How The Cannabis Industry Is Coping In 2020
Canada and most U.S. states with legalized cannabis industries declared dispensaries as essential services, allowing sales to continue throughout the COVID-19 crisis, enabling robust demand to be met
Even with strong sales momentum, cannabis stocks broadly suffered during the quarter amid heightened market volatility
Early-stage cannabis companies rely heavily on external capital to fuel their growth ambitions, but investors are stepping back from financing riskier industries in the current environment
Despite these near-term challenges, we remain optimistic on the longer-term prospects for cannabis as its acceptance grows
Amid widespread COVID-19-related retail store closures, many cannabis dispensaries received “essential business” designations. This allowed cannabis consumers to stock up on medicinal and recreational cannabis, fueling strong sales figures despite a tumultuous Q1 2020. Yet, even with strong sales momentum, cannabis stocks broadly suffered during the quarter amid heightened market volatility. Early-stage cannabis companies rely heavily on external capital to fuel their growth ambitions, but investors are stepping back from financing riskier industries in the current environment. Some cannabis companies are now running low on cash, forcing them to sell stakes at undesirable valuations or scale back operations or staffing.
Despite these near-term challenges, we remain optimistic on the longer-term prospects for cannabis as its acceptance grows. New store openings and the sale of edibles are helping to fuel greater legal consumption. In addition, COVID-19’s economic impact is broadly hurting tax revenues at the local, state, and federal level, potentially providing greater impetus to legalize and tax cannabis. With only about 10% of cannabis sales occurring through legal channels, we believe there is substantial opportunity for continued growth across regulated channels.
Is Cannabis A Consumer Staple?
The COVID-19 crisis is plunging the global economy into recession, yet its impact will not be felt equally across industries. During recessions, consumers may forgo discretionary items like jewelry or electronics, but staples such as essential food and beverages tend to see robust sales. Historically, alcohol and tobacco exhibit staples-like characteristics, demonstrating strong sales despite economic weakness. During the global financial crisis, for example, alcohol consumption increased 7.2% in 2008-09 from 2006-07 levels, while total sales in the consumer discretionary sector fell by -9.35% over that time frame.1,2
Legalized cannabis did not exist during the Great Recession, but recent figures suggest cannabis sales share similar characteristics with alcohol and tobacco. Canada and most U.S. states with legalized cannabis industries declared dispensaries as essential services, allowing sales to continue throughout the COVID-19 crisis, enabling robust demand to be met.
Online cannabis purchases in Ontario have surged from 5,000 orders in mid-March to 9,000 orders by mid-April.3
Oregon’s cannabis sales increased 37% year over year in March, its highest single-month increase.4
Between March 16th and March 22nd, year-over-year sales of recreational cannabis across key US markets, including California, Colorado, Oregon and Alaska, were up 50%.5
One of Nevada’s largest cannabis delivery businesses reported a 400% increase in cannabis retail deliveries since March 20th.6
While lockdown may have accelerated cannabis demand, cannabis sales were already on an accelerating path. January and February sales numbers in Canada increased 181% year-over-year to C$154 million and 190% to C$150 million.7 Estimates from Cannabis Benchmarks for March sales show a spike to C$216 million, more than three times March 2019’s sales of C$59 million.8
The shift towards greater cannabis acceptance has spurred much of this growth. Cannabis consumers among the legal adult population in Canada grew to 63% at the end of 2019 from 54% in 2018.9
Canada’s new recreational cannabis market, dubbed Rec 2.0, is also fueling growth. Rec 2.0 officially launched at the end of 2019, almost a year after legalization in Canada. Before Rec 2.0, only dried flower and oil were products sold, but now the sale of cannabis beverages, edibles and vapes, among other forms, is permitted. Derivative formats like these account for almost half of sales in mature and developed markets such as Colorado, showing how Rec 2.0 could play a major role in accelerating cannabis sales in Canada. Aurora Cannabis (ACB), for example, recently mentioned that approximately 20% of total sales could come from Rec 2.0 products.10 OrganiGram Holdings (OGI) also reported new Rec 2.0 products to account for 13% of total revenue in its most recent quarter.11
New Store Openings Grow Legal Cannabis’s Market Share
Curbing illicit cannabis sales is on the agenda for many governments around the world. Globally, legal cannabis sales reached $15 billion at the end of 2019, which is less than 10% of the estimated total market of $160 billion.12 Such low penetration both demonstrates the growth opportunity ahead as well as highlights some of the challenges for the legal market. In Canada, for instance, limited dispensary licenses plays a major factor, as recreational cannabis sales per capita are highly correlated to the number of stores.
