The historic, venture capital-fueled tech boom of the past two decades in Silicon Valley and beyond has turned “innovation” into perhaps one of the most abused terms in our day-to-day lexicon.

The CBD sector is growing at an exponential rate.

CBD products include oils, tinctures and vaporizer kits.
