Market Dynamics: Cannabis Market

Key Drivers-

• Awareness among people about cannabis seeds' benefits drives the market-

Cannabis seeds are a nutritional source rich in high-value nutrients such as proteins, with good digestibility and essential amino acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids, fiber, minerals, and vitamins. They treat chronic pain, lower the risk of heart disease, and enhance neurological and other problems. cannabis seeds are also a rich source of health-promoting antioxidants and phytochemicals that may be useful in supporting health and aiding the transition to plant-based diets.
Additionally, products of cannabis seeds like cannabidiol (CBD) oil are a cannabinoid that is mixed with a carrier oil to make CBD oil. It claims that the oil benefits various health problems and regulates anxiety, mood, and appetite. CBD might help treat anxiety disorders, although there have not been many trials to look at CBD's anxiety-relieving effects in humans. For instance, in one study, 57 men took either CBD oil or a sugar pill with no CBD (placebo) before a public speaking event.15 The researchers assessed the participants' anxiety levels using blood pressure and heart rate measures. The researchers also used a reliable test for mood states called the Visual Analog Mood Scale.
The men who took 300 milligrams (mg) of CBD oil reported less anxiety than the men who were given a placebo; however, the men who took 100 or 600 mg of CBD oil did not experience the same effects. This trial was limited by a small sample size and only enrolled men, so more data is needed to see if CBD has a similar impact on women.

• Therapeutic benefits of cannabis seeds drive the growth of the global cannabis seeds market.

The therapeutic use of cannabinoids treated numerous diseases such as -inflammation, neurodegenerative disorders, anorexia, pain, cardiovascular disorders, cancer, obesity, epilepsy, and cancer. Also, the use of cannabis for chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting may be the best-known and accepted use of cannabis by healthcare professionals, pain management is the most common reason for use among the medical marijuana states that keep records (although New Jersey does not accept chronic pain as an acceptable use). For example, the most common conditions for which medical cannabis is used in Colorado and Oregon are pain, and spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis, nausea, posttraumatic stress disorder, cancer, epilepsy, cachexia, glaucoma, HIV/AIDS, and degenerative neurological conditions. For instance-, Light et al. (2014) reported that 94 percent of Colorado medical marijuana ID cardholders indicated “severe pain” as a medical condition. Likewise, Ilgen et al. (2013) reported that 87 percent of participants in their study were seeking medical marijuana for pain relief. (source:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK425767/)

Restraint-

The legalization of cannabis seeds is a major issue in many countries-
There is a trace amount of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) found in cannabis. It is a psychoactive compound used to manage and treat chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting., consuming large amounts of cannabis makes you high. That’s the reason Cannabis would then be available to the adult general population for purchase and use at will, similar to tobacco and alcohol. State legislature decriminalized cannabis because the act of removing criminal sanctions against an act, article, or behavior. the legal system would not prosecute a person for possession under a specified amount. Instead, the penalties would range from no penalties at all to civil fines, drug education, or drug treatment. Decriminalization of cannabis means it would remain illegal, 
For instance- Cannabis is the most commonly used illicit drug in the US. Data from The National Survey on Drug Use and Health indicate that 44% of males and 35% of females have used marijuana at least once in their lifetime. More recent studies suggest that regular use of marijuana/cannabis is increasing. Data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health indicate that in persons over the age of 12years, the rate of past month cannabis use and the number of users in 2009 (6.6% or 16.7 million) were higher compared to 2008 (6.1% or 15.2 million) and 2007 (5.8% or 14.4 million).
