PALM BEACH, Florida, October 12, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --
Now that more than 30 states have passed some level of legislative approvals for the industry, a sigh of relief was recently realized as the World Anti-Doping Agency removed CBD, an anti-inflammatory compound derived from cannabis, from its 2018 prohibited substances list. This and other factors are contributing to continued growth across the industry. According to Brightfield Group , data sales of marijuana-derived CBD are expected to hit $176 million and hemp-derived CBD will hit $291 million in 2017, for a total CBD market of $467 million. Hemp and Cannabis Companies in the news today include: Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP), Marijuana Company of America Inc. (OTC: MCOA), CV Sciences Inc. (OTC: CVSI), 22nd Century Group Inc. (NYSE: XXII) and Cannabis Wheaton Income Corp. (OTC: KWFLF) (TSX-V: CBW)
Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with the largest hemp mill in the western hemisphere, announced today that the Company's role in supporting hemp production and manufacturing in North Carolina was recently featured in an October 7, 2017 Huffington Post article titled "Hemp Inc. Pioneers Industrial Hemp Revolution With North America's Largest Industrial Hemp Processing Facility". This indicates the company has positioned itself on the frontlines of America's hemp revolution.
The Huffington Post article states that Hemp, Inc. "is quickly emerging as a pioneering force in what could be the next great industrial revolution." The article also cited that, "All combined, Hemp Inc. is now clearly positioned to be a major player in America's $1 billion hemp CBD product market, and it would not be surprising to start seeing buyout speculation with respect to the company's operational facilities. HEMP's NuAxon Tech CO2 Supercritical Extractor is viewed as an expensive process within the industry, and the big reward behind it is a superior end-product that is potent and safe. The company's 70,000 square-foot Spring Hope, North Carolina industrial hemp processing facility is the only one of this magnitude in North America. All of this creates a huge competitive advantage within the popular marketplace." Read this and more news for HEMP at http://www.marketnewsupdates.com/news/hemp.html
