SAN DIEGO, CA --(Marketwired - December 13, 2016) - Medical Marijuana, Inc. (
The Dec. 12, 2016, article entitled "The Cannabis Market That Could Grow 700% by 2020" states, " The Hemp Business Journal estimated that the CBD market will grow to a $2.1 billion market in consumer sales by 2020 with $450 million of those sales coming from hemp-based sources." Those figures cited would total a 700% increase from 2016.
The article continues: " Medical Marijuana, Inc. said that there were $65 million in hemp-based CBD sales in 2015 and that they are the current market leader with over $800,000 in retail CBD sales per month. Their CBD sales have grown from $3.4 [million] in 2013 and are expected to be $9 million in 2016."
"When Medical Marijuana, Inc. launched the first-ever hemp-based CBD products, the Company knew that we were creating an intriguing product category that could potentially help millions of people to higher levels of overall health and wellness. We're grateful to Forbes for covering our industry," said Chief Executive Officer of Medical Marijuana, Inc . Dr. Stuart Titus. "However, not everyone predicted a $65 million industry within two years and a projected $450 million industry within seven years. That has meant jobs and livelihood for thousands of people around the world."
"Further, the black market for cannabis (THC) products has been developing for the past 50 years and today reaches $120 billion in the US and $240 billion worldwide. We continue to believe that when similarly developed, the CBD marketplace will approach 50% of these figures, so $60 billion in the US and $120 billion worldwide."
The Forbes article also discusses many of Medical Marijuana, Inc.'s subsidiary companies including Kannaway and their line of Revive products like Revive Pro-X, a hemp oil supplement containing no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), that is made for customers like athletes who need to avoid products with THC.
