Increasing Application of Marijuana-based CBD Products Fueling Expansion?

By 2028, marijuana based cannabidiol industry is expected to be worth US$ 31 Bn. CBD is derived as an oil or a powder from marijuana plants. These can be blended into lotions or gels, or put into capsules and ingested or applied to the skin.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is also used in the creation of medications to treat neurological illnesses like dementia, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy, and other conditions. Because of its psychotropic characteristics, THC is heavily restricted in the majority of countries; as a result, it is expected to grow slowly in comparison to hemp.

Side-effects associated with CBD Products to Impede Adoption?

Cannabidiol is well-known for its ability to cure a variety of illnesses, including anxiety, seizures, neurological problems, cancer-related nausea, chronic pain, and more. Despite being useful for a variety of medical illnesses, studies and research conducted by numerous organizations have shown that CBD-based medicines can nevertheless have minor negative effects.

Dry mouth, drowsiness, low blood pressure, and lightheadedness are just a few of the negative effects experienced by consumers. CBD is also known to raise the level of coumadin (a blood thinner) in the body, which can interact with other drugs and cause negative side effects. These factors might impede future adoption of CBD for therapeutic purposes.

Demand of CBD in Pharmaceutical Applications

In addition, cannabidiol reverses hemorrhoids, avoids menstrual cramps, and lowers psychotic events of schizophrenia.

Top CBD companies are promoting it as a ‘no-side effect’ ingredient in pharmaceutical drugs, which makes it a viable alternative to THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol).

While THC shows its effect in the central nervous system (CNS), cannabidiol does the same in the immune system.

Nevertheless, Cannabidiol and THC, after combining in equal ratios, complement each other’s positive impacts – the “entourage” effect, which can influence emerging trends in the cannabidiol market in the coming years.

Apart from pharmaceuticals, Cannabidiol is steadily finding its way in eateries and breweries as well as an ingredient in mocktails, sodas, and others, owing to its anti-anxiety impact.

However, government bodies across the world are imposing restrictions on the addition of cannabidiol in beverages and food items amid anecdotal clinical evidence, despite the industrial hemp having received a green signal, leaving consumers bewildered about the effects of Cannabidiol.

Furthermore, legal agencies are confiscating consumables offered by restaurant owners, and food manufacturers, which may impact the growth of the cannabidiol market in the coming years.
