A Decade of Hemp Innovation: Inspirational Technologies’ Journey and Next Chapter
This is my past, present, and future vision by Steven M. Smith, Founder & CEO of Inspirational Technologies – September 2025 – Over a decade ago, Inspirational Technologies set out to combine natural wellness with advanced science, and now we’re taking a bold leap forward. Founded in 2013 by Steven Smith, our journey began as a small Florida startup with a mission to connect traditional botanical remedies with modern technology. From those modest beginnings, we’ve evolved into a leader in hemp-based innovation, driven by resilience, discovery, and a strong sense of purpose. Today, we’re thrilled to unveil a new chapter for Inspirational Technologies—building on our foundation and embracing the future of hemp and cannabinoids to bring relief to even more people.
2013–2015: Laying the Groundwork
Logo by Steven M Smith Created 3/1/2014
In the early years (2013–2015), we laid critical groundwork. Steven Smith’s background in plant sciences and passion for holistic health drove the initial focus on researching plant-based compounds, particularly those in hemp and other medicinal herbs. We were essentially a research lab with a big dream: to validate traditional botanical remedies using rigorous modern science. During this time, we established an education hub on our website (InspirationalTech.org) to share research updates and demystify hemp for the public. This proved vital in combating public misconceptions, as many people at the time still conflated hemp with psychoactive cannabis. Indeed, throughout the 20th century, stigma and prohibition had severely complicated cannabis research, and in the early 2010s hemp was legally categorized alongside narcotics despite its lack of THC. Navigating this environment was challenging – regulations were murky, funding was limited, and we often had to explain that hemp isn’t about “getting high,” but about healing. [Frontiers…: from …][What Does…usinesses?]
Industial Hemp Field
Challenges: Regulatory uncertainty was the toughest hurdle in our infancy. Government rules around cannabis research were ambiguous or restrictive, making it difficult to source materials and secure funding. Public perception was another obstacle; early on, some investors and consumers were wary, not yet educated on the difference between non-intoxicating hemp compounds and marijuana. We tackled these challenges through education and transparency. By openly sharing scientific findings and safety data on our website and in community seminars, we started changing minds.
In 2014, our persistence paid off: we secured our first private investment, providing much-needed R&D capital, and validated our vision to those who believed in the potential of cannabinoids. That same year we launched our website as a content hub, positioning Inspirational Technologies as a trustworthy voice explaining the science of CBD and hemp. This focus on education built credibility and began eroding the stigma.
Successes: Despite the headwinds, by 2015 we had established a solid foundation. We had a small lab, a growing network of academic collaborators, and early data hinting at hemp’s therapeutic promise. For example, our team initiated studies on hemp-derived compounds and their effects on conditions like inflammation and anxiety, drawing on expertise from university partners. These academic collaborations not only guided our research but also validated our early findings in peer-reviewed settings, showing that our work was on the right track. We closed 2015 with optimism – and a budding reputation as pioneers willing to push botanical science into new territory.
2016–2018: Expanding into Hemp and Cannabinoids
By the mid-2010s, cannabidiol (CBD) was gaining mainstream attention as a potential wellness game-changer. Research interest in CBD was exploding worldwide, and public awareness of hemp’s benefits was on the rise. Inspirational Technologies embraced this momentum and shifted focus squarely onto hemp-derived cannabinoids. This period marked our evolution from a general plant research startup into a dedicated hemp innovation company.
Research Milestones: Between 2016 and 2018, we embarked on ambitious studies of CBD’s potential health benefits. Our research teams (now working with medical scientists) explored how CBD could help reduce anxiety, alleviate inflammation, and even act as a neuroprotective agent for the brain. Early results were promising: for instance, preliminary experiments suggested CBD had notable anti-inflammatory effects (supporting what many others were finding), and could modulate stress responses in animal models. We weren’t alone in these discoveries – around this time scientific literature was burgeoning with cannabinoid research. Academic partners working with us published validating findings, adding credibility. The scientific community was confirming what we believed: CBD and related cannabinoids held real therapeutic promise. Notably, evidence began emerging that CBD might provide relief in anxiety without the downsides of THC. (In fact, a few years later a clinical trial would show CBD can quell anxiety symptoms effectively without impairment.) The more data we gathered, the more confident we became that our path was the right one. [CBD shown…e with THC], [CBD shown…e with THC]
Product Development: Research findings quickly fed into product ideas. By 2017, we had developed our first prototypes of CBD-infused wellness products, including a topical cream for pain relief and a tincture (oral drops) for stress and general wellness. Formulating these was an exciting step from lab bench to real-world application. We sourced high-quality hemp extracts and combined them with synergistic herbs, leveraging our roots in botanical science to create unique blends. Each prototype was tested for safety and efficacy in small trials. The feedback from early testers was encouraging – users reported less joint pain after applying the cream, and better sleep with the tincture. This R&D phase taught us about effective dosing, bioavailability (for example, how well the body absorbs CBD in different forms), and user preferences. It set the stage for the full product line we’d launch once the regulatory coast was clear.
