Cannabis sales spike after lockdown measures in legalised areas

  • As more people are confined to their homes, and can’t get out to unwind in other ways, they bought cannabis products at higher rates, and in bigger amounts than they have before

by Sanjana Varghese

Around the world, precautions against the spread of coronavirus have meant that people are confined to their homes for a while. Everyone has their own plans, which has included stockpiling loo roll, food and medicine. 

For people who realise that they may want to relax, those preparations include stockpiling cannabis too – in Canada, the Netherlands, and states in the US where cannabis is legal to buy, the coronavirus lockdown has caused a surge in demand for cannabis products, particularly online and at dispensaries. 

As more people are confined to their homes, and can’t get out to unwind in other ways, they bought cannabis products at higher rates, and in bigger amounts than they have before.

Now that lockdown measures have been in place for several weeks, cannabis companies and other retailers have been able to take stock of how their businesses have fared.

In the middle of March, several marijuana businesses throughout the US saw a spike in people buying all kinds of products. People also tended to be buying it in larger quantities than they would normally.

In California, sales had gone up 159 per cent compared to the sales in March of 2019. 

In general, the legal cannabis industry is a growing one, so there will be more people buying it “officially” than the year before. Even so, the kind of spike that cannabis business owners around the world saw in mid-March coincided exactly with announcements of cannabis lockdowns.  

But is this a good thing? Information from the World Health Organisation suggests that smoking cannabis can weaken the lungs, which isn’t a good thing when we have a global pandemic of a virus which attacks the respiratory system.

However, it seems people may have thought of this.

Data from Headset suggests that while sales of cannabis were up 10 per cent, edibles surged in demand too – by 28 per cent – and that people are shifting away from pre-rolled products when thinking about what they would want to stock up on for a few weeks. 

In Ontario, Canada there were almost 3,000 orders on the last Saturday before full lockdown at the Ontario Cannabis Store. That was an 80 per cent increase over a typical Saturday.  

Daffyd Roderick, the communications director at the OCS, said that they had seen a significant increase in demand for same-day and next day delivery options, in addition to a higher volume of purchases.

Other cannabis stores, in the province of Quebec, also said that they had seen a spike in sales of cannabis over the weekend. Additionally, many shops have started to operate a click and collect service – where people can come and pick up their orders themselves. These kinds of services could offer a chance for people to keep stocked up on the products they want, but they minimise social contact as much as possible. Measures like this are possible in Canada, where individual provinces maintain a monopoly on the sales of cannabis – so they can implement changes more quickly than elsewhere.

In the Netherlands, photos circulated on social media of people in towns and cities lining up to buy cannabis and weed from coffee shops before a government-imposed quarantine would put the country on lockdown. 

While cannabis is illegal in the Netherlands, it is decriminalised for personal use, and posts from social media users showed lines of more than 20 or 30 people waiting to stock up in various cities, from Amsterdam to Utrecht.

The day after the announcement was made, cafes and coffee shops were allowed to re-open as long as they were only offering takeaway services

The situation around cannabis in the US is different from places like Canada and the Netherlands because federal policy governs whether cannabis is legal, as well as whether there are other restrictions on what dispensaries can do with their stock. In eight states that have imposed stay-at-home orders, recreational cannabis can still be sold, and over 15 others have continued to allow the sale of medical cannabis only. 

In states like California and Washington, dispensaries have reported huge increases in demand for their products since mid March.

In Oakland, a dispensary’s whole supply was sold out by 2pm on the day that the lockdown measures were announced.

Delivery services in San Francisco said they had seen an increase in demand for cannabis delivery too, although they weren’t as severe as recent spikes. 

In Pennsylvania, Governor Tom Wolfe declared marijuana dispensaries an essential business, which brought in changes that had otherwise been passing slowly through legislation. Telemedicine – where people are prescribed medication over the phone – mean cannabis has become much more accessible, and for people who needed cannabis to treat illnesses or reduce their symptoms, getting the adequate documentation happened much more quickly too.

Some dispensaries have also transitioned to offering drive-through services too, to minimise contact. 

Other elements of the legal cannabis industry have changed in response to Covid-19. 

