Brand building in the cannabis industry

The North American cannabis market – while still in its early days – has changed a lot in the past few years. Canada legalised recreational use of the drug in 2018 and to date 16 US states have fully legalised marijuana use (36 allow it for medical purposes). The shifting legal and regulatory framework has had an impact on businesses’ trademark strategies in both countries, with brand owners having to act quickly and think ahead to ensure that their rights are protected.

Seeing green? Economic impact of cannabis may be slow, modest

Though the arrival of legalized marijuana has been met with excitement and anticipation, economics and commercial real estate experts are tamping down expectations.

For one thing, they caution, it’s unrealistic to think marijuana shops will pop up on every street corner. The market, while potentially significant, just isn’t that big — and it won’t be a snap of the fingers to open a pot shop.

Though New Mexico has more than 117,000 residents registered in the state’s medical cannabis program with 12,628 living in Santa Fe County, recreational marijuana may be only a modest player in the state’s overall economic portfolio.

The Dark Side of the Cannabis 'Gold Rush'

Medicine, cooking and smoking — whatever the use, cannabis has been a big part of the press lately.

Cannabis is the most consumed drug in the world. According to a report by the European Monitoring Center for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), published in June 2018, more than 24 million people use it in Europe. Three quarters of consumers are between 15 and 34 years old. And while cannabis has proven to be addictive and detrimental to health, it has become so popular around the world that in some countries it has been legalized as a "recreational drug."

3 Predictions for Cannabis and Hemp in 2021

1. Hemp will diversify 

The hemp business is set to continue tremendous growth throughout the year and beyond. While hemp-derived products like CBD gummies and oils are currently all the rage, there is likely to be new uses of the fibrous portion of the plant, such as biodegradable plastic alternatives, textiles, paper products, and more.

As we look to the future, the usages of hemp will continue to be far more mainstream and distributed than ever before, and we'll likely even see it expand into insulation and geotextiles in building materials.
