Gaining Momentum

Its Hemp is a legitimate, established (2019) e-commerce marketplace for hemp/cannabis products in India, verified through external search despite the low-quality submission data. While the user claimed 'everyone' uses it, reality indicates a solid niche business with tens of thousands of users. The project shows good market timing and real-world utility in a regulated sector, but scores are capped by its niche scale and the lack of technical innovation (standard e-commerce). The submission quality was poor (false claims), which heavily impacted the quality factors.