Obstacles: If you rewind to 2017, selling a hemp-based product was not straightforward. Federal law still treated hemp extracts in a gray zone, which made distribution and marketing a tricky affair. We could develop products and even give out samples, but large-scale sales were hampered by legal ambiguity. Shipping CBD across state lines lived in a legal limbo – technically hemp was still a Schedule I substance federally, even though it has no high-inducing THC. This meant we had to proceed carefully and focus on states with clear hemp programs. We also had to be very cautious about marketing language, avoiding any medical claims that could draw ire from regulators (the FDA had started warning companies about unproven claims). Yet, we persisted, keeping our operations lean and compliant. We engaged with industry groups advocating for hemp law reform, and continuously educated lawmakers and the public on CBD’s safety. All of this groundwork positioned Inspirational Technologies to spring ahead when the law finally caught up with science. [What Does…usinesses?], [What Does…usinesses?]
A Turning Point – Legalization: Late 2018 brought the breakthrough we and the entire industry had been waiting for. The U.S. Congress passed, and the President signed, the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 the “Farm Bill” (see our story)
December 2018 – The Farm Bill Legalized Hemp
2019–2022: Growth through innovation and Partnerships
With legal clarity achieved, Inspirational Technologies moved full speed from R&D into the marketplace. The period from 2019 to 2022 was one of rapid growth, new partnerships, and establishing our leadership in the hemp wellness space. We transitioned from a small startup into a recognized brand with a national reach.
Commercial Launch: In early 2019, we officially launched our first line of CBD-based wellness products to the public. The line included the refined versions of our topical CBD cream and sublingual tincture, now branded under the Inspirational Technologies banner, as well as capsules and an all-natural CBD balm. We leveraged e-commerce and select health store partnerships for distribution. The timing was perfect: consumer interest in CBD had exploded, and people were eager to try these newly legal remedies. In fact, by 2020 nearly one-third of U.S. adults had used a CBD product, a huge leap in adoption from just 14% in 2019. We were ready to meet the demand with products formulated on a foundation of science and quality. Each batch was lab-tested for purity and potency, and we published the results online to continue building trust through transparency.

Partnership with hempSMART:
A key milestone in this phase was our strategic partnership with hempSMART in 2019.
HempSMART – a California-based company known for its science-driven CBD formulations – shared a similar ethos with us. By partnering, we aimed to combine our strengths: Inspirational Technologies’ research and product innovation, with hempSMART’s established marketing channels and customer base. Together, we celebrated on product development and education. For example, we co-hosted webinars featuring experts like Paula Vetter (hempSMART’s medical advisor) to inform consumers about CBD’s benefits. This partnership expanded our reach across the U.S. and even into international markets where hempSMART had a presence. It was a win-win: hempSMART gained new formulations and R&D support, while we gained a ready distribution network and a boost in brand visibility. Collaboration has always been in our DNA, and this was a powerful example of how working with like-minded innovators could amplify our impact.
Scaling Up: Internally, these years saw our team grow and our capabilities scale. We onboarded new talent – from formulation chemists to regulatory consultants – to handle everything from product manufacturing to compliance in a fast-evolving regulatory environment. In 2020, hempSMART opened a larger production facility in Florida, enabling us to increase output to meet surging demand.
Our efforts at maintaining high standards earned recognition: by 2021, Inspirational Technologies was being recognized as a leader in hemp-based innovation, with industry magazines featuring our story and calling out our commitment to quality. We also invested in intellectual property, filing patents related to advanced cannabinoid extraction techniques and delivery methods (like a water-soluble CBD nanoemulsion to improve absorption).