In Q1 2020, Canada opened 191 new stores, bringing its total to 806.13 Ontario, Canada’s most populous province, now has 52 stores, versus just 27 at the end of 2019. But the few dozen stores represent just four per 1 million people. For comparison, Colorado has 180 stores for every 1 million people.14 The store comparison between the two countries is notable, as further licenses should help meet consumer demand and promote greater legal sales.
Within the U.S., active dispensary licenses are up 5.5% year-to-date, with 385 new stores opening around the country.15 Yet, given that the US has nine times more dispensary licenses than Canada, more stores is a less critical factor than wider legalization across populous states or at the broader federal level.
Cannabis Industry Leveraging E-commerce To Further Grow Sales
Oftentimes, crises breed both new problems and new solutions. During this social distancing era, Colorado legalized online sales of recreational cannabis, fulfilling a longstanding request from cannabis companies.16 Cannabis consumers can now order, pay online and pick up at-store. A few other states – Massachusetts, Illinois, Michigan and Oregon – already allow cannabis e-commerce.
In Canada, the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) authorized cannabis retail stores to offer e-commerce solutions, starting April 7th.17 E-commerce authorization resulted from an emergency order by the Government of Ontario to deter illegal cannabis sales amid physical distance mandates. For now, the measure is temporary, but it includes the possibility of extension.
Financing Cannabis’s Growth
Early-stage industries tend to rely on the capital markets to fund growth. The phenomenon describes a healthy dynamic between those with capital to invest and those seeking capital for growth. The cannabis industry is particularly dependent on capital, as growing, harvesting, packaging and distribution require property, equipment and employees. With high growth expectations, cannabis companies tend to plow their freshly raised capital into various parts of the ecosystem, leaving little cash available to weather a storm. The constant need for new financing can expose weaker companies that may need to raise capital at undesirable terms, or worse, cannot raise additional capital at all.
HEXO Corp. (HEXO), for example, a leading cannabis grower in Canada, recently closed a C$46 million public offering but was forced to sell its equity 20% below its last traded price.18 Other larger players have followed suit, like Tilray (TLRY), which raised C$90 also at a 20% discount.19
There are companies, however, with strong cash positions that may be able to weather this challenging financing environment better than others. Canopy Growth Corp. (CGC) and Cronos Group (CRON) both have over $1 billion in cash & equivalents on their balance sheets. GW Pharmaceuticals (GWPH) holds over $500 million in cash & equivalents. Balance sheet strength allows these companies to potentially wait longer before needing to raise additional outside capital.
COVID-19 Could Expedite Cannabis Legalization
In our article “Themes for Defensive Positioning,” we highlighted that economic downturns can accelerate efforts to find new sources of economic stimulus and tax revenue. Legalizing (and taxing) recreational cannabis is one such avenue states could pursue given its track record of generating economic growth and taxes. Estimates hold that nationwide legalization in the U.S. could generate $132 billion in aggregate tax revenue and more than a million new jobs across the country by 2025.20 Such growth comes not from an unproven, speculative market, but from the conversion of a largely illicit market to a legal, regulated one. Such taxes and economic growth could be particularly welcome given stalling economic growth and swelling debt caused by COVID-19.
This year, several states could legalize recreational use. Virginia recently decriminalized cannabis, joining 27 other states that have taken such actions.21 The bill doesn’t legalize cannabis sales yet, but Virginia’s Governor is also clearing the path for easier access for medicinal uses.22 In New Jersey, lawmakers voted to add legalization to November’s ballot. Should the bill pass, it could add additional pressure to neighboring New York and Connecticut.
Illinois, where legalized cannabis went into effect in January, is the most recent model other states could follow. Illinois has the second-highest tax regime on cannabis sales in the country, where taxes vary from 10% to 25%.23 In Q1, Illinois cannabis stores sold $110 million, generating at least $11 million in tax revenues. Another benchmark is Colorado, which legalized cannabis in 2014. In Q1 2020, Colorado generated $79 million in tax revenue from cannabis-related sales.24 In 2019 alone, the state collected over $300 million in tax revenue, which was earmarked for cannabis regulation, research and schools.25
With a global recession looming, the economic benefits of legalized cannabis could be too enticing for states, provinces and countries to ignore.
