CBD oil – or more formally known cannabidiol – is an extract of cannabis that proponents say can be used to treat a variety of ailments, from epilepsy to arthritis to chronic pain disorders, just to name a few.
Unlike traditional marijuana, however, CBD contains no THC, which is the chemical that elicits the drug’s high.
As such, it has approval to be sold commercially, often in the form of oils, lotions, candy, and bath products, despite the continuing criminalization of marijuana.
Just since this past autumn, five stores selling CBD products have opened. They include:
Greenville CBD Company, an online retailer
Your CBD Store, on Woodruff Road
Purely CBD of Greenville, on West North Street
Grassroots Remedy, also on Woodruff
CBD Greenville, on White Horse Road.
The expansion of CBD sales comes after President Trump signed the Farm Bill last December making it legal for hemp to be cultivated on a widespread scale.
