The Extract was founded in 2019. But we’ve all been highly involved in the cannabis industry for years now. The Extract didn’t just happen overnight. It’s been building for years and we feel that now is the perfect time to introduce it to the world.
We’ve been interested in everything to do with cannabis for as long as we can remember. But we did find ourselves struggling to find the right news resources. The majority of our news came from US sites, but we found very few that cater to the Cannabis News UK market. We saw a gap in the cannabis news industry, so we decided to fill it.
We want to cover it all. If there are any cannabis news related stories and we’re interested. We closely monitor the industry to bring you news updates as they happen. We dive headfirst into the major issues affecting the UK cannabis industry. Delivering in-depth reports on the topics that you care about.
Values
Integrity
We stand by what we write. And we don’t mean that in an arrogant way. Our work is based on factual research, interviews with industry leaders and written by industry experts. We trust that our work is informative, helpful and well written. We also want to build that trust with you and everybody in our audience. Trust is built through consistent, engaging work, open communication and transparency. We’re proud of each and every one of our articles. That’s why we have a comment section where you can message the author directly and open communication across social media. We’d love to hear your feedback and start a conversation.
Curiosity
Curiosity drives The Extract. The CBD and cannabis markets are still very much in their infancy. This makes it an incredibly interesting and exciting industry to be a part of. News stories and exciting insights can come from anywhere when reporting on cannabis. We studiously follow breaking news events and report on their potential impacts on the wider industry and world. We want to know who the up and coming stars are and what the next emerging markets are. We also ask questions. Lots of questions. If something happens, believe us, we’re there finding the story, speaking with people and reporting the story directly to you.
Collaboration
The Extract is a team effort. No one person could deliver multiple news articles a day with great insights, research, and media. We’ve got a talented team that focuses on all the aspects needed to create great articles and content. Videographers create informative and interesting videos about the cannabis industry. Our writers research the latest news on cannabis UK trends and write informative, timely and accurate pieces. Graphic designers make beautiful imagery and educational graphics for you. And don’t forget all web designers, social media team, analysts and experts that make The Extract what it is - the UK's leading source for cannabis news. This is how we can bring you the biggest cannabis and CBD news headlines.
What do we do?
The cannabis industry is constantly evolving and everchanging. While legislation and health are the hot topics of today, there’s also a growing interest in other fields like business and lifestyle. That’s why at The Extract we cast a wide net. Anything to do with cannabis or CBD and we’re interested in it. There’s no topic too niche or under the radar for us. We pride ourselves on being leaders, not followers.
Cannabis news UK
Following cannabis news is a fulltime job in itself! With the cannabis industry constantly growing, new facilities opening and greater public interest, news stories are happening daily. The news cycle never stops when it comes to cannabis daily news. No story is too big or small for The Extract. When a music festival decides to sell cannabis-infused beer, we report on it. When a new multi-million dollar cannabis farm opens, we report on it. The cannabis industry is so tightly woven that every story has a knock-on effect. And we’ll be there to bring you each and every story. The staff at The Extract are dedicated to bringing you the latest, breaking news.
Cannabis regulation
The team at The Extract are experts. We know the industry inside out. These skills are needed to keep up with and report on the latest cannabis regulations. While a number of countries and US states have legalised cannabis, more and more countries are exploring it too. This creates a lot of news that needs fast, accurate and detailed reporting. When we hear that a country legalises cannabis, we don’t just simply report that one facet of the story. We look at how people have reacted, what implications that might cause and the current state of legislation as a whole. Cannabis is our passion so no news story is left without being completely explored and reported on.
Cannabis business
The cannabis industry is big business. It has grown exponentially since legislation began to change. This created a whole new, multi-billion dollar industry. Giants in the farming, to***co, and alcohol industries have all invested heavily in cannabis. This has created a very active market place that needs coverage. We’re first on the scene when businesses announce ventures into the cannabis market and we’ll be there to write about the impact. With The Extract, you’ll have the latest news on how businesses are adapting to, and growing in, the cannabis industry.
Cannabis lifestyle
Lifestyle products are really spurring on the growth of the cannabis market. Wellness products have become part of daily life for lots of people. That’s why we also report on CBD news for the UK. We’re here to report how CBD and cannabis products can affect the everyday lives of normal people. CBD UK news has become a big part of who we are. We’re also really interested in how our culture has changed to become more accepting of cannabis. Our team delivers you the latest news on celebrity’s cannabis opinions, cannabis in the media and much more. We’re also fascinated with the sustainability aspect of cannabis and h**p. H**p news in 2019 is another main area of focus. H**p-based clothing and building materials are all really exciting areas of growth that we love reporting on. Stay with The Extract for the latest industrial h**p news.
Cannabis health
The health benefits of cannabis and CBD were the main driving forces behind changing attitudes towards the drug. The claims have now driven a huge scientific research industry. New claims, results, and findings need to be reported as soon as possible. The team here at The Extract are hugely interested in a number of health applications of cannabis. Mental health is very important to us, that’s why we pride ourselves on bringing you the latest news and reporting on the issues that matter most. Pain relief, muscle recovery, and sleep are other areas that we pay a lot of attention to.