Conclusion
The recent increase in cannabis sales in the U.S. and Canada since COVID-19 reflects the non-cyclical nature of cannabis sales. While some cannabis companies may struggle from lack of access to capital during this volatile period, the stronger ones could continue to see substantial growth as they meet robust consumer demand. Trends in new dispensary openings, a shift to e-commerce, and the introduction of new consumable forms of cannabis should further fuel growth across North America. Longer term, the potential for further legalization efforts amid the COVID-19 crisis should provide a tailwind to the industry.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. The investable universe of companies in which POTX may invest may be limited. The Fund invests in securities of companies engaged in Healthcare and Pharmaceutical sectors. These sectors can be affected by government regulations, expiring patents, rapid product obsolescence, and intense industry competition. International investments may involve risk of capital loss from unfavorable fluctuation in currency values, from differences in generally accepted accounting principles or from social, economic or political instability in other nations. POTX is non-diversified.
POTX’s investments are concentrated in the cannabis industry, and the Fund may be susceptible to loss due to adverse occurrences affecting this industry. The cannabis industry is a very young, fast evolving industry with increased exposure to the risks associated with changes in applicable laws (including increased regulation, other rule changes, and related federal and state enforcement activities), as well as market developments, which may cause businesses to contract or close suddenly and negatively impact the value of securities held by the Fund. Cannabis Companies are subject to various laws and regulations that may differ at the state/local, federal and international level. These laws and regulations may significantly affect a Cannabis Company’s ability to secure financing and traditional banking services, impact the market for cannabis business sales and services, and set limitations on cannabis use, production, transportation, export and storage. The possession, use and importation of marijuana remains illegal under U.S. federal law. Federal law criminalizing the use of marijuana remains enforceable notwithstanding state laws that legalize its use for medicinal and recreational purposes. This conflict creates volatility and risk for all Cannabis Companies, and any stepped-up enforcement of marijuana laws by the federal government could adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments. Given the uncertain nature of the regulation of the cannabis industry in the United States, the Fund’s investment in certain entities could, under unique circumstances, raise issues under one or more of those laws, and any investigation or prosecution related to those investments could result in expense and losses to the Fund.

With time ticking down for CBD manufacturers to meet the UK’s deadline for having a validated EU novel food application in hand, two European hemp associations are pooling resources to meet the application’s requirements.
The assistance on offer from the European Industrial Hemp Association in Germany and the Association for the Cannabinoid Industry in the UK highlights the urgency with which suppliers and processors need to move if they hope to be selling cannabidiol supplements and foodstuffs on the British market early next year.
That’s because the UK’s Food Standards Agency (FSA) set a deadline of March 31, 2021, for industry players to gather data on their CBD products and have their novel food applications validated by EU authorities.
The legality of CBD products in the European Union became murky in January 2019, when EU authorities classified all hemp extracts and hemp-derived products containing CBD and other cannabinoids as “novel foods.â€
The designation means that manufacturers need to have their CBD supplements and edible products evaluated and seek permission from EU authorities to place them on the market.
EIHA
European Industrial Hemp Association members agreed last year to submit a joint novel foods application with “a range of CBD extracts†to UK and EU authorities. The group said in February it was receiving membership applications “on almost a daily basis†from interested parties.
This week, the EIHA confirmed a report that revealed the scope and costs associated with its joint novel foods application. The association told Hemp Industry Daily:
An EIHA task force is in the process of choosing four formulations of CBD to be consolidated into one novel food application. The formulations will be finalized at the EIHA general meeting in June.
The joint application project, organized as a limited liability company, will cost at least €2 million ($2.16 million). The EIHA estimates that the required lab analysis of CBD and THC toxicology studies alone will cost €1.8 million ($1.94 million).
The group plans to launch the toxicology studies in June.
The cost of joining the consortium is estimated at €10,000 to €50,000 ($10,800 to $54,000), depending on the size of the company and when it joins. Regular EIHA members will be asked to pay the consortium cost in two installments, with the first next month.
This one-time cost comes in addition to the cost of a regular EIHA membership, which ranges from €2,500 to €10,000 ($2,700 to $10,800), depending on company revenue.
All companies that join the EIHA are obliged to join the novel foods consortium.
The association declined to say how much of the necessary funding for lab tests and toxicology evaluations has been raised so far.
