The hemp industry was bound to grow and grow quickly, given the decades of pent-up demand from federal controls.  Now hemp, marijuana's non-stoner sibling, is legal to grow. 

And Oregon alone is now growing something like 50,000 acres of the stuff, mostly for the CBD oil it contains.  Hemp industry analysts--they DO exist--say the price is likely to crash because of overproduction.
