Legal Retailers Still Can’t Keep CBD Products in Stock
Since the US loosened its restrictions on hemp growing late last year, public enthusiasm for CBD has turned to a feeding frenzy and despite CBD’s status as a controlled substance north of the border, Canadians are so excited to get their hands on it that legal retailers can’t keep CBD on their shelves.
Part of the problem is while recreational cannabis users may already know about CBD, large consumer groups like elderly Canadians and people with chronic pain are now seeking the cannabinoid out.
It’s also popular with new cannabis users who don’t want to dive into the deep end of THC-percentages. Cannabis producers would love to be profiting on the CBD boom—but they just weren’t prepared for the demand.
Speaking to the Star, the founder of Vancouver cannabis retailer City Cannabis said, “I don’t think the licensed producers really realized how popular CBD was, so there’s none available.” He said that as soon as CBD products are back in stock, customers race to get all they can, which quickly empties the shelves again.