Lorenza Romanese, managing director at the EIHA, said companies outside the European Union can join its novel foods consortium and would be eligible to sell products on the EU market if the joint application achieves authorization.
ACI
The UK’s Association for the Cannabinoid Industry announced this week a free hotline for CBD manufacturers with questions about the novel food application process.
The group also offers paid consulting services for individual applications.
The ACI’s approach pools resources for the data-generation phase while taking an individualized approach for each company’s application. The effort aims to help companies get the research they need, said Shomi Malik, ACI’s development director.
“The most expensive part of this isn’t writing the dossier, it’s generating the data,†Malik said.
“The best of both worlds is to share the costs of the real heavy lifting but still give companies the freedom to do their own individual applications. That’s what we’re trying to do here.â€
The ACI estimates that the cost for the toxicology study alone – the portion it’s looking to syndicate – will cost around £250,000 ($309,000). A full toxicology assessment takes seven to eight months to complete, ACI said, followed by an extra month to generate the data report.
The group said its application consulting services could cost anywhere from €50,000 to €500,000 ($54,000 to $540,000), depending on the size of the company and the number of finished products requiring novel foods authorization.
Malik applauded the EIHA for its collective application option, which he said might appeal to CBD players who haven’t budgeted the financial resources required for an individual application.
“Now that ‘novel foods’ is a binary proposition – you’re either in or you’re out – companies have had to find budgets from somewhere,†he said. “Their objective is to do this the quickest and cheapest way possible.â€
On the other hand, in the event that a collective novel foods application is authorized, parties to the application run the risk of finding themselves in a “regulatory straitjacket†not to deviate from those formulations. This could hinder industry innovation, Malik said.
“You’re in a much better position if you’ve got your own novel food authorization, than if you have to share and compromise with some aspects on the data sharing,†Malik said.
Clock is ticking
Whichever path companies choose, it’s time to start the process for any products they want to keep on the shelves next year, said Garrett Graff, an attorney at Hoban Law Group who advises companies doing business in Europe and the UK.
“It’s important that folks get started now,†Graff told Hemp Industry Daily.
“This is not a commonplace application that takes a couple hours. This will take considerable amounts of planning, coordination, time and financial resources to complete, and engaging as quickly as possible given the forthcoming deadline is important.â€

Quebec government recently announced that, effective May 11, 2020, it will begin easing its Covid-19 related restrictions on business operations in the province
Subject to the implementation of said easing measures, NORTHBUD intends to commence scaling its Quebec production accordingly
TORONTO, May 06, 2020 — North Bud Farms Inc. (CSE: NBUD) (OTCQB: NOBDF) (“NORTHBUD” or the “Company“) is pleased to provide shareholders with the following corporate update:
Quebec Cultivation Facility
Easing of Covid-19 Restrictions
The Quebec government recently announced that, effective May 11, 2020, it will begin easing its Covid-19 related restrictions on business operations in the province. Subject to the implementation of said easing measures, NORTHBUD intends to commence scaling its Quebec production accordingly, and has advised its suppliers that it will be ready to receive starting materials quickly upon implementation of the easing measures.
Outdoor Cultivation Licence Application Status
With respect to the Company’s previously disclosed intention to apply for an amendment to its existing cultivation licence at its Quebec facility to allow for outdoor cultivation, the Company is pleased to announce that it has submitted to Health Canada all required materials and documentation for the aforementioned licence amendment, and it now awaits the issuance of a licence to allow for a proposed 1 million square feet of outdoor production. “With the underlying fundamentals and low-cost capacity of our Quebec facility, especially with the expected addition of outdoor capacity, we believe this facility has the potential to add value and we continue to explore collaborations with companies who have established distribution channels and who are relying on the volatile wholesale market to fulfill their cultivation needs,†said Ryan Brown, the Company’s Executive Chairman and Interim CEO. “Management is encouraged by the amount of interest being shown for potential collaborations and will update shareholders when there are any material developments on this front.â€
To date the Company has signed a letter of intent to supply product to a licensed distributor, and is actively negotiating additional supply contracts with other parties. Securing these supply agreements is expected to provide the Company with further insight into revenue potential and operating capital required for its Quebec facility. While the Company has initiated operations at its Quebec facility, currently the Company does not have sufficient working capital and financial resources to commercialize the full capacity of its Quebec facility.
Furthermore, in light of current market conditions, the Company is exploring options to extend its cash runway to further operations, including with respect to staffing decisions.
