Michael Christopher, CEO of Mood33, a California-based cannabis-infused beverage brand, believes CBD will dress For a while, but perhaps not in its current form.

"We see some proliferation of CBD-infused products that begin to overwhelm consumers," Christopher HuffPost said. "From $ 9 CBD Infus ed donuts to the $ 14 CBD-infused brownie mix, we are uncertain about the viability of these new product formats that seem to "just throw some CBD in" and mark the price point. "

But many industry insiders like Bryson Bulda, brand manager of LBS Distribution, a cannabis company in California, believe that dispensers are crucial to building burgeoning bid businesses.
