Research Shows That Sales of CBD Products are Growing Rapidly

NEW YORK, November 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The CBD market is a large part of the legal cannabis market. CBD products do not have any psychotropic effects, and are usually used for medical purposes. Forbes reported that according to Matt Karnes of Greenwave Advisors, the market is estimate to reach an almost $3 billion market by 2021. Currently, 15 states that allow CBD only - this is in addition to the 28 states plus DC that have legalized medical marijuana. The report indicates that the CBD market has already been targeted by industry insiders. According to Headset Research data, in Washington state alone there are over 800 CBD products in the marketplace. Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. (OTC: CIIX), 22nd Century Group, Inc. (NYSE: XXII), Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC: MJNA), CV Sciences, Inc. (OTC: CVSI), Terra Tech Corp. (OTC: TRTC).

"One of the most surprising things we found during this research was how many companies are currently operating in the space, and how few of them are generating significant revenue," said Bethany Gomez, the Director of Research at Brightfield Group, according to an article by Forbes. "Essentially everyone is trying to do hemp, but only a handful are doing it well. It's seen as easy because it can be sold online but, with restrictions on traditional marketing, it is very difficult to connect with your core consumer and even communicate why they need your product."

Chineseinvestors.com, Inc. (OTCQB: CIIX) on October 2nd announced that it has appointed Skin Care Industry veteran and Shanghai beauty influencer, Fannie (Chun Fang) Tang as Marketing Director of its wholly-owned foreign enterprise, CBD Biotechnology Co., Ltd. effective immediately. Ms. Tang will report directly to CBD Biotechnology's CEO, Summer Yun, and will be responsible for developing and implementing branding strategies for CBD Biotechnology's CBD Magic Hemp Series skin care line in China. "With over twenty years of marketing and branding experience in the skin care and cosmetics industry, I believe CBD Biotechnology is extremely fortunate to be working with Ms. Tang," says Yun. "Ms. Tang's concept of 'Beauty Derives from Nature and Creation' aligns with CBD Biotechnology's vision to develop an innovative, natural skin care band. Moreover, Ms. Tang has proven success in the industry in this region. Through her efforts, we are confident that CBD Biotechnology will position itself to become a leader in China's skin care industry."

In September 2017, CBD Biotechnology completed the filing process with the China Food & Drug Administration for its first three products in the CBD Magic Hemp Series line, namely the CBDBIO TECH Brightening and Refreshing Moisturizer, the CBDBIO TECH Perfecting Shield Primer, and the CBDBIO TECH Peptide Collagen Solution, which are expected to be formally launched this month. The CBD Magic Hemp Series skin care line will be marketed through multiple sales channels, including online sales, app sales, and third party distribution relationships with online celebrities and market influencers.

"China can be a complex business culture to navigate," says ChineseInvestors.com, Inc.'s CEO Warren Wang. "As such, a company's management and leadership team is critical to its success. Ms. Tang is a proven marketing leader and beauty influencer in China. With Ms. Tang's expertise and a breakthrough hemp-infused skin care line, I believe we have the key elements for success in this market."

"In 2018, we will add our proprietary zero-THC hemp plants to our hemp program with UVA and we will expand our hemp activities in New York and other areas across the United States; these projects will continue to spotlight 22nd Century as a leader in the rapidly emerging industrial hemp and medical marijuana markets."