U.S. Operations
The Company also announces that it has signed a non-binding letter of intent to sell all the shares of its U.S. subsidiary, Bonfire Brands USA, Inc. (“BBUSAâ€), to an entity controlled by Mr. Justin Braune, the President of BBUSA. The proposed transaction is expected to close on or before May 15, 2020, and would constitute a related-party transaction as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101â€). The proposed transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as the fair market value of the shares of BBUSA proposed to be sold to the acquiror does not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. This determination is based upon the fact that the value of the net assets of BBUSA is negligible as the assets acquired were, and continue to be, highly leveraged. In light of the current market conditions, it is no longer economically viable for the Company to continue to try to sustain and develop these assets.
Under the terms of the proposed transaction, which remain subject to the negotiation of a definitive share purchase agreement and customary closing conditions and approvals, the acquiring party will become responsible for and guarantee all of BBUSA’s past and future liabilities and capital requirements, including all of the outstanding intercompany debts owed to NORTHBUD. The acquiror will also retain rights to the name “Bonfire Brands†and the Company will no longer proceed with the change of name and symbol that was approved at the last shareholder meeting. Final terms of the proposed transaction will be announced upon the signing of the definitive agreement.
“The structure of this proposed transaction represents the furtherance of the Company’s previously-announced plan to remove its direct exposure to the U.S. cannabis sector in order to eliminate the increasing administrative and capital costs associated with such holdings. Subject to the structuring of the definitive agreement, this proposed transaction would also significantly reduce dilution of shareholders of the Company by eliminating the need to issue additional shares of NORTHBUD related to the U.S. acquisitions,†said Ryan Brown, NORTHBUD’s Executive Chairman and Interim CEO. “We look forward to the successful completion of this deal to divest our U.S. holdings, which will significantly improve the Company’s balance sheet and available cash flow, a key Company objective in light of the difficult economic climate brought on by Covid-19.â€
About North Bud Farms Inc.
NORTHBUD owns and operates, through its subsidiaries, licensed cannabis facilities in Canada, California and Nevada. Bonfire Brands USA, the Company’s U.S. subsidiary, acquired cannabis production facilities in Salinas, California and Reno, Nevada in late 2019.

Israel Researchers Launch Clinical Trials To Test CBD As COVID-19 Treatment Supplement
Israeli researchers have launched three clinical trials that utilize CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties as potential COVID-19 treatment.
Israeli scientists have launched clinical trials into whether cannabis can play an effective role in stopping or slowing the coronavirus
Though lung health experts have warned smoking marijuana could exacerbate COVID-19 and its spread, Israeli scientists will study cannabidiol (CBD) alongside existing treatment options as a possible solution
Israeli scientists have launched clinical trials into whether cannabis can play an effective role in stopping or slowing the coronavirus. Though lung health experts have warned smoking marijuana could exacerbate COVID-19 and its spread, Israeli scientists will study cannabidiol (CBD) alongside existing treatment options as a possible solution.
Last week, InnoCan Pharma announced a collaboration with Tel Aviv University to instill CBD medicine through exosomes — or the small cell structures created when stem cells multiply. The unconventional method will utilize the exosomes as “homing missiles,†as they can uniquely target cell organs damaged by COVID-19. Researchers then believe CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties will repair the damaged cells through a synergistic effect. As COVID-19 attacks the respiratory system, scientists will have patients receive CBD-enriched exosomes through an inhalation device. Previous studies have shown CBD can help regulate the body’s immune system and reduce inflammation throughout the body.
A second clinical trial will occur over the coming weeks and includes 10 Covid-19 patients currently undergoing treatment in Israel’s Rabin Medical Center. Doctors will combine traditional steroids and CBD, with the belief CBD will enhance the therapeutic potential of the steroids. The trial, conducted by Stero Biotechs in collaboration with Mor Research Application, already has plans to expand treatment to 40 additional patients should it prove successful.
“We estimate that our CBD-based treatment can enhance the current treatment of those patients who are in life-threatening conditions,†Stero Biotechs founder and CEO David Bassa said in a statement. “Hospitalized COVID-19 patients are mostly being treated with steroids and our study is planned to demonstrate the benefit of a combined solution with Steroid treatments. We are hopeful that this study will lead to faster benefit for the growing number of COVID-19 patients in Israel and around the world.â€
A third study, launched by Tel Aviv’s Ichilov Medical Center, will investigate whether CBD’s anti-inflammatory properties could lower respiratory symptoms experienced in moderate COVID-19 patients.
