PALM BEACH, Florida, June 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Cannabis wellness products have gone mainstream. As CBD products find their way onto the shelves of Sephora, Barney's, Estee Lauder, Vitamin Shoppe, and Ulta Beauty, analysts believe the trend could be a significant catalyst. In fact, given sizable interest, Piper Jaffray believes the CBD market could be worth up to $100 billion. That's opening a wide range of opportunity for companies including The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS) (OTC:BOSQF), Green Growth Brands Inc. (CSE:GGB)(OTC:GGBXF), The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings Ltd. (TSX:TGOD)(OTC:TGODF), Charlotte's Web Holdings Inc. (CSE:CWEB)(OTC:CWBHF), and SLANG Worldwide Inc. (CSE:SLNG)(OTC:SLGWF).

The Yield Growth Corp. (CSE:BOSS)(OTCQB:BOSQF) BREAKING NEWS: The Yield Growth Corp. just announced that the Oregon Liquor Control Commission (OLCC) has given final packaging approval for 6 Wright & Well cannabis topicals and tinctures to be distributed in Oregon, in the United States. This approval represents the final approval before the products can be sold through cannabis retailers in Oregon. OLCC approval of 3 additional Wright & Well products is expected shortly. The initial 6 approved Wright & Well products are Be Chill™ Tincture (THC: Purple Hindu Kush, CBD: hemp source), Be Better™CBD Tincture (CBD: hemp source), Be Better™CBD Extra Strength Tincture (CBD: hemp source), Be Relieved™Pain Gel (THC: Purple Hindu Kush, CBD: hemp source), Be Free™ Pain Balm (THC: Purple Hindu Kush, CBD: hemp source), and Be Loved™Massage Oil (THC: Purple Hindu Kush, CBD: hemp source)

"Now that we have successfully completed the process, we have cleared the final hurdle, and we expect manufacturing to be complete in early July, and sales to begin in mid-July." The products will be distributed in Oregon by Nova Paths, an Oregon-based cannabis licensed distributor that has established relationships with over 400 licensed cannabis retail stores.
