Cannabis 2.0: Canada Set to Legalize CBD Topicals and Beverages
PALM BEACH, Florida, Oct. 15, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Over the next three days, Canada will legalize CBD all over again. Just a year after legalizing dried cannabis flower, oils, and sprays, Canada will now legalize edibles, beverages, and topicals this Thursday, October 17, potentially creating sizable opportunity for growth. Interesting to note, according to analysts at Deloitte, up to 60% of Canadians would use cannabis edible products. That’s opening a wide range of opportunity for companies including The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTCQB:BOSQF), Aphria Inc. (NYSE:APHA) (TSX:APHA), Charlotte’s Web Holdings Inc. (CSE:CWEB) (OTCQX:CWBHF), OrganiGram Holdings Inc. (TSX-V:OGI) (NASDAQ:OGI), and GW Pharmaceuticals PLC (NASDAQ:GWPH).
