Projections Indicate the CBD Market is Likely to Boom for Years to Come
Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary
PALM BEACH, Florida, July 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- As more consumers become more familiar with the term "CBD" they are more likely to give it a try. An article in The Green Entrepreneur put it: "Chances are you've heard about CBD, but you may not know exactly what it is, where it came from or why people are so excited about it all over the world. Major skin care and makeup brands… are infusing it into products. Meanwhile different CBD-infused food and beverage brands… seem to pop up every day. Now, you can even buy CBD products for your pets to help with their anxiety, pain and stress." They also noted that the WHO (World Health Organization) points out the safety of ingesting CBD: "Numerous other studies have clearly demonstrated the safety of CBD. A recent report from the World Health Organization states "CBD exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential." In other words, addiction and other abuse issues are not associated with CBD… It primarily acts as a therapeutic agent in your endocannabinoid system, constantly working to get your body into a place of homeostasis. In other words, it helps the body maintain, or recover, a condition of balance or equilibrium within its internal environment, even when stressed." Active companies in the markets this week include: Findit, Inc. (OTCPK: FDIT), Charlotte's Web Holdings, Inc. (OTCQX: CWBHF) (TSX: CWEB), HEXO Corp. (NYSE: HEXO) (TSX: HEXO), Kona Gold Solutions, Inc. (OTCPK: KGKG), Puration, Inc. (OTCPK: PURA).
The article continued: "This research coupled with the spreading legalization of recreational and medical cannabis is why CBD has become mainstream. The increasing worldwide access to CBD products is dispelling many of the myths around it. People who are new to cannabis are recognizing its benefits. The continued growth of the cannabis industry will rely on educating people who are unfamiliar or wary about the plant.
Findit, Inc. (OTCPK:FDIT) BREAKING NEWS : Findit recently procured two CBD topical purchase orders. The orders are scheduled to ship this week. The P.O.s consist of two topical oils in Spearmint and Blood Orange under the brand name "Urban Collective". The products should be available for purchase at the retail stores in August.
The purchase orders are part of a pilot program that each store has initiated in the burgeoning CBD market.
Both buyers will be monitoring sales of the CBD product during the pilot program. Provided sales are viewed successfully, it is possible that Findit, Inc. will receive additional purchase order(s) (P.O.s) to fill their holiday gift giving needs.
In addition to offering CBD products through our B2B channels, Findit provides online marketing services through its site Findit.com to CBD companies. Findit.com is a full service social networking content management platform.

Findit will continue to pursue B2B sales of CBD topical products to major retailers throughout the United States, along with smaller retail regional convenience store chains.
Clark St. Amant stated "CBD is extremely prominent now. The fact that Findit has been providing online marketing services to CBD businesses over the past few years, adding B2B sales to increase revenues will assist in building the Findit brand.
