Do you remember when the 21st Century was the future and seemed a long way away? We are now in the year 2022 which, by a funny coincidence, is quite a significant year in the world of science fiction.
Are you aware the cult 1973 movie Soylent Green, with Charlton Heston and Edward G. Robinson, is set in 2022? The classic movie, about overpopulation and environmental issues, is strangely relevant today. It stands as a vision of a possible future, which may have been more accurate than even the filmmakers at the time could have imagined.
It never fails to amaze how many sciences fiction stories, movies and tv shows from the past, seem to have successfully predicted the future.
However, in this day and age, the world has seen so many fantastic innovations in science and technology, it can seem as if we are living in a piece of sci-fi. From breakthroughs in IT and telecommunication, to solar power and green energy, amongst other areas.
One industry which has seen many breakthroughs and has risen in prominence in the past few years, is the field of natural, healthy living. This is summed up by the growth and popularity of CBD products around the world.
The Cannabidiol industry is considered one of the fastest growing trades in the globe, with the United Kingdom amongst its biggest markets. It is not hard to see why, with a rising number of people being introduced to CBD and wishing to try it out.
It is funny that, only a few years ago, many people had never even sampled Cannabidiol sourced products, but this has now changed.
The UK has seen a massive upsurge in the CBD trade, where its` profile has greatly increased, as people become more familiar with its benefits. From helping overcome pain, inflammation, and sleeplessness, to emotional problems like anxiety and depression, and helping you relax.
It is estimated around six million people in the UK have used CBD, making it the second biggest market in the world, next to the United States. Experts say the Cannabidiol industry has made almost £700 million in the past few years and is predicted will be worth up to £1billion by 2025.
The 21st Century has seen the CBD industry rise to become a powerful force in the lives of millions and is only set to continue in 2022.
We are now at the dawn of a new era, where it truly feels as if the future is now.
