A New Era of CBD: Amendment 64 and the Changing Landscape

Nov 6, 2024

The passage of Amendment 64 in Colorado on November 6th, 2012 marked a pivotal moment in the history of cannabis. As one of the first states to legalize recreational marijuana, it set a precedent that would have far-reaching consequences for the CBD industry. This blog post will delve into how Amendment 64 has transformed the landscape of CBD products and their availability.

Increased Awareness and Acceptance

One of the most significant impacts of Amendment 64 was a surge in public awareness and acceptance of cannabis products. As more people became familiar with marijuana and its potential benefits, interest in CBD, a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis, also grew. This increased awareness led to a greater demand for CBD products, driving innovation and growth within the industry.

Regulatory Changes

The legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado necessitated the development of new regulations to govern the production, sale, and consumption of cannabis products. These regulations, while initially focused on marijuana, also had implications for the CBD industry. As CBD products gained popularity, regulatory bodies began to address issues such as labeling, testing, and safety standards. While the regulatory landscape for CBD products has evolved over time, Amendment 64 played a crucial role in establishing a framework for oversight.

Expansion of the CBD Market

Prior to Amendment 64, the CBD market was relatively small and limited to a few niche products. However, the legalization of marijuana in Colorado opened the door for a broader range of CBD products to enter the market. This expansion included everything from CBD-infused topicals and edibles to CBD oils and capsules. The increased competition and innovation within the CBD industry have led to a wider variety of options for consumers, making it easier to find products that suit their individual needs.

Challenges and Opportunities

While Amendment 64 has undoubtedly had a positive impact on the CBD industry, it has also presented challenges. The evolving regulatory landscape, coupled with the ongoing stigma surrounding cannabis, can create obstacles for businesses operating in the CBD space. However, these challenges also present opportunities for industry leaders to advocate for clear regulations and educate the public about the benefits of CBD.

Conclusion

Amendment 64 was a groundbreaking moment that paved the way for the growth and development of the CBD industry. By increasing awareness, driving regulatory changes, and expanding the market, the legalization of recreational marijuana in Colorado has had a profound impact on the availability and accessibility of CBD products. As the industry continues to evolve, it is clear that Amendment 64 will be remembered as a turning point in the history of cannabis.

My husband suffers from severe leg cramps. And not restless leg syndrome. I stoped to talk to Nikki at HOPE LIVES! I was tell her about my husbands horrible leg cramps. She asked me if he would use PROPER CANNA NATURALS? The one Ms. Nikki suggested was a cream the name is Rocky Mountain chill. It’s a muscle gel. I brought it home he looked at it two or three days tried it and almost instantly it took his cramps away. He spent two days with no leg cramps whatsoever using that cream. We ran out of the sample I have ordered the big bottle and I can’t wait for it to get here. It was hard to imagine that some thing all natural could do what it did for him and he feel better and get sleep. Not only him but me because he was not up and down all night . Thank you Nikki for the recommendation. It’s the best. I will be looking into their other products. Sincerely Mikie

I love my monthly subscription to Proper Canna Naturals! The soft gels are part of my daily routine and the Rocky Mountain Chill feels good on a sore back. All of their products are made with Organic Colorado hemp and lots of love 🥰

I recently switched from another big box brand of CBD oil to Proper Canna. Within a few weeks I knew I had made a really great decision. My back use to hurt every day of the week. I have about 1-2 days a month after heavy exercise now that I will get moderate pain. The customer service is stellar and the product ships to your home very quickly. I love the packaging and supporting a small business, all while feeling better inside and out. I do have to rave about the Rocky Mountain Chill Gel. It can kick a headache is 10 minutes! My husband and I both absolutely love it. I would highly recommend Proper Canna to anyone

I stopped by this last Friday to try one of their CBD tinctures. Justin was AMAZING! We talked about the different products, and I ended up getting a bundle with the Rocky Mountain Freeze lotion. WOW I am very impressed with the quality of both. Better then other brands I have tried! I recommend them to EVERYONE! Support Fort Collins local!

Tried a few of their products, and am really impressed at the quality! The dreamsicle tincture has really helped my sleep quality, which helps with my overall wellness. Met the owner, Dan, and such a stand up guy too! You can tell he is so passionate about his products, and after trying them myself, I can see why! Would highly recommend Proper Canna Naturals!!

As an avid proponent of grass roots businesses that do it right. Not only have I tried most of the products Proper Canna produces but I have incorporated most of their products into my lifestyle, permanently. The muscle gel has come through for me when my body aches after an intense yoga session or a long bike ride and if I’m cramping. The tincture supports my overall well being and keeps me focused and on point.

I use the cooling muscle gel and love it! As a triathlete there are days that every inch of my body aches and the cooling muscle gel helps tremendously with recovery. I’ve tried other products and this is by far the best!
