Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary 

If there's one particular segment of the cannabis industry that has gained an enormous amount of attention lately as well as a peaking curiosity by consumers, it most definitely has to be the cannabidiol (CBD) product market. CBD today is now being applied as an active ingredient for a rapidly growing number of popular consumer products. It is used for beauty products because the compound is said to be good for the skin. It is used for pet care products, found in sports creams for its muscle-relaxant features and is quickly becoming very popular for treating anti-anxiety and anti-inflammatory properties which make CBD popular among people suffering from a sleep disorder, epilepsy, depression and chronic pain. According to Hemp Gazette, the remaining part of 2018 as well as next year could by all means be the breakout year based on recent developments in the market including the first US Food and Drug Administration-approved CBD-derived medicine, Epidiolex, is set to rake in $625 Million in sales for a single year once physicians start prescribing it. Looking ahead, New Frontier forecasts the U.S. CBD market will grow to $1.2 billion by 2020, and nearly $2 billion by 2022. Active cannabis companies in the markets this week include Integrated Cannabis Company, Inc. (CSE:ICAN) (OTC:ICNAF), Hexo Corp. (TSX:HEXO) (OTC:HYYDF), Tetra Bio-Pharma Inc. (TSX-V:TBP) (OTC:TBPMF), Cannabix Technologies Inc. (OTC:BLOZF) (CSE:BLO), Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTC:TCNNF) (CSE:TRUL).

Integrated Cannabis Company, Inc. (CSE:ICAN) (OTCQB:ICNAF) BREAKING NEWS: Integrated Cannabis Company is pleased to announce the successful completion and positive results of a controlled trial of its proprietary Sleep product. The controlled 60 patient trial was completed with a renowned pain clinic in Southern California and the results were highly favorable; resulting in improvement in patients' sleep patterns combined with the unexpected, but highly desirable, decrease in the level of pain. The study results have been published in the peer reviewed journal: International Journal of Pharmacy and Life Sciences (Int. J. of Pharm. Life Sci., Vol. 9:5722-5729).

"The unique formulation of ingredients in the X-SPRAYS™ sleep supplement contributed to a significant improvement in sleep quality together with a reduction in daytime sleepiness, pain, and depression, when compared to the control group. The study was conducted in a controlled and regulated clinical environment, which prohibits the test of cannabis products. Therefore the study was on our non-cannabinoid product. However, our experience with the infusion of CBD into the tested formulation has rendered profound increased benefits. Furthermore, we are actively seeking clinical study relationships in legal jurisdictions outside of North America for our cannabinoid-based products and expect to replicate the aforementioned study in the near term. The spray has the added benefit of being easy to use, is fast acting, promotes a superb night's rest and does not leave you feeling groggy in the morning", said Dr. Clive Spray, CSO of Integrated Cannabis.
