Retailers are allowed to sell CBD products in Illinois and Chicago if the products are derived from hemp and have less than 0.3 percent of the psychoactive cannabis compound THC. The products sold at Walgreens will not contain THC, the company said.

Walgreens will also sell the products at stores in Oregon, Colorado, New Mexico, Kentucky, Tennessee, Vermont, South Carolina and Indiana. Walgreens will start selling the products in the “near-term,” Faith said, though he said he didn’t have an exact date.

Malls are also getting in on the CBD action. Ohio-based cannabis company Green Growth Brands announced plans this year to open shops selling CBD-infused beauty products in eight Chicago-area malls.

A number of boutiques, natural food stores and clothing stores in the Chicago area also sell CBD products, which as recently as a couple of years ago were mostly sold online and at vape and smoke shops