This era wasn’t without its challenges, of course. The regulatory landscape, while improved, remained complex – the FDA still hadn’t fully figured out how to categorize CBD products, and we had to stay on top of patchwork state regulations. Public perception, however, continued trending in our favor. By 2022, 60% of Americans had tried CBD and believed in its benefits, reflecting a massive shift in acceptance. What was once fringe had become mainstream, found in everything from gummies and lattes to pain salves. We made sure Inspirational Technologies stood out in this crowded market by doubling down on science and trust – emphasizing evidence-backed uses, avoiding hype, and advocating for sensible regulations to protect consumers. Our reputation for integrity became one of our strongest selling points. [CBD Statis…bes Health]
Highlights 2019–2022: We achieved several key milestones in this growth phase: new product launches (including a popular CBD + herbal adaptogen capsule in 2021), revenue growth that outpaced our projections, and an expanding loyal customer community. We also saw the broader hemp industry flourish, validating our faith in this plant. (U.S. CBD product sales skyrocketed from about $108 million in 2014 to nearly $1.9 billion by 2022, illustrating the boom we were part of.) Inspirational Technologies had firmly established itself — not just as a company selling wellness products, but as an innovator helping to shape an entire industry. [CBD Statis…bes Health]
2023 and Beyond: Embracing a New Frontier
The stage is set for an exciting new chapter. As the metrics above show, the environment in 2023–2025 is remarkably different from a decade ago. Consumer acceptance of hemp remedies is at an all-time high, and the market has grown exponentially. With widespread legality and a mountain of supporting research, cannabinoids are poised to transform mainstream healthcare and wellness. In this context, Inspirational Technologies is embracing a new frontier. Our new direction will leverage everything we’ve learned over the past 12 years and push further to realize the full potential of hemp-based science. Here’s what to expect as we move forward:
1. Pioneering Advanced Therapeutics: The heart of our new direction is a commitment to deeper scientific exploration of cannabinoids and their medical potential. CBD opened the door, and now we’re walking through it with a toolkit of cutting-edge science. We are expanding our R&D to study lesser-known cannabinoids like CBG (cannabigerol) and CBN (cannabinol), which are also derived from hemp but have unique properties. For instance, recent research from Yale University highlighted CBG’s strong potential for pain relief without opioid risks, and ongoing studies suggest CBN may aid sleep. We believe these compounds, especially in synergy (the “entourage effect”), could address health issues that CBD alone hasn’t fully solved. To that end, Inspirational Technologies is initiating clinical collaborations to formally test cannabinoid-based therapies for specific conditions. We’re in discussions with medical centers to launch trials on a CBD-CBG blend for chronic neuropathic pain and on a cannabinoid regimen for anxiety and PTSD. The goal is to move beyond wellness products into the realm of evidence-backed therapeutics – bridging the gap between supplement and medicine. It’s an ambitious step, but it’s aligned with our founding mission of merging nature with advanced science. The scientific promise is truly compelling: studies show cannabinoids might offer safer alternatives to opioids for pain, relieve anxiety without harsh side effects, and even help in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. In 2018, the U.S. FDA approved its first CBD-based prescription drug for severe childhood epilepsy, validating that cannabinoids can meet the highest standards of medicine. We foresee a future where cannabinoid therapies are a trusted part of mainstream healthcare, and we want to be at the forefront of that movement. Our new direction prioritizes rigorous research, so doctors and patients can have confidence in the hemp-derived treatments we develop. [Cannabinoi…ain relief], [Cannabinoi…ain relief][Cannabinoi…ain relief][CBD shown…e with THC], [CBD shown…e with THC][Frontiers…: from …][What Does…usinesses?]
