Cannabis is Exploding in CPG: Is Your Organization Ready?
Eleven U.S. states and the District of Columbia have now fully legalized cannabis, and most others have some form of legalization. Many CPG and retail companies recognize that consumer interest in cannabis and hemp products is growing, but they may not know what action to take, if any. Industries such as food and beverage, confectionery, alcohol, over-the-counter health care and beauty/skincare are being directly impacted by the proliferation of legal cannabis but even those who may not plan to launch cannabis-related products, or think it will impact their business, will want to be updated on the opportunities and potential risks involved.
