CBD Retail Sales Growth Set to Explode

April 24, 2019 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- Microcap Speculators -- It’s showing up in everything from skin creams to bath balms to dog treats – an elixir that can supposedly reduce anxiety and help you sleep.

The ingredient? CBD, or cannabidiol, a compound derived from hemp and marijuana that doesn’t cause a high.

Mainstream retailers are taking advantage of a sudden boom in the industry even as CBD’s health benefits remain murky amid a patchwork of state and local laws. And the flood of products is only testing how federal regulators can police it.

Retail sales of CBD consumer products in 2018 were estimated to reach as much as $2 billion, according to Cowen & Co. By 2025, that figure could hit $16 billion in retail sales, the investment firm predicts.

One cannabis stock worth researching is Life on Earth, Inc. (USOTC: LFER). This company could take a big piece of that $16 billion. LFER, a beverage company rolling up successful brands in taste-making hotbeds NYC and Southern California, announced its flagship Just Chill brand would be entering the cannabis-infused beverage space.

In a move that could help elevate the brand in the hearts and minds of consumers, LFER just announced that it has signed Two Times X Games Gold Medalist, Winner of The Maloof Money Cup, top contender in multiple Dew Tours, and multiple World Cups of skateboarding Greg Lutzka, as a brand partner for its Just Chill brand. He is the only skateboarder, to date, to have won the highest respected contest in the industry three times at the Tampa Pro. Start your research on LFER today.
