In this article, I'll extensively analyze all you need to know about these new cannabis markets, and how to tap into this upward trajectory. Don't miss out on the opportunities the cannabis industry offers, it could be just what you need to turn things around.

which was first reported by Forbes. Ignite had a $22 million allocation for marketing, which was already twice as much as its yearly sales revenue. Guess where it all went? Throwing luxurious branded parties with tons of booze and sexy women. It also seems that the Ignite funds went to paying for Bilzerian’s publicly lavish lifestyle, including his private jets, booze, women, and parties to name a few.

Transdermal patches usually contain preloaded and measured doses of CBD. This allows the dose to be easily controlled by the user compared to smoking, vaping, or edibles. The user controls quantity by removing the patch to stop release and adding a new one for higher doses.

Why is this an important distinction to make? Simply put, if we can say that legalizing cannabis is ending the war on drugs, then we’re simply lying to ourselves. Cocaine would still be illegal, so would heroin, LSD, Mescaline, you name it – whatever pharma isn’t peddling would be illegal. This would still create a large black market that would still require law enforcement to “combat it” in….wait for it…you guessed it….THE WAR ON DRUGS!

The application of this technology into the cannabis industry has the potential of being the next big thing. With the prominence of edibles and the lack of much technological advancement for smoking after vapes, this new technology is good news for the industry. it has the potential of reducing the health risk cannabis smokers face while also improving the level of euphoria experienced.

The relationship between CBD and scalp inflammation was studied by a group of researchers from Italy and the United States. The basis of their research was to check the effect of cannabis-based shampoos in dealing with scalp inflammation. 50 subjects with scalp inflammation from psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis were given shampoos with 0.075% broad-spectrum CBD. The results from the research showed that the shampoo effectively reduced the degree of symptoms experienced by the subjects. Other works of research conducted on the subject also came to the conclusion that CBD is effective in dealing with the symptoms of scalp inflammation.

The report states that medical cannabis makes up the biggest part of the market segment, taking up most of the revenue shares based on 2019 figures at 71%. This is attributed to the increasing adoption of cannabis as a legitimate alternative to pharmaceuticals, especially for treating life-threatening conditions including cancer, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, arthritis, and neurological disorders among others. There is also a rising demand for effective painkillers as well as chronic pain medications for the elderly, and this is where much product demand is expected to be seen.

The most important thing COVID-19 did for marijuana legalization was replace the current conservative, Republican president with a Democrat.  Not that Joe Biden is weed’s best friend, but if Trump won re-election there would be close to 0% chance of Federal marijuana policy change until 2024 at the earliest. This is the same president Trump who picked anti-pot Attorney General Jeff Sessions and thinks marijuana makes people dumb.  There is a strong case to be made that if COVID-19 doesn’t hit, Trump is an easy re-election winner in 2020.  The stock market was soaring to 30,000 or move under his watch and unemployment was hovering under 2% in America.  Love him or hate him, people vote with their pocketbook and ask themselves, “Am I better off or worse off than I was 4 years ago?”.  People love to see their IRA and pension fund balances going up, and with the Dow at 30,000 and unemployment at under 2%, does the idea of a “tax and spend Democrat” sound like a good choice?  If COVID-19 doesn’t hit, the odds at Trump getting re-elected are pretty good, and that would not have been good for cannabis.

Cannabinoids present in cannabis can play a huge role in controlling psoriasis. The endocannabinoid system plays a huge role in the life span of skin cells and their duration of maturation. The cannabinoids embedded in cannabis also work through this system which gives them the ability to affect the condition. CBD and THC are anti-psoriatic agents that help to reduce inflammation and immature expression of skin cells. This coupled with the immunosuppressive effects of cannabis makes it a very reasonable alternative for dealing with psoriasis. However, the elephant in the room is whether cannabis is a better means in comparison with the common anti-psoriatic agents.
