Palm Beach, FL – March 14, 2019 – Most know the difference between THC and CBD…and they are, of course, marketed differently due to their differences… but there is one battleground where they will both be competing… and each will probably win! It’s the edibles market! Each should do well indeed. Most of the headlines and projections have focused on CBD, since it can now be marketed in every state, but when THC infused products become easier to reach the market, the consumers of CBD infused products will probably also buy the THC version also. A win-win! A recent Forbes article said: “As more states legalize cannabis for recreational use, edibles will become a huge market for entrepreneurs. In California alone, consumers gobbled up more than $180 million worth of marijuana-infused food and drinks last year, 10% of the state’s cannabis sales, according to… industry research reports… And it’s not just California that’s seeing a growing edibles market. Sales of pot-infused treats increased 121% last year in Washington state, where recreational marijuana is legal, according to cannabis analytics firm… Active Companies from around the market with current developments this week include: Golden Developing Solutions, Inc. (OTC: DVLP), PotNetwork Holdings, Inc (OTC: POTN), Kona Gold Solutions, Inc. (OTC: KGKG), Choom Holdings Inc. (OTC: CHOOF) (CSE: CHOO), Leafbuyer Technologies, Inc. (OTC: LBUY).
The Forbes article continues with …And since Colorado first allowed recreational marijuana use, sales tripled from $17 million in the first quarter of 2014 to $53 million in the third quarter of 2016. The reason for the explosive growth is that as the pot market expands, it’s starting to reach people who don’t want to smoke. Overall the smoking rate among adults is down from 20.6% in 2009 to 16.8% in 2014. Edibles provide a discrete, smoke-free experience. And since they can command higher prices, edibles often account for 25 to 60% of a dispensary’s profits. That makes edibles an appealing slice of the pot pie, which was worth an estimated $7.2 billion in 2016, and is projected to grow up to 25% annually.
