Major Retail Stores Clearing Shelves to Carry CBD Infused Products

PALM BEACH, Florida, April 4, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- What has seemed to be the 'next big step' for infused products, has finally started to happen. Everyone would gladly bet all their chips that it was only time before the big boys would jump into the retail distribution channel. Well… it was good bet, especially since CBD for medical use is legal in 46 states and CBD derived from hemp rather than marijuana is legal in all states. Recently, this past month of March, CVS announced that it will: "… begin selling hemp-derived CBD products in eight states. The national drug store chain will be marketing the topical cannabidiol products, such as creams, sprays and roll-ons, as "an alternative source of relief," CVS said in a statement to NBC News. CVS will also be partnering with a company to test and verify the quality of the CBD topicals sold in its drug stores." NBC News reported that: " CVS to sell CBD products in 800 stores in 8 states. We are carrying hemp-derived CBD products in select states to help meet consumer demand for alternative care options," said CVS Health Spokesperson, Mike DeAngelis. The items will be sold in Alabama, California, Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland and Tennessee." "It's a way to reduce the stigma for a product that really doesn't deserve to be stigmatized," said a nutritionist and cannabis practitioner." Active Companies from around the market with current developments this week include: Pyramidion Technology Group, Inc. (OTC:PYTG), Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), Neptune Wellness Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ: NEPT) (TSX: NEPT), Curaleaf Holdings, Inc. (CSE: CURA) (OTCQX: CURLF), MariMed Inc. (OTCQB: MRMD).

Shortly thereafter a Fortune article headlined "Walgreens to Clear Shelf Space for CBD Products in 1500 Stores" reported that: "One week after CVS said it would start selling products with the cannabis compound CBD in some of its stores, drug-chain Walgreen Boots Alliance said it would sell CBD-based sprays, creams, and patches in 1,500 stores throughout nine states. The move, first reported by CNBC, will offer cannabis-based products in nine states that have legalized medical marijuana sales : Colorado, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, New Mexico, Oregon, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Vermont. Walgreens has not made clear which CBD brands its stores will carry." The article continued: "Marijuana has been used to relieve pain, digestive and psychological disorders for more than 3,000 years—but the efficacy, safety and legality of the drug are still widely debated," Walgreens said on a corporate blog post about medical cannabis. "Research on the health benefits of marijuana is ongoing, but current studies have proven that cannabinoid receptors play an important role in many body processes, including metabolic regulation, cravings, pain, anxiety, bone growth and immune function."
