Cannabidiol (CBD) Health Benefits Generating Massive, Lucrative Opportunities in Cannabis Industry

PALM BEACH, Florida, November 14, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary 

Cannabidiol or CBD is one of many compounds extracted from the cannabis plant. Researchers continue to actively search for many possible therapeutic uses of CBD. This past summer major headlines were made when Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the prescription use of Epidiolex, a purified form of CBD oil, for treating two types of epilepsy. Alternative medicinal uses and applications continue to be a fast-growing segment in the medical marijuana community and CBD-based solutions are at the forefront of the growth. Another key reason for the segment's strong growth has been the passing of legislation that has relaxed regulations on the substance in the United States. As a result, cannabis, medical marijuana and CBD stocks are set to take off as the future appears very green for industry. Active cannabis companies in the markets this week include Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTC:ETST), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE:ACB) (TSX:ACB), Pyxus International Inc. (NYSE:PYX), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC:TRTC), Isodiol International Inc. (CSE:ISOL) (OTC:ISOLF).

Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTCQB: ETST) BREAKING NEWS: Earth Science Tech, an innovative biotech company focused on the cannabidiol (CBD), nutraceutical and pharmaceutical fields, medical devices, and research and development, announced this week that it has commenced filming of its direct response television (DRTV) media campaign with mega-entrepreneur Kevin Harrington's award-winning As Seen On TV production company. The film will include an interview with a customer whose life was positively changed by ETST's High Grade Full Spectrum Cannabinoids.

As announced in September, ETST signed an agreement for an As Seen On TV campaign that will include a 60-second DRTV commercial spot to be aired 300 times within 10 selected regions and selected networks; a 15-second promotional video to be used for digital and social media purposes; a featured placement on the website for 12 months; complete licensing rights to the commercial spot and promotional video; and permission to use the world-famous As Seen On TV logo on ETST's products.

Production of the campaign begins in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, where Rhoda Friedman shares how ETST's CBD products have provided relief from pain she has endured for 31 years.

"I've been on ETST's CBD since April 2017. I am 73 years old and I have been in excruciating pain from approximately 1987. Until I started CBD, I was not able to walk steps or stand for more than five minutes without severe pain in my lower lumbar, which I had surgery on eight years ago - and the pain just increased. I was on 29 pills a day and I am happy to say that five days after I began CBD and ever since I have only been on a blood thinner. I have been able to walk, go up and down the steps, dance, and move about in ways I never thought I would ever be able to do again. I have trichotillomania, which is pulling out of the hair, but I have not been affected by it since I've been on the CBD. I had a fatty enlarged liver from hepatitis C … three months after I started taking CBD my liver was normal size with no fat - it returned to normal. I also suffered since 1990 with post-traumatic stress disorder where my hands were shaking to the point I could barely feed myself. The shaking totally stopped within the first day of the CBD. I also suffered from obsessive compulsive disorder to the point where it disrupted a lot of my activities. I no longer suffer from that. I had anxiety attacks … I no longer suffer from that. In short, my life is back to what it was when I was in my 40s and suffered from none of it."

The film will air nationwide in the first quarter of 2019, and will also be shared via social media for optimal brand awareness. ETST owns the rights to the material, as well as how it will be disseminated and utilized in retail locations.  Read this and more news for ETST at http://www.financialnewsmedia.com/news-etst