2. Emerging Applications in Disease Relief: We are also broadening the applications of our products to target more specific needs. Over the years, customers have shared incredible stories of finding relief with our creams and tinctures – from an athlete’s persistent knee pain easing to an anxious traveler finally enjoying a calm flight. These experiences inspire us to tailor solutions for some of the most prevalent and pressing health challenges. Chronic pain, for example, affects millions and often leads to dependence on painkillers. With cannabinoids showing effectiveness in reducing inflammation and pain signaling, we are formulating targeted pain-relief applications, such as an advanced arthritis cream and oral supplements for inflammatory conditions. Mental health is another focus: anxiety and sleep issues are on the rise, and many are seeking natural relief. We’re exploring blends of CBD with terpenes and botanicals known for calming effects, to support those struggling with stress or insomnia. Early next year, we plan to release a CBD+CBN nightly tincture aimed at improving sleep quality naturally. On the more advanced end, we’re keeping an eye on research that suggests cannabinoids could play a role in serious conditions like cancer. A recent comprehensive study even found evidence that cannabis compounds might help fight certain cancer cells and improve patients’ quality of life. While we remain grounded in science (and such uses will require extensive validation), it underscores a key point: the therapeutic horizon of hemp is still expanding. Our new product roadmap is designed to adapt as new discoveries emerge. If a study finds that a CBD-THC combination (with minimal THC) works best for a given condition, we have the agility and knowledge to formulate accordingly – always within legal bounds. In short, we’re widening our scope from general wellness to targeted solutions for disease relief, driven by what science and our users tell us. [Cannabinoi…ain relief][New Study…naging …], [New Study…naging …]
3. Market Expansion and Leadership: As we venture into these new arenas, Inspirational Technologies is committed to growing sustainably and responsibly. The hemp and CBD industry is maturing – consolidation is happening, regulations are catching up, and consumers are becoming more discerning. We see this as a positive evolution and aim to be a leader in the next phase of the market’s development. Part of our new direction involves stepping up our role in industry advocacy. We are actively engaging with policymakers and regulatory bodies to help shape commonsense regulations for hemp products. Our stance is that quality and safety standards are needed to weed out bad actors selling mislabeled or impure products. We’re advocating for measures like third-party lab testing requirements, proper labeling, and research-based dosage guidelines. We’re also preparing for the potential regulatory changes ahead. The FDA in the U.S. has hinted at developing a new framework for CBD in dietary supplements or foods, and bipartisan bills in Congress aim to clarify CBD’s legal status further. We welcome clearer regulations, and our team is proactively ensuring that whenever new rules come, we will not just comply but excel under them.
On the market front, we are exploring geographic expansion. Hemp’s acceptance is global now – countries across Europe, Latin America, and Asia-Pacific are embracing hemp CBD as laws evolve. Through the next couple of years, we plan to enter select international markets. We’re already laying groundwork in Canada and the EU, navigating their approval processes to offer our products abroad. Additionally, we’ll continue forging strategic partnerships. Just as our alliance with hempSMART accelerated U.S. growth, we’re eyeing partnerships in new regions (for example, a potential joint venture in Europe with a local wellness company) to bring our expertise to new audiences. At home, as the competitive landscape grows, we differentiate by staying true to science and innovation.
Product innovation remains key: our R&D pipeline includes not only new formulations but also new delivery technologies (imagine a transdermal patch for steady cannabinoid release, or a smart dispenser that gives personalized doses based on an app). Advanced technology – from bioinformatics to AI-driven data analysis – will increasingly inform how we design and validate our products, fulfilling the “advanced science” part of our mission with even greater precision.
Finally, as we look beyond 2025, Inspirational Technologies’ core values stay constant. The resilience, curiosity, and purpose that got us through the past decade will guide us in the next. We envision a future where a person with chronic pain might use a cannabinoid therapy we helped develop instead of habit-forming opioids; where someone with anxiety can find calm through a natural remedy backed by clinical evidence; and where hemp-based innovations contribute to a healthier, more sustainable world. The journey from a startup in 2013 to here has taught us that nature’s solutions and human ingenuity are an unstoppable combination. Our new direction doubles down on that truth.

Reporting on today’s botanical and skincare product benefits.
The global cannabidiol, or CBD, market is exploding, with analysts projecting it will hit 22.05 billion by the year 2030. That’s nearly 20% of the size of the global soft drinks market even though CBD was only legalized in the U.S. in 2018 while the soda market has existed here for nearly 200 years.
In a few short years, CBD products have sprouted up everywhere and are available for purchase in the form of oils absorbed on one’s tongue, edibles such as gummies, candies, foods, pills or beverages, topical applications of ointments, creams or lotions absorbed on one’s skin, and inhalation by vaping or smoking.
What is CBD?
CBD is a chemical compound largely derived from hemp in the cannabis (marijuana) sativa plant. The plant has over 85 chemicals that are identified as cannabinoids, but cannabidiol is the most frequently used one for medical purposes due to its lack of psychoactive effect.
