Why is the legal status of hemp discussed so much?
Products with the compound Cannabidiol (CBD) are extremely popular today--from coffee to prescription drugs and from oil to ice cream. Currently worth $1 billion, the CBD market is expected to jump to $16 billion by 2025.
This forecast is based on the approval of the U.S. Farm Bill, which made some CBD legal and declared hemp as an agricultural crop. The issue is the subject of much debate because hemp belongs to the same plant species that is responsible for the growth of marijuana.
However, CBD is being used across industries and products. As Business Insider reports, CBD is found in personal healthcare products like lotions, balms, and creams. The FDA recently approved an epilepsy medication called Epidiolex, the first prescription CBD drug. It is manufactured by GW Pharmaceuticals.
CBD is also used in beverages like coffee, tea, juices, and even water and sold at many grocery stores. In Colorado, Strava Craft Coffee is selling coffee made with CBD oil.Berkeley Bowl, a retailer in California, has introduced a drink called Vybes containing 15 mg of CBD. These manufacturers emphasize the soothing effect of CBD.
