Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.

Given the way people constantly praise CBD, we would almost think the public sees it as the biggest health discovery since Penicillin. The difference is that the latter’s curative properties have been well-established while CBD’s benefits remain largely unestablished – epilepsy treatment being the only exception.
