Nearly 10% of Americans Will Use CBD by 2025, notes Cowen & Co.

HOUSTON, TX / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2019 / Nearly 7% of Americans currently use CBD, according to Cowen & Co. analysts.

According to Cowen's January 2019 consumer survey of 2,500 adults, 6.9% of respondents are using CBD at the moment. ''This initial response piqued our interest considerably, as it was much higher than we would have suspected,'' they said, as quoted by the Press Herald.
