MADISON, Wis - Cannabidiol or CBD, one of the chemical compounds found in marijuana and hemp plants, is for sale as an oil at multiple shops in the Madison area.
But there is still confusion as to what makes it legally available to people in Wisconsin.
Community Pharmacy and Apple Wellness employees said over the last six months, they have seen a big jump in customers looking for CBD oil.
"Several people will come in to use it for pain, anxiety, some people will use it for seizures, PTSD. There are many other things, so people are coming in looking to find some relief," said Jennifer Helmer at Community Wellness Shop in Middleton, a satellite of Community Pharmacy.
A state law passed in April 2017 made it legal to possess medical CBD oil with a certification from a doctor. It did not allow the sale of medical CBD oil.
