Industry estimates put the total sales of both recreational and medical marijuana products in the U.S. at approximately $10 billion in 2018 alone while CBD products generated gross sales of more than $238 million in the same year. Both industries are still growing, and CBD registered a 57 percent growth rate in 2018.

Why CBD May Remain Highly Priced for Longer

If you have decided to try using a CBD product, such as CBD tinctures or oils, you may have noticed that the items are a bit on the pricey end, and this is cause for concern since many people who would benefit from the therapeutic effects of this compound are on the lower side of the purchasing power continuum.
