Hemp CBD Production Projected to Become Billion Dollar Market by 2020

PALM BEACH, Florida, November 2, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Hemp based CBD, or cannabidiol, is one of the most talked about, yet misunderstood pieces of the cannabis industry. Hemp-derived cannabidiol (CBD) is projected to be a billion-dollar market in just three years, according to a new report by Brightfield Group. The data company estimates that hemp CBD sales had already hit $170 million in 2016 and a 55% compound annual growth rate over the next five years will cause the market to crack the billion-dollar mark. The market is booming because a variety of CBD concentrates are used to manufacture a variety of products including edibles, topical ointments and even treatments for medical conditions. Active Companies from around the market with current developments include: Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP), Surna Inc. (OTC: SRNA), Medical Marijuana Inc. (OTC: MJNA), SinglePoint Inc. (OTC: SING), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (OTC: TWMJF)

Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) a global leader in the industrial hemp industry with the largest multi-purpose industrial hemp processing facility in the western hemisphere, announced today it has received all brand new, state-of-the-art components of the cannabidiol (CBD) post processing equipment to complete the Company's hemp oil extraction infrastructure (Division 2). The latest equipment additions to the Company's extraction operation will be assembled in the coming days. Read this and more news for HEMP at http://www.marketnewsupdates.com/news/hemp.html

"We chose the most cutting edge, state-of-the-art processing equipment on the market, from Across International, to ensure our CBD extracts lead the industry in quality and consistency, allowing us to bring innovative bulk CBD products to market. We have also partnered with Across International to display this state-of-the-art equipment at our Hemp University educational symposiums in the upcoming year. This equipment allows us to 'winterize' the raw CBD crude oil. After the CBD crude oil is winterized, we are able to perform the remaining post processing so that we can make an array of products, including but not limited to tinctures and cartridges to put it in vape pens… our options are limitless with this equipment," said David Schmitt, COO of Hemp, Inc.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Industrial Hemp Manufacturing, LLC. In August, Hemp, Inc. announced the official launch of its NuAxon Tech CO2 Supercritical Extractor.

"The completion of our hemp oil extraction infrastructure will allow us to ramp up production of CBD products, creating increased Company value for the public and shareholders." said Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin. "The market price of CBD crystalline isolate was roughly $20,000 per kilogram at the early part of 2017. While prices have gone down this year, in some cases, to as low as $6,500 per kilo on the low end volume price, CBD full spectrum extract making customized formulas have in some cases gone up and other cases gone down. Whether the price decreases or increases, I think it's important to note and remind our shareholders that while we expect significant returns from our hemp oil extraction, it's a secondary component of our overall business plan that we added to 'enhance' our revenues. Hemp, Inc.'s primary business is focused on producing non-toxic loss circulation material (LCM) and spill absorbents for the oil and gas industries."

Despite this, companies in the cannabis industry are currently blocked from accessing traditional banking services in the U.S. due to the Controlled Substances Act, which categorizes marijuana as a schedule I controlled substance. Even in states where cannabis has been legalized, marijuana enterprises are plagued by a lack of banking options, which largely forces them to conduct cash transactions. SinglePoint's cannabis cryptocurrency solution, which is now mere weeks away from launching in beta form, could help effectively resolve this.  Through its subsidiary SingleSeed, the company is providing products and services to the cannabis industry.
