- Financialnewsmedia.com News Commentary

PALM BEACH, Florida, Dec. 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Two major catalysts will drive long-term growth for cannabis. One, major retailers are just beginning to embrace CBD thanks to sizable consumer demand. To date, Neiman Marcus, Sephora, Vitamin Shoppe, Kroger, Barney's DSW, CVS, American Eagle, and Walgreen's have all jumped at the opportunity. Now, even Dick's Sporting Goods announced a deal to sell CBD products in its stores nationwide. Two, two-thirds of Americans now support cannabis legalization. In fact, according to the Pew Research Center, 67% of Americans now support it. In addition, only 32% of adults oppose legalization, as compared to 52% in 2010. That's leading to a wide range of opportunity for companies including CBD Global Sciences, Inc. (CSE:CBDN), Green Thumb Industries Inc. (CSE:GTII)(OTCQX:GTBIF), Charlotte's Web Holdings Inc. (OTCQX:CWBHF)(CSE:CWEB), Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX:WEED)(NYSE:CGC), and Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE:ACB)(TSX:ACB).

CBD Global Sciences, Inc. (CSE:CBDN) BREAKING NEWS: CBD Global Sciences, Inc. just announced the release of financial and operational results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2019. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019; revenue growth of 800% increase to $4.9 million from $600,000 revenue in all of fiscal 2018. The increase is attributed to a larger crop size, more effective farming methods, and the harvesting of plants for smokable and pre-rolled products. A larger variety of products sold in 2019 versus 2018. Addition of CBD products, smokable bud and clones sold in 2019. A larger crop harvest in 2018 (sold in 2019) versus crop harvest in 2017 (sold in 2018). The 2019 crop is larger and more potent than 2018. Gross Profit (before fair value adjustments) increased to 74% in 2019 from 4.9% in 2018. This was a direct result of increase in the sales price per pound with the addition of smokable CBD products and increase consumer demand. Larger amounts of biomass were harvested per plant in 2019 versus in 2018. Potency of CBD per plant continues to increase year over year. The higher the potency of the plant generally will lead to more efficient processing of the plant into CBD oil, which may translate to a higher plant value. A small increase in cost of production per plant of $2.62 in 2019 versus $2.42 in 2018, due to a larger labor base. The Aethics brand products have expanded into new States and locations with current and new retail partners which includes 248 new stores, which included 238 major airports across the U.S. Reorders are already coming in which presents strong sell through with the selected products.
