New York - We didn't find Mary Jane, but we did find CBD.
Leaders of the legalized marijuana and hemp industries flocked to New York City's Jacob Javitz Center this week for the Cannabis World Congress & Business Expo, and the mood there was clearly upbeat.
The prevailing thought: Countrywide legalization is coming. The only question is how fast. Leaders believe the U.S. market will be a $35 billion behemoth by 2020, stretching from high-end lifestyle products and pharmaceuticals to just about everything else.
This is "the definitive business event for the cannabis industry" and it's no joke.
It's not the makeshift head shop-y event that outsiders might assume it to be. Men and women walked around in suits and ties, discussing cannabis in medicine, proper packaging, preventative care, stress relief and more.
These people want to take hemp where it's never gone before, into all sorts of edible and wearable products, even BMW cars with hemp components.
For those questioning the legality, many products involved the usage of marijuana, but no marijuana was for sale. Instead, the product of choice was cannabidiol, better known as CBD (Which is legal). CBD is the second leading active ingredient in marijuana. The legal variety is extracted from hemp and doesn't cause a high like the THC in the stuff you smoke.
In preclinical studies, CBD has been proven to help in the treatment of various conditions like chronic pain, anxiety, nausea, rheumatoid arthritis, schizophrenia, diabetes, PTSD, alcoholism, strokes and cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
While many states creep slowly toward legalization, CBD is a saving grace to some people, especially children with epilepsy, who rely on it to better their quality of life, as depicted in the New York Times.
Here are some of our favorite CBD and weed-related products we spotted at the expo:
1. Gummy blocks.
2. CBD sugar.
3. CBD oil, straight up.
4. Hemp dog treats.
5. Marijuana-themed greeting cards.
6. CBD-infused aromatherapy sprays.
7. Mini CBD-infused gummy bears.
8. Sweet marijuana syrups.
9. "Goody bags" including CBD-infused cream, gummy bears, lip balm, and vitamin "hangover shots."
10. Hemp & sunflower seed oil.
11. CBD coconut energy shots.
