[ACCESSWIRE]
CORAL GABLES, FL / ACCESSWIRE / December 11, 2018 / The Brightfield Group, a research firm, recently published a 2018 market overview and analysis on hemp-derived CBD.
The summary of their analysis states, "Between 2017 and 2018, the U.S. hemp-derived CBD market has nearly doubled in size, but the five-year growth projections for this market are now dramatically higher than they were a year ago. This is because the full legalization of hemp-derived CBD is now a real and likely prospect following Republican Mitch McConnell's recent proposal of the Hemp Farming Act of 2018 (Farm Bill). This legislation - likely to pass later this year - would clearly and unambiguously legalize hemp as well as its derivatives, extractsand cannabinoids, including hemp CBD."
As the Farm Bill decision gets closer, here are four cannabis stocks to watch this month.
