The US government legalized cannabinoid with a maximum of 0.3% of THC under the Farm Bill Act in December 2018. In the journal Neurotherapeutics in 2015 they derived that CBD, a non- psychoactive compound, can actually help reduce anxiety in people with certain anxiety-related behavioral disorders, treating stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Zenith Global guestimates that the US CBD-filled market will reach an estimated USD 1.4 billion by 2023, making it one of the fastest growing sectors in the overall industry.

Upon the signing of a definitive agreement, Redfund will have a path to its first direct revenue stream in this globally evolving CBD-infused beverage market. We will continue to expand our reach into profitable revenue streams as the CBD market expands and is given more exposure promoting its health and wellness benefits.” said Meris Kott, CEO, “We are hoping to sign the definitive in the next few weeks and look forward to pushing this CBD tea brand forward,” added Meris Kott.
