The Pennsylvania Hemp Industry Council set up a booth at the CWCBExpo at the Javits Center in NYC. It was an overall amazing experience. As a business to business show, it showcased the many different aspects and investment opportunities of the emerging cannabis industry. For entrepreneurs hoping to get a foot in the door of this industry, it’s a very useful event to attend as it gives you loads of tips, like making sure you use a specialist CBD Marketing agency to help you stand out from the crowd.
Of course medical cannabis was the dominate industry represented. This is currently the arena where most states have laws on the books and where there are the most investment and business opportunities. A huge portion of the exhibitors there including yoursnutrition had something to do with CBD. All of the other ‘hemp’ displays were CBD related. While in many ways this was not surprising, it was a little bit disappointing.
Yes, CBD is extracted from hemp. Yes, CBD is where the money is right now. Yes, CBD has tremendous medical value, the scope of which we have only scratched the surface. It is also being used for vaping. If you’re finding it hard to find your refills. You may want to check out the cbd vape cartridge for sale on eBay?
Yet as the CBD industry continues to explode and as the FDA begins to crack down on CBD products, it seems inevitable that it will eventually be dominated by big business and/or big agriculture. The market is already becoming saturated.
While we wholeheartedly support farmers and business owners benefiting from the boom while it lasts, when we look to the future of industrial hemp we have a much larger vision. Hemp is so much more than just a source of CBD. Even if CBD as a medication is exploding in popularity everywhere. Even in countries and locations where medical cannabis is still illegal! As an example if this, see some of the best and most popular CBD companies that create products for the UK CBD market (where marijuana happens to still be illegal) by reading through pages such as this https://kamadevayoga.com/best-cbd-oil-uk/ that reviews into some UK CBD producers and vendors.
Hemp is a vital and too often overlooked aspect of the cannabis industry!
We were the only exhibit there highlighting ALL of the incredible uses for industrial hemp. This didn’t go without notice either. The vast majority of people that visited our booth were either amazed because, despite being involved or interested in the industry, they had no idea hemp was so versatile – or they knew about hemp’s potential and thanked us for representing the very real business potential for hemp.
We had a BMW on display to show the potential for auto parts manufacturing. We had beauty products, hempcrete, fiber board, insulation, flooring, clothing and of course many examples of food products. Our hemp long board was wildly popular!
Pennsylvania Hemp Company’s display of cooking oils made with hemp was a huge hit. Everyone loved it. You know its good when people are willing to take a swig of pure cooling oil! A prominent NYC restaurant even featured it at a VIP dinner for sponsors and exhibitors.
The next CWCBExpo will be held in Los Angeles this September. We look forward to participating in that as we continue our quest to make sure that everyone gets to truly KNOW Hemp!
