Companies like Kannaway will continue to introduce new everyday use consumer products that include all-natural hemp CBD oil to benefit customers of their Brand Ambassadors and marketing agents. These 'category creator' products are essential to fueling a continuation of the monumental growth and success that Kannaway has experienced in the network marketing industry.
