Together we aspire to become a market leader in delivering high-quality CBD health and beauty products to Canadians. CBD-infused products are a growing consumer trend gaining substantial media attention. CBD is one of the most common cannabinoids in cannabis or hemp that is known for a variety of medicinal qualities without the psychoactive high that can be associated with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). CBD-infused products are part of the large supplements market which reached US$41.4B in the United States in 2016. According to a 2017 report from the Brightfield Group, the hemp-derived CBD market will grow nearly 10-fold to US$1.6 billion between 2016 and 2021. Product innovation and strong distribution are core pillars for both GreenSpace and Emblem, making this a perfect partnership for applying GreenSpaces successful model to the cannabis space, said Matthew von Teichman, President and CEO, GreenSpace Brands. This partnership allows us to enter the Health and Beauty category through CBD focused products, which we strongly believe will be a massive category for a long time to come.
