Do you have what it takes to be a hemporer?
No sector of the cannabis market is hotter right now than hemp – for good reason. Marijuana’s nonintoxicating cousin comes with a fraction of the taxes and red tape faced by marijuana entrepreneurs, and market opportunities abound. Hemp is in grocery stores. Gas stations. Spas. Gyms. Even your neighborhood pet groomer might be selling a hemp product.
But the hemp sector is changing more quickly than the marijuana sector. That rate of growth is an important part of why Marijuana Business Daily continues to add resources about the hemp and CBD markets with our sister publication, Hemp Industry Daily.
Hemp Industry Daily is focused on delivering what you need to know to thrive in the early – and still unpredictable – hemp markets and to take your ventures to the next level.
Anyone operating in hemp industries has a lot to look forward to in the near future, starting with the industry’s first Annual Hemp & CBD Factbook launching in October 2018, and plenty of opportunities to connect with business-minded professionals at all stages of the hemp business.
