Your caffeine analogy goes along with the alcohol analogy as well. Together these say there is a real future in store for cannabinoids. People who think CBD=Tulips need to instead consider the track record for post-prohibition alcohol and also caffeine or coffee. Things that can make people physically and/or emotionally feel better, in any subjective way, never go out of style. Even with these products being readily available for decades upon decades, the markets around them continue to thrive. How are coffee, caffeine, and alcohol selling today?
We still see a ton of new products showing up every day in these product spaces and does anyone really think coffee, caffeine, or alcohol will be going the way of tulips any time soon? I say the same goes for cannabis and cannabinoids. They have been around throughout their prohibition purely because of an unrelenting consumer interest, and there is still a massive market of interested consumers that have yet to comfortably participate.
