Promo buyers who are on the hunt for some new and unique products may want to give some serious consideration to the many CBD offerings that have shown up over the past 18 months. Creams, face masks, oils, capsules, gummies, and pet products can ease anxieties and relieve pain. While it may seem unchartered territory to many, there is a niche market for these products. And, this market is growing rapidly (it’s predicted to be over $5 billion by 2025), so it is vital to assess the importance of these products as they pertain to the industry.
Currently, there are many mysteries and questions regarding CBD that may be preventing some distributors from selling these products, so it is important to debunk these myths. According to Michael Beach, founder of Highline Promo—a provider of an array of cannabis-themed promotional products—CBD stands for cannabidiol, an oil extracted from the hemp plant, and this is where the confusion sets in. “Hemp is a strain of cannabis that has been genetically modified to grow without producing THC, the main psychoactive compound that produces the ‘high’ sensation,” he explains. “The oil is extracted from the plant and used in many different types of products.” He adds that users report relief from many different ailments, such as arthritis, ADHD, depression, and anxiety. “The 2018 Farm Bill legalized CBD in all 50 states,” he affirms. “So, don’t worry, this is a legit (and legal) opportunity!”