There are three main types of CBD:
full-spectrum CBD, which contains all beneficial compounds naturally found in the cannabis plant;
broad-spectrum CBD, which contains only some such compounds;
and CBD Isolate or “pure CBD,” which doesn’t contain any delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, nor any other compound from the hemp plant.
Legally, no CBD products can contain more than 0.3% (by dry weight) of THC, the mind-altering substance in marijuana known for its psychoactive effects.
Because of this, “CBD is not intoxicating and will not make you high” as some people believe, explains Janice Newell Bissex, MS, RDN, FAND, holistic cannabis practitioner at Jannabis Wellness. Instead, “CBD interacts with our endocannabinoid system,” she says. One’s endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a widespread neuromodulatory system that “plays a role in regulating pain, mood, immune function and inflammation,” says Josh Redd, NMD, the founder of RedRiver Health and Wellness and author of “The Truth About Low Thyroid.”
What does CBD do?
In this interaction with one’s endocannabinoid system, the chemical compound works to calm one’s nervous system, reduce inflammation and alleviate some chronic pain symptoms. Harvard Medical School says “there is moderate evidence that CBD can improve sleep disorders, fibromyalgia pain, muscle spasticity related to multiple sclerosis and anxiety.”
Bissex adds that some people find that CBD can also be a helpful treatment for traumatic brain injuries or seizures. Redd says the chemical compound has properties that can alleviate some epilepsy symptoms and provide autoimmune management as well.
Is CBD considered a drug?
Though CBD does affect the structure or function of the body, as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines a drug, CBD is not classified as a narcotic drug. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) notes that CBD is not impairing, and the World Health Organization‘s Commision in Narcotic Drugs found that the chemical “has no potential for abuse and no potential to produce dependence.” Bissex adds that CBD has a good safety profile and is “generally well tolerated.”
Redd agrees that the chemical is well received by most users but says we still “lack long-term studies.” He adds that “the biggest concern with CBD is that the market is not fully regulated, and the quality and purity of CBD products can vary.” The CDC similarly notes a lack of regulation and says that because scientists are still learning about how CBD affects the body, it strongly suggests keeping CBD products “in childproof containers and out of the reach of children.”
The agency also warns adult users of potential harms and side effects associated with taking CBD products. These include liver damage, upset stomach, changes in one’s appetite, irritability and interference with other drugs one is taking that may cause more serious problems. Bissex says other side effects of using CBD products may also include “vivid dreams, fatigue and low blood pressure.”

Cannabis – Happy 4/20 and Happy Earth Day 2024. Celebrate the Inclusions.
Happy 420 Day
According to National Day Calendar, 420 Day is celebrated every year on April 20, where cannabis producers, consumers and advocates celebrate and smoke marijuana.
“Once an unconventional day, the day has become the rallying cry of those who seek to legalize marijuana for medicinal and recreational uses,” the company wrote.

While federal law in the United States still classifies cannabis as illegal, many states have legalized the substance for medicinal or recreational use — or both.
Where did 420 originate?
Since the 1970s, people have celebrated the unofficial holiday. But why is it celebrated on 4/20 and where did the celebration originate?
Well, it’s not exactly clear.
There are many myths that have circulated across social media and the globe about how the day 4/20 came to be, with most reports proving unverifiable.
in the 1970s when a group of teenagers from San Rafael High School in Marian County would ritualistically smoke marijuana at 4:20 each day. The number 420 became their code for marijuana.
The five students called themselves the “Waldos,” which referenced the wall they would sit on at their school. The origin of the Waldos has been documented in letters, military records and high school newspaper clippings to corroborate these origins.
Subsequently, the term 420 ultimately became synonymous with the drug and was promotedby bands like The Grateful Dead.
420 lights up on social media
Social media users across the U.S. rang in the unofficial holiday Wednesday by calling for the legalization of weed nationwide and by posting pictures of their cannabis products.
“Happy 420,” XXL magazine posted along with a picture of actor Seth Rogen alongside rappers Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa smoking marijuana “blunts.”
Happy Earth Day, 2024
As the climate crisis becomes ever more serious, each Earth Day that comes along takes on extra significance. Established in 1970 in the US, the annual event brings together millions of people from around the world in support of the environment, highlighting the urgent action we need to take to save our planet.
Earth Day 2024 comes as a worrying new report found that global concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide—the top three heat-trapping gases—reached a record high again in 2023. Meanwhile, a separate study found that Antarctica saw an astonishing rise of 38.5 degrees Celsius above its average seasonal temperature back in 2022, leading to major concerns about the alarming rate at which global warming is affecting our planet.