The government in Oregon increased the minimum amount of cannabis that you could buy in one go, to stop people from making more trips.

Websites like Leafly, which focus on the world of cannabis, have created guides on disinfecting cannabis product packaging and taking other safety precautions. For business owners, it’s an opportunity to strengthen online vendor systems and figure out whether a drive through system is possible. 

As lockdown measures are extended around the world, cannabis business owners are attempting to figure out what they should be doing next – in some cases, they ordered in extra stock and increased hours for workers. In others, they’ve been encouraging customers to place their orders online, rather than coming into town.

Currently, the length of the lockdown measures remains uncertain, so you might as well be well prepared, whether you’re buying or selling.

Where is the #CBD Market Headed? – SPONSOR: Hollister Biosciences $HOLL.ca $WEED.ca $CGC $ACB $APH $CRON.ca $OGI.ca $FAF.ca

Where is the CBD Market Headed?

  • After hemp was legalized for growth and cultivation with the passing of new legislation in 2018, the CBD market erupted with new products and companies looking to take advantage of the new space
  • As of 2019, CBD sales increased by around 133%, to the tune of over $1 billion. That’s right; one billion. The market has plenty of consumer demand to back it up, and Americans are loving their CBD

By: Guest Contributor

With the last few years’ success in the CBD industry, new investors, everyday people, and seasoned investors alike are working to get their hands into one of the fastest-growing markets in the US. The CBD space is full of new providers and products, and new ones are arising each year.

As the research receives more and more funding, we’re learning all kinds of new information about CBD and its effects on the body and mind; and not much of that information is negative.

With so much demand for CBD oil and other products, it’s no surprise that people are looking to get rich by investing in the industry. But there’s still the question of whether or not it’s a good idea to invest in CBD. Let’s take a closer look at the industry, so you can decide whether or not investing in it is the right move for you.

CBD’s Benefits and Popularity

For decades, the Cannabis plant, from which CBD is derived, was outlawed, shamed, and viewed as an addictive and dangerous drug. This is mostly because THC is also derived from Cannabis, which causes the “high” that comes with smoking marijuana or ingesting THC-infused oils and edibles.

CBD is an entirely different cannabinoid, and both CBD and THC are just two of many cannabinoids found in the Cannabis plant. Each cannabinoid interacts with the body’s cannabinoid receptors in a different way, but it would take another article entirely to explain them all.

The bottom line? CBD doesn’t get you high, and industrial hemp must contain less than 0.3% THC to even be legally grown or cultivated.

CBD has been found to offer many benefits to humans and pets alike; among these are:

  • Pain relief
  • Anti-inflammatory properties
  • Counteracts the effects of THC
  • Useful in addiction recovery
  • Managing anxiety disorders and stress
  • Calming effects on the brain
  • Increase focus and concentration

The benefits of CBD products far outweigh the minor side effects, and preliminary research has yielded promising results for the future of CBD. If you want to buy CBD to give it a try, you’ve chosen the right time to start! There are hundreds of varieties available, but not all CBD is created equal.
Quality Matters in CBD

If you’re thinking of investing in the CBD space, you’ll want to put your money towards a product that exceeds others in terms of quality. The higher the quality of the CBD extract, the more potent it is.

Lower-quality extracts aren’t as effective, and if the producer is using imported hemp, you run the risk of contaminating your CBD with pesticides and other chemicals from foreign countries. The US has some strict guidelines on growing hemp, and the top providers in the industry use only organically-grown domestic hemp to extract their CBD.

The Market So Far

After hemp was legalized for growth and cultivation with the passing of new legislation in 2018, the CBD market erupted with new products and companies looking to take advantage of the new space. As of 2019, CBD sales increased by around 133%, to the tune of over $1 billion. That’s right; one billion. The market has plenty of consumer demand to back it up, and Americans are loving their CBD.

Some estimates put the market at around $20 billion by 2022, but more conservative estimates put it somewhere around half that. It’s estimated that by 2024, the market will be worth $10 billion, and that’s not something investors can ignore.

The demand for CBD products only continues to increase as the years go by, so at this point, the only way to know for sure where CBD is headed is to wait and see.

