These are the Biggest Catalysts for CBD in 2020

PALM BEACH, Florida, Oct. 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Investors would be hard-pressed to find an industry expected to nearly double in value over the next four years. The Brightfield Group says CBD could grow to into a $23.7 billion a year industry in the U.S. by 2023 – a CAGR of 100%. Better, consumers are clamoring for CBD products, as retailers race to keep product on shelves. Even Congress has introduced several new cannabis bills. Presidential candidates are even promising legalization. And many more U.S. states could soon legalize its use. At the moment, 33 U.S. states have legalized its medicinal use. Eleven states approved it recreationally. Another nine states are now on track to hold key votes on legalization by 2020, including Arizona, Florida, and New Jersey.
