Cannabis Market Expected to Explode For CBD Based Medicines and Products as Farm Hemp Bill Passing Nears

PALM BEACH, Florida, December 13, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary 

The expected imminent passing of the Farm Hemp Bill is projected to provide a significant boost to the cannabis market as hemp will become effectively legalized, allowing for increased production and support for cannabis farmers. A much anticipated end to hemp prohibition has been approved by a House-Senate panel, potentially opening the door to hemp production in all 50 states for any use, but especially opening the doors for CBD based medicines and consumer products. The measure is included in the 2018 Farm Bill, which passed the Senate 87-13 on Tuesday and still must pass the House before work is concluded for the year and all pending legislation dies. The Farm Bill essentially would take hemp off the federal controlled substances list which in turn should be an incredible boon for Cannabis based stocks in the market. Active cannabis companies in the markets this week include Earth Science Tech, Inc. (OTC:ETST), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC:TRTC), Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE:ACB), INSYS Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ:INSY), CV Sciences Inc. (OTC:CVSI).
