Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

It is only recently that we have truly become educated on the benefits of CBD- and, as a result, the CBD market is now booming. CBD comes in varying forms- tablets, sprays, gummies, vapes- but arguably the most popular of them all is CBD oil.

Like this, but with cannabis. California legislators have so far proposed more than 40 new cannabis laws for the 2019 session, ranging from cannabis tax reductions to banking reforms to party buses. But one bill stands out as a potentially important change to cannabis and hemp cultivation throughout the state: SB-527 would add language to a California law known as the Williamson Act clarifying that cannabis and hemp cultivation count as “agricultural” or “compatible uses” under agricultural land

While cannabidiol (CBD) is a part of the cannabis plant, those who are using it for their ailments often have little in common with those who use regular cannabis. As a non-psychoactive compound, there is no high to be had from taking CBD, which therefore makes it unappealing to the recreational user. So, who is using CBD wholesale products? We have looked at a recent study published in the leading cannabis journal, Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research to find out.

Every new remedy that comes into the public consciousness is treated with a healthy dose of skepticism. Cannabidiol (CBD) has been getting the same treatment. A non-intoxicating derivative of the cannabis plant, it has emerged in recent times as a remedy for both mental and physical ills, with a list of potential benefits that seems endless. So, are CBD wholesale products too good to be true, or can they genuinely as transformative for health as so many people are claiming?

The Farm Bill removes “hemp” from the definition of “marijuana” in the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), so now hemp-based products, like CBD, with less than 0.3% THC are no longer controlled substances.