That being said, the market shows potential for growth and continues to gain traction as more and more people try and love CBD products. This makes for an excellent investment opportunity if you know what you’re doing and where to put your money.

Among specialized dispensaries, even general retailers are starting to carry CBD. You may have noticed your local grocery stores, department stores, and even convenience stores carrying CBD oil and other CBD products.

This surge in CBD availability does present an issue, however; the producers are struggling to keep up.

The Quick-Buck Types

As with any industry, there are those looking to make a quick buck by ignoring quality standards and putting out a sub-par product just to get it on the shelves and into the hands of paying customers.

With little regulation on CBD products from government agencies, the standards in the industry are generally set by the top providers, and can’t exactly be enforced.

This leads to general flooding of the market with sub-par products, and many of those “off brands” end up on store shelves as retailers try to get their hand in the CBD market. Many CBD providers are working very hard to ensure their products meet certain standards, and those are the companies you’ll want to keep your eye on.

Where To Next?

The market seems to only be headed upward as time passes. With more money for research and much less stigma surrounding CBD and cannabis, there is the potential for massive growth as the public slowly shifts its opinion on the plant itself. With projections in the billions of dollars for the future, it’s safe to say that this market has a bright future ahead of it.

Not to mention, the better we understand CBD, the better it can be marketed. We’ve already found dozens of incredible benefits for the human body, and we’re sure to find more as our understanding of CBD evolves. We just have to be patient and wait for the research!

In the meantime, the market is flourishing and is expected to flourish well into the 2020 decade. If you’re looking to invest your money in a market that can offer significant ROI and stability, CBD might just be it. Always consult with an expert first, though. You wouldn’t want to put your money into the wrong startup!

With the current climate of social distancing and uncertainty, it’s no surprise that events have been forced to cancel or postpone left, right, and centre. Despite the disruption caused by the Coronavirus pandemic, some organisers are persevering with their plans – at least for the time being. One of those events is the Europe Canna Expo, set to take place in  London in July.

The Europe Canna Expo (ECE) is scheduled to make a return to London for a 2-day event on 26-27 July. Following the success of last year’s Europe CBD expo at the same location, the ECE will aim to bring together over 90 speakers and 125 exhibitors.

The Venue

The ECE is set to make a return to the London ExCel Centre in Canning Town East London. The event was held at the venue in July 2019, with an array of exhibitors and speakers. This year, the Europe Canna Expo is expected to be even bigger. However, uncertainty remains over the event.

The ExCel Centre is currently home to the temporary Nightingale hospital – the improvised care centre for victims of the Coronavirus. It remains unclear when the need for the venue will be over as the UK’s Coronavirus lockdown continues.

Exhibitors and Speakers

However, should the expo go on as planned, attendees will be spoilt for choice with speakers and professionals set to provide insights into the CBD, cannabinoid, and medical cannabis industries. In addition, the event will be present a huge number of exhibitors including a variety of manufacturers and businesses.

Speakers will include international experts showcasing senior-level insights and global scientific research in the CBD, cannabinoid and medical cannabis sectors. Organisers of the event expect that attendees will include consumers and businesses, as well as policymakers and press.

The event will provide an opportunity for global leading brands to showcase their products to thousands of attendees. From CBD drinks and chocolates to medicinal products, the Europe Canna Expo plans to present the most innovative international brands.

Event Schedule

The ECE organisers are yet to release a detailed schedule for the two-day cannabis expo. This may be due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the Coronavirus lockdown. For more information and up-to-date announcements, visit the ECE London website.

With 165,000 patients, Empower Clinics (CBDT:CSE) (EPWCF:OTCQB) has a database that almost every medical cannabis and CBD company would kill for.  Patient visits increased 800% in February. 590% in March and 480% for Q1.  But will Coronavirus social gathering imitations put the clinic network at risk?

Moreover, the Company has also  entered expanded into telemedicine across multiple states for patients who can’t get to a clinic but need a consultation with doctors over the phone to determine the best CBD medications for home delivery.

Watch this interview with the Company’s CEO, Steven McAuley, who is Six Sigma certified under the quality initiative of legendary GE chairman Jack Welch.
