Since CBD (or cannabidiol) became legal by the 2018 Farm Bill, CBD products are becoming a huge trend in retail, with a lot of consumers turning to it to help with a variety of health conditions and their overall well-being. Twenty-eight percent of consumers, according to an Acosta report, are presently using CBD products on an "as-needed" or daily basis.

Health conditions that don't have a "one-size-fits-all treatment" are very common and it's important across all age groups to avoid chemicals when it comes to self-care and health, said Colin Stewart, SVP, business intelligence at Acosta. The sales and projections for CBD show consumers are using CBD more and more for help, and the demand is growing quickly.

Males, millennials, and individuals with four-year degrees are presently the main CBD demographics. Individuals who reported "as-needed" or daily use of CBD include:

  • Millennials (56 percent)
