Editor's Notes
- 25,000 Uses 4 Months to regrow Cars, houses, children with epilepsy
- 1.8% of adults aged 18 years or older have had a diagnosis of epilepsy or seizure disorder. 1% of children aged 0-17 years have had a diagnosis of epilepsy or seizure disorder. This is about 750,000 children aged 0-17 years. When counting both children and adults, about 5.1 million people in the United States have had a diagnosis of epilepsy or a seizure disorder. (Source: CDC.gov) The total indirect and direct cost of epilepsy in the United States is estimated to be $15.5 billion yearly. This estimate is based on a reported cost of $12.5 billion in 1995 converted to 2004 dollar value using Bureau of Labor Statistics data.
- We talked to industry thought leaders, manufacturers, government regulators, scientists, farmers and many others, conducting more than 125 interviews for this inaugural issue. We pulled import and export statistics, looked at industry data from associations such as the European Industrial Hemp Association, Hemp Industries Association, International Hemp Building Association and point-of-sale data from SPINS. HBJ studied market size and penetration rates for comparable industries such as natural and organic foods, supplements, organic textiles, natural and organic personal care products and the medical and adult-use cannabis industry. We attended the United Nations Business Forum and met with chief sustainability executives of multinational corporations, heads of banks and government leaders.
