CBD & Hemp: Science, Market Trends, and Regulatory Landscape

Course Curriculum

The legalization of industrial hemp in the federal 2018 Farm Bill unleashed a wave of interest in hemp cultivation and hemp-derived CBD consumer products. This course will examine the science, trends, and regulatory landscape for hemp and CBD, and discuss how business owners can decrease risk while operating in a rapidly evolving market environment. We will also discuss how the evolution of the cannabis market will influence the industrial hemp market, and how the legalization of hemp will influence the future of the high-THC cannabis market.
