CBD CIRCUIT
Stigma,
sceptics,
research
and
regulation
That’s what was on the menu at the first ever Future Cannabis
Strategies Europe Conference which took place in London.
Vapouround CBD editor Róisín Delaney was there.
This was a packed programme, with the two-day event bringing
industry leaders from all around the world under one roof at a
Chelsea hotel. Vapouround CBD launched at the event, literally
hot off the presses as our printing company hand delivered the
first bundle of issues to the hotel in time for those in attendance
to have a read.
Day one was Tuesday, January 29. I was intrigued to find out who was
going to attend, as well as the speakers of course. The industry is
still young – especially here in the UK – when compared with the
US and even some European nations. The clientele was a mix of
industries, with cosmetic brands, online shopping sites, brewers
and market researchers sending representatives.
The running order was stellar for the first time out of the blocks.
Market research prvided by both Global Data and CBD Intel
proved essential, with eager pens and pencils scribbling notes
throughout both Neil Hendry and Tim Phillips’ slots. What was
truly incredible was to see just how much research and data already
exists on CBD, given how young the industry is still.
From beverages to cosmetics to vaping and fashion, this two-
day intensive event showed there is no end to the potential of
CBD, and despite some obstacles in law and regulation, CBD is
weaving its way into every major industry worldwide.
