PALM BEACH, FL -- February 27, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- FinancialNewsMedia.com -- The amazing consumer acceptance of CBD infused products is fueling a rush among every possible outlet from mom-and-pop corner stores to multi-national retail distributors. The Business Insider said: "The roughly $1 billion CBD industry is already shifting into high gear, with retailers selling everything from CBD teas and beer alternatives to CBD dog treats, coffee, and supplements… Here's a look at a handful of the CBD-based products that have recently become available. Lotions, balms, and creams infused with CBD are sold in dispensaries and corner shops. Heineken and other beer labels are betting on brews made with CBD instead of alcohol.  CBD vape pens and gummies are becoming increasingly popular… A handful of pet stores sell CBD treats for your pooch. Boutique grocery chains and dispensaries sell CBD water, juice, and tea. CBD coffee is a thing too… and Supplement-makers are adding CBD to their formulas and making new pills crafted with the ingredient… it's clearly a lucrative — and blossoming — industry."   Active Companies from around the market with current developments this week include:  Puration Inc. (OTC: PURA), Marijuana Company of America, Inc. (OTC: MCOA), Liberty Health Sciences Inc. (CSE: LHS) (OTC: LHSIF), PotNetwork Holdings, Inc (OTC: POTN), Hemp Inc. (OTC: HEMP).

An industry research group's headline of a market study said: "Hemp-Derived CBD Will Outpace All Other Cannabis Markets, Projected to Hit $22 Billion by 2022 - As the CBD market consolidates, wholesale retailers are expected to provide exponential growth."  The article went on to say: "Right now, online orders of hemp-derived CBD products are the primary sales driver. Companies… can ship CBD products anywhere in the U.S., as long as the plant source meets that legal definition of industrial hemp and includes less than 0.3-percent THC. The trend that (the report) points to, however, is a flip from mostly retail to mostly wholesale. As these products become normalized in U.S. wellness markets, the online ordering process—direct to consumer—will quickly be replaced by a more traditional market that involves wholesale opportunities."
