CBD products have been a growing tend for a couple of years now. The items, which often include facial oils, teabags, fizzy drinks and even gum, are infused with cannabidiol.
This is one of 100-plus naturally occurring chemical compounds of the cannabis plant. Not the one that gets you high… that’s THC.
People use CBD, most commonly taken as an oil ingested sublingually, to help with stress, anxiety and insomnia. Now, perhaps because of this, sales of CBD products have skyrocketed during the coronavirus lockdown.
Specialist CBD retailer, HandpickedCBD.com, saw record online sales of CBD in May. UK households came to the end of their second full month in lockdown last month, due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
