The
message from the state last month was clear: Anyone selling CBD oil in Ohio now
is breaking the law.
The message from some CBD sellers also was clear: Try and
stop us.
Under Ohio's new medical marijuana program, only
state-licensed dispensaries - which aren't open yet - can sell products made
with CBD, or cannabidiol, the state declared. Cannabidiol is one of hundreds of
active ingredients in cannabis plants. CBD oils and other products have become
wildly popular variants of medical marijuana.
Last year, CBD sales in the United States reached $820 million and are expected to grow to $2.1 billion by 2020, according to a report by market intelligence firm, Hemp Business Journal.
