis is legal. Additionally, the loophole of CBD’s ambiguity when it comes to legality has allowed companies to tap into markets where Cannabis is otherwise unavailable.
