Blazing Trails: Emerging Trends in Cannabis That Will Shape the Future of the Industry
Introduction
The cannabis industry is changing rapidly. It's not just the growth in states that have legalized adult-use cannabis, but also advancements in research and development that will change the face of this market. We're seeing new trends emerge every day as entrepreneurs try to stake their claim in an industry with endless possibilities for innovation. In this article, we'll explore some of these emerging trends that will shape the future of cannabis:
Innovation and Artistry in Cannabis Packaging
Packaging is an essential part of the cannabis industry, as it provides information about products and helps to sell them. However, packaging has come a long way from simple brown paper bags.
Cannabis packaging needs to be child-resistant so that children can't get into it and accidentally ingest it; sustainable so that it doesn't harm the environment; attractive so that customers will want to buy your product over another brand's; and informative so consumers know what they're buying when they pick up your product off the shelf in a dispensary or retail store.
Branding and Marketing in an Industry That's Just Beginning to Develop its Own Culture
Cannabis is a new industry that is still developing its own culture. As the industry evolves, it's important to understand how branding and marketing in this space differ from other consumer products.
Cannabis has a unique culture, which means that brands need to think differently about their messaging than they would with other products. For example, if you're selling soda or beer, you'd probably want your brand name on the label--and maybe even an image of your logo alongside it (think Coca-Cola). But when selling cannabis products like edibles or tinctures, having your name on them could be problematic if the consumer doesn't know what they're getting themselves into before purchasing them!
The Future of Edibles is Bright
Cannabis edibles are a great way to consume cannabis, especially if you're looking for an alternative to smoking and vaping. Edibles offer a variety of benefits over other methods of ingestion, including:
A longer-lasting high that can last anywhere from 4 to 12 hours depending on your tolerance and the dosage consumed
The ability to get high without having any psychoactive effects until 30 minutes after consumption (or even longer)
A delayed onset time, which makes it easier for new users who are not used to consuming cannabis products
Cannabinoid Research and Development Will Save Lives -- And Make a Lot of Money for Investors and Entrepreneurs
Cannabinoid research and development is a new field that has been gaining traction in recent years. As more states legalize cannabis, the potential for cannabinoid-based medical treatments is increasing. In fact, there are dozens of pharmaceutical companies currently working on developing new drugs using cannabinoids and they're hiring scientists at a rapid pace.
Cannabinoids have shown promise in helping people with epilepsy and multiple sclerosis, but they also have potential uses in treating anxiety disorders like PTSD, depression and bipolar disorder -- even cancer! This could revolutionize how we treat some of society's most common diseases while also saving lives.
