Cannabis Statistics: One in Seven Americans are Now Using CBD

PALM BEACH, Florida, Oct. 31, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Demand for CBD-rich consumer products has been explosive in the U.S.  In fact, right now, one in seven Americans say they use CBD products, says a recent Gallup poll. However, those numbers are likely to increase as more CBD makes its way on to many more shelves of major retailers.  In fact, the Brightfield Group estimates the U.S. CBD product market alone to be worth over $23.7 billion by 2023, as CBD finds its way into more consumer product categories including  food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and health and wellness. That's leading to a wide range of opportunity for companies including Veritas Farms Inc. (OTCQB:VFRM), Innovative Industrial Properties Inc. (NYSE:IIPR), Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (CSE:TRUL)(OTCQX:TCNNF), Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE:GTII)(OTCQX:GTBIF), and Planet 13 Holdings Inc. (CSE:PLTH)(OTCQX:PLNHF).
