Companies That Stand to Benefit From Record Growth in CBD Market

LAS VEGAS, April 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --

FN Media Group Presents Microcapspeculators.com News Commentary 

Cannabinoid (CBD) hemp oil is a natural botanical concentrate that is high in the compound cannabinoid. Cannabinoid is a non-psychoactive substance found in cannabis plant along with 85 other substances. It provides relaxation without intoxicating effects when compared to tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD hemp oil is prepared using low concentrations of THC hemp as compared to medical marijuana which is prepared from plants with much higher concentrations of THC. Cannabinoid hemp oil is extracted using a special extraction process designed for high yielding concentration of cannabinoid hemp oil, containing nutritious material such as terpenes, vitamins, omega-3 fatty acids, amino acids, and others.  Mentioned in today's commentary include:  NightFood Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NGTF), GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: GWPH), INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSY), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTCD) (OTC:TRTC), and General Cannabis Corp. (OTC: CANN).

Evidence has also shown that cannabinoid hemp oil helps reduce pain, insomnia, mood swings, and anxiety levels in individuals with addiction. It helps individuals to quit smoking, by reducing craving for nicotine. Studies have also shown that CBD hemp oil helps in reducing drug withdrawal symptoms among individuals who are addicted to the use of opioids. Increasing research on the effects of cannabinoid hemp oil is anticipated to pave the way for treatment of neurological disorders such as epilepsy, neurodegeneration, schizophrenia, and others. According to reports published by the British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, cannabinoid helps in blocking cancer cells from spreading across the body and may help in cancer treatment. Due to the lack of FDA regulation for cannabinoid products, individuals should seek advice from a medical professional before using.

Surge in demand due to anti-inflammatory properties, higher adoption rate of CBD oil in drug withdrawal, rise in awareness about the health benefits of cannabinoid hemp oil, advancements in cultivation process, and increase in influence of online retailing are anticipated to drive the global CBD Hemp Oil Market during the forecast period.

Some public companies purveying CBD products include: NightFood Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NGTF), GW Pharmaceuticals plc (NASDAQ: GWPH), INSYS Therapeutics, Inc. (NASDAQ: INSY), Terra Tech Corp. (OTCQX: TRTCD), and General Cannabis Corp. (OTCQB: CANN).

NightFood Holdings, Inc. (OTC: NGTF)

Market Cap: $10.51M, current share price: $.275 

NightFood Holdings, Inc. (NGTF), a brand development company pioneering the projected billion dollar nighttime nutrition category, and developing unique products in the marijuana/cannabis/cbd related snack space, today announced that Global Investigative Services (GIS) has been retained by the Company in response to recent suspicious trading activities related to Company common stock.

In recent sessions, Company management has identified a pattern of trading that raises strong suspicion that one or more market makers is possibly engaging in "naked shorting" and illegal market manipulation.  Typically, an individual or entity involved in naked shorting will profit by illegally driving down a company's stock price while enticing unsophisticated investors to sell their shares so they may further increase their own profit.  This type of market manipulation is done at the expense of both the shareholder base and the Company, which is why it is illegal.
