SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., Nov. 01, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Northsight Capital, Inc (OTCQB: NCAP) announced that the company has reached an agreement in principal to be exclusive distributor of CBD products for SeniorsCBD, a brand of Seniors For CBD.

Seniors for CBD and Northsight have signed an agreement in principal to establish the first CBD product line specifically for Seniors market. There have been negotiations with several manufacturers and plans are to introduce their first product in the very near future.
The Seniors market for CBD is one of the fastest growing areas for the Cannabis industry. According to a new estimate from cannabis industry analysts the Brightfield Group, the hemp-CBD market alone could hit $22 billion by 2022, with senior citizens taking the lead in purchasing the product. As of March 2018, in Colorado, people 50 and older now make up more than 36 percent of patients on the medical marijuana registry. According to an article published by AARP this year, Boomers are turning to CBD oil for pain management and other health issues. CBD, which comes in a wide variety of forms including salves, edibles and oils, does not produce the high typically associated with marijuana. Ten thousand people turn sixty-five each day, according to the Pew Research Center, and more and more are trying CBD for their health and well-being.
In February a peer-reviewed study of almost three thousand patients in Israel, the first study of its kind, showed that cannabis can be safe and effective for seniors, and lead to decreased use of pharmaceuticals, including opioids. In the study, published in the European Journal of Internal Medicine, almost ninety-four per cent of patients reported improvement in their condition, with their pain level reduced by half.
Another study, this time conducted by HelloMD and Brightfield Group, analyzed CBD use in 2,400 members of the HelloMD community. 42% of CBD users said they were able to stop using traditional painkillers such as Tylenol and prescription medication such as Vicodin. 80% said they found CBD to be either ‘very or extremely effective.