That’s why it’s more important than ever that Earth Day is seen as a rallying cry for real action on the climate crisis. Want to ensure that you play your part? Here’s everything you need to know.

What is Earth Day?
Marked by millions around the world, Earth Day is an annual event designed to shine a light on the serious environmental problems we’re facing, from the climate crisis to air pollution and deforestation.
When is Earth Day 2024?
Earth Day takes place on April 22 every year, but the entire month of April (sometimes called Earth Month)—and especially the week running up to Earth Day (sometimes called Earth Week)—is a time when environmental issues take center stage.
Why is Earth Day on April 22?
Earth Day was the brainchild of US senator and environmentalist Gaylord Nelson, following a 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. He came up with the idea of having college teach-ins to highlight the importance of clean air and water, with April 22 chosen as a convenient date between Spring Break and finals.
Organizers decided to name the date Earth Day, with the first event in 1970 leading to an astonishing 20 million people across the US taking to the streets—around 10 percent of the country’s population at the time. The event undoubtedly had a major impact, with President Richard Nixon creating the Environmental Protection Agency just months later in December 1970, as well as signing the Clean Air Act.
Earth Day later became an international campaign in 1990, when environmental activists asked one of the original organizers, Denis Hayes, to help create another event to spotlight the ecological challenges facing our planet.
What is the Earth Day 2024 theme?
The theme for Earth Day 2024 is Planet v Plastics, highlighting the fact that 380 million tonnes of plastic are now produced every year—while only 9 percent of plastic ever produced has been recycled. Campaigners are now calling for a 60 percent reduction in plastic by 2040. “The Planet v Plastics campaign is a call to arms, a demand that we act now to end the scourge of plastics and safeguard the health of every living being upon our planet,” Kathleen Rogers, president of Earthday.org, explains.How can you celebrate Earth Day?
There are thousands of events taking place around the world this Earth Day. You can find out what’s happening near you via this map, or even create your own event. Organizers have put together a number of ideas for celebrating Earth Day via its handy action tool kit, from avoiding single-use plastic to taking part in The Great Global Cleanup campaign. Other suggestions include signing the Global Plastics Treaty petition and saying no to fast fashion, the majority of which is made from plastic.
What else can you do to help the planet?
Of course, at Vogue we believe that every day should be Earth Day, so it’s vital that we continue to take action throughout the whole year. If you want to find out more about the challenges we’re facing, here are the books to read, the documentaries to watch, and the activists to follow.
Beyond that, here are some other ways you can live more sustainably, including making more eco-friendly fashion choices, switching to renewable energy, flying less, and eating less meat, fish, and dairy. You can also join a local campaign group, write to your politicians, and donate to environmental charities such as Greenpeace, 350.org, and Rainforest Alliance.

Initiatives underscoring that the global community has its eyes on plastic:
In March 2022, 175 nations agreed to develop a legally binding agreement on plastic pollution by the end of 2024, prompting a major step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions from plastic production, use and disposal. The agreement is referred to as the Global Plastics Treaty.
In consensus with the countries agreeing on the treaty and stating that there is ‘no time to waste’, major commercial businesses joined in on the wish to tackle the issue of plastic pollution.
LAS VEGAS, NV – Romaine calm! Hemp, Inc. is to report that the global hemp-based foods market is showing strong indicators of growth, fueled by the rising vegan population, advancements in processing technology, and the increasing number of health-conscious consumers seeking plant-based and gluten-free alternatives. The hemp-based foods market is set to reach $8.36 billion by 2028 according to The Business Research Company’s (TBRC) latest report, “Hemp Based Foods Global Market Report 2024″. The report unveils a comprehensive overview of the hemp-based foods sector. Projected to achieve a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9%, the market is anticipated to burgeon from its current standing to an impressive $8.36 billion by 2028. This surge is attributed primarily to the expanding vegan population across the globe. (Great things happen when olive our friends stick together.) Anyway, TBRC’s analysis provides an excellent in-depth look at the hemp-based foods market, breaking it down into critical segments:
— Distribution Channels: Supermarket Stores, Convenience Stores
— Geography: North America, South America, Asia-Pacific, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, Middle East, and Africa
Hemp-based foods, derived from the seeds of the hemp plant, are celebrated for their nutritional completeness, featuring all the essential amino acids required by the human body. The report highlights hemp milk, hemp oil, hemp cheese substitutes, and hemp-based protein powders as key products fueling the market’s growth. Notably, hemp seed oil emerges as a versatile product, finding utility in both culinary applications and as a valued ingredient in cosmetic formulations.
