From the Editor

After watching his mother suffer from arthritis, Hussein Rakine turned to CBD. But he was wary of the quality of many products. With the connections and knowledge he'd gained working at a wholesale smoke supplier, he made a CBD-infused honey oil, selling it on a new site, JustCBD. He's since expanded his line to include 300 products that he sells online and at 14,000 small businesses. Sales are expected to hit $76 million in 2021. Rakine is a Lebanese American, whose parents immigrated to the U.S. to escape the wars in Lebanon.
