CBD Sales Spike Prior To Shelter-In-Place Orders, But Its Staying Power Now Is Not As A Coronavirus Cure But As A Reducer Of Anxiety And Stress
More states, such as Florida, issued coronavirus related stay-at-home orders yesterday (April 1, 2020). CBD is not a cure for COVID-19, but it offers relief from anxiety and stress by people who fear they, family or friends may contract it. As a result, we have seen CBD products show staying power in sales during the crisis — selling online, in dispensaries and other licensed retailers deemed essential businesses by state and local authorities.
The global impact of the coronavirus has intensified coverage of companies that market CBD and other health-related products. Media firms such as stockmarketpress.com feature coverage of CBD and health-related stocks such as CBD Unlimited, Inc. (OTC PINK: EDXC), Johnson & Johnson (NASDAQ: JNJ), Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG), Canopy Growth Corp. (NYSE: CGC), New Age Beverages Corp. (NASDAQ: NBEV), GW Pharmaceuticals PLC (NASDAQ: GWPH), Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX: NEPT). Aurora Cannabis Inc. (NYSE:ACB) and OrganiGram Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: OGI).
CBD Sales Spiked Prior To Shelter-In-Place Orders, But Its Staying Power Now Is Not As A Coronavirus Cure But As A Reducer Of Anxiety And Stress
CBD is not a cure or protocol for medically treating the coronavirus but its properties address key elements. It is known to offer anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial properties. It also acts as an effective treatment for nausea and vomiting, which can be induced by the coronavirus in humans. Just as important, CBD can be a relaxant for anxiety and stress of home-bound people fearful of catching the virus. CBD sales spiked prior to shelter-in-place orders, but its staying power now is not as a coronavirus cure but as a reducer of anxiety and stress.
Nationwide online sales of CBD jumped 230% prior to the coronavirus quarantines and in California orders hit a record peak after Gov. Gavin Newsom issued his shelter-in-place order for the state, the Wall Street Journal reported, based on data from website Weedmaps. As more states mandate stay-at-home orders with only essential travel permitted (visits to groceries and pharmacies), several states have ruled that CBD dispensaries and licensing shops are essential and can remain open during the crisis. CBD sales spiked prior to shelter-in-place orders, but its staying power now is not as a coronavirus cure but as a reducer of anxiety and stress.
As a result, CBD is playing an important role in calming the nerves of shut-ins. The conclusion of the record online sales and spike in California sales the day that state issued a mandatory stay-at-home order is that CBD and cannabis customers stocked up on product prior to being home-bound during the coronavirus crisis. We have seen runs on hand sanitizer and toilet paper. CBD and cannabis remained available at legal and licensed retailers, several states ruled. It is also available online, where traditionally 70% of CBD sales are made. CBD sales spiked prior to shelter-in-place orders, but its staying power now is not as a coronavirus cure but as a reducer of anxiety and stress.