The report underscores the diverse uses of hemp seeds and oils, highlighting their nutritional profile rich in omega fatty acids and gamma-linolenic acid. Their therapeutic properties, bolstered by high antioxidant content, make hemp-based foods an attractive option for health-conscious consumers.
Distributed primarily through supermarkets and convenience stores, hemp-based foods are becoming increasingly accessible to consumers worldwide, further propelling market growth. And with a robust infrastructure for hemp cultivation and a steadily growing demand for plant-based food from our vegan slayers here, North America is poised to dominate the market share, according to the Report. Yes, the forks have spoken and Hemp, Inc. is one of the companies at the forefront listening!
Hemp, Inc. has been one of the key players in this burgeoning industry, driving the market forward with its quality products and strategic market approaches. Coupled with an invaluable roster of connections with hemp manufacturers and vendors across the country and abroad, the Company expects to see meteoric growth curves on a domestic and international scale as the industry continues to grow.
Through its e-portal (www.hempinc.com), the Company’s hemp-derived products are poised to capture a large share of the marketplace on a global scale and to play a vital role in maintaining good health and well-being… two significant growth factors of the CBD market. The Company’s product line contains CBD, CBDA, CBG, CBGA, and CBN (non-psychoactive compounds found in cannabis plants). These are active ingredients in cannabis that are derived from the hemp plant, which is widely known for pain relief, relaxation, and anxiety relief. A recipe is only as good as its ingredients and how those ingredients are blended.
Hemp, Inc. is the only company in America that uses pharmaceutical-grade beta-cyclodextrin (a carbohydrate used during the manufacturing process). Carbohydrates bond with oils including all the cannabinoids for massive and rapid absorption and uptake. The Company’s CBD, CBDA, CBG, CBGA, and CBN product lines are highly potent therapeutic doses that have received rave reviews.
Hemp, Inc. has also pushed the boundaries with its CBD/CBG coffee enhancer. This powerhouse product is super potent, absorbs rapidly in coffee, and is 4 times more potent (at a fraction of the price) than other hemp-derived coffee enhancers currently on the market. Its high-quality ingredient combination offers 30 servings per bottle and contains a total of 10,000mg of cannabinoids (7,500mg CBD and 2,500mg CBG) in an MCT oil base. Per serving, that’s 250mg CBD and 83mg CBG remarkably mixed in a wonderfully rich cup of coffee.
The CBD/CBG coffee enhancer comes in plain (natural) and vanilla flavors. The plain (natural) coffee enhancer is available now and the vanilla flavor will be available by the end of this month. A single container (7-day supply) retails for $27.95 and a bottle (30-day supply) retails for $99.95. Wholesale bulk orders are single-use packages, available through select restaurants. Currently, Hemp, Inc. has decided to expand its product line and has updated its website. The Company will announce its new products as they are launched throughout the year.
Hemp, Inc. also discovered its grounded kenaf and hemp blend is the perfect substrate to grow healthy and/or medicinal mushrooms and can make and/or provide the raw materials to produce hemp-based products such as hempcrete, horse bedding, hemp bio-plastics, and more. As one of the most rapidly growing plants on the planet, the hemp plant is used to make a variety of hemp products. It can be shifted into rope, paper, textiles, clothing, disposable polymers, paint, insulation, food, and animal feed.
On the industrial side, Hemp, Inc.’s industrial hemp plant in North Carolina manufactures and sells two industrial hemp products: Spill-Be-Gone(TM) (an oil spill cleanup product made from the core particles and powder of the kenaf and hemp plant) and DrillWall(TM) (a non-toxic, biodegradable drilling fluid additive used in oilfield drilling applications). Hemp, Inc.’s Spill-Be-Gone(TM) is sold in industrial-sized quantities for large oil spill cleanups. It is fast and cost-effective in cleaning up oil spills on land or water. The Company’s DrillWall(TM) is a tested LCM made of kenaf and hemp cellulose. It includes milled products from kenaf and hemp that are made into oil drilling fluid additives and oil absorbents.
