“With the over-cultivation of flowers, farmers have become what they believe is innovative in purchasing oil-making machines, and now what we’re seeing is we’ve just shifted the over-saturation of flower to the oil business,” Carter said.

Infused products companies haven’t scratched the surface yet, but they could start doing so in a big way this year.

Consultant Bulbulyan – who has worked with cannabis businesses of all stripes for nearly five years – said the industry will take major steps forward this year in promoting their products and brands.