Canadian researchers have also announced intentions to study what role cannabis can play in slowing COVID-19. They also believe marijuana’s anti-inflammatory properties could provide a crucial role in potential treatment.

CBD oil is increasingly acclaimed for its benefits. Use as an e-liquid for vaping, but also as a dietary supplement to fight against stress or depression, CBD is everywhere.
Find out what its benefits are, how to consume it, and where to find it.
With some of the best online suppliers in Europe, British users can now easily find and order CBD flowers in UK. It has simplified the way to purchase high-quality CBD online, and we can now enjoy the best CBD oils.
What is CBD oil?
CBD, or cannabidiol, is part of the family of cannabinoids, a group of molecules found in the hemp plant, such as THC or CBD. We all have so-called cannabinoid receptors in our brains, which explains why these compounds have a more or less significant impact on the human nervous system.
CBD oil is extracted from the cannabis plant. It contains mostly cannabidiol, the concentration of which varies depending on the product. Today it is mainly used as an e-liquid for electronic cigarettes, as CBD oil to add in food and drinks, and CBD capsules.
While the hemp plant has been cultivated for over 6.000 years in China, it is only today that CBD oil is becoming more and more popular, as scientists discover many benefits for our organism. Indeed, unlike THC, another cannabinoid, CBD does not have psychotropic properties. For this reason, cannabidiol is also called “therapeutic cannabisâ€!
What are the effects of CBD oil?
Unlike THC, the effects of CBD oil are not harmful to our nervous system. CBD does not cause a feeling of intoxication or euphoria, unlike THC, and therefore no loss of control.
Conversely, it offers a feeling of serenity and a sense of relaxation. CBD is also found in recognized drugs like Cannador, Sativex, or Epidiolex.
To start with, CBD oil can help you fall asleep. If it does not have the effect of a sleeping pill, it will, however, cause your body to relax to promote falling asleep indirectly.
Likewise, CBD oil can help you not only to combat stress but also to regulate your mood. Indeed, CBD acts in particular on receptors linked to anxiety. For this reason, it is reputed to be a powerful anxiolytic and is effective in treating depression.
Note that paradoxically, CBD oil can help you fight against drug addiction since it will promote emotional balance while helping you overcome anxiety and stress, often overwhelming during withdrawal.
Finally, CBD oil can be used as an anti-inflammatory, especially in the case of Crohn’s disease, a chronic inflammatory disease of the digestive system.
How should you use CBD oil?
CBD oil is consumed orally, by placing 1 to 2 drops on your tongue or by adding them to your food or drink. The bottles sold are therefore often equipped with a pipette. After swallowing the CBD oil drops, leave it on for 30 seconds before continuing to eat or keep busy.
Please note, it is essential not to exceed 3 doses per day. If you take too much CBD oil, you risk increasing the relaxing effects and wanting to sleep! The ideal is to start with a low dosage and increase it gradually if you support it.
Also, CBD oil is not recommended for pregnant women.
Is CBD oil legal in the UK?
Cannabis derivatives do not have an outstanding reputation, in particular, because of THC, the compound which has psychotropic effects. European legislation is therefore relatively strict with cannabidiol. For example, any product containing THC is prohibited if the THC level exceeds 0.2 %.
However, products from Cannabis sativa seeds and stems are not prohibited in the UK, which explains why most of the CBD oils currently on sale come from them. Despite everything, CBD oil remains banned for minors. No law has been enacted regarding CBD oil, but case law prevails until European law issues an opinion on the subject, not always in a pleasant manner!
Where to buy CBD oil?
CBD-based products are very numerous: crystals (the purest form) for culinary preparations or other uses of this type, oil, e-liquid for electronic cigarettes, CBD flowers, CBD resins, etc. You will, therefore, have no harm to find CBD for your consumption.
On the Internet, you will mainly find CBD oil, as on the online store. You will find a whole lot of websites that are claiming to sell the best CBD products. However, you should only buy the best quality of CBD flowers and CBD oils.
Check websites such as Justbob.shop to find the right CBD products. As a leading company in Europe, this supplier from Italy is offering natural CBD flowers and great CBD oils. Also, they are following a set of many quality controls, and they are recognized by the Italian authorities, which means that they are well-known and that they are complying with local and European laws.
