The Cannabidiol (CBD) market has arguably been cannabis' best success to date, as CBD-based products continue to work their way into society in a variety of forms, ranging from health and beauty products to pet applications. The growth is expected to continue at a high rate, as data by Statista illustrates consumer sales of CBD will approach $2 billion in the United States alone over the next four years. Factors driving this growth will continue to be a turn of the tide in terms of consumers' opinions and beliefs about the cannabis-derived substance, as well as the increasing number of ways CBD can be applied. Additionally, the common thread of subdued anxiety and inflammation from CBD use will continue to drive market growth as well. Active companies in the Cannabis markets this week include Cannabis Strategic Ventures, Inc. (OTC:NUGS), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC:CVSI), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC:TRTC), Chineseinvestors.com Inc. (OTC:CIIX), Cronos Group Inc. (NASDAQ:CRON) (TSX:CRON).
