So, what is CBD?
According to a 2018 study published by Harvard Medical School, CBD is the second most prevalent active ingredient found in cannabis plants and does not cause a high.
In 2017, the World Health Organization said CBD has shown to be an effective treatment for epilepsy and there is preliminary evidence that shows it could help with other medical conditions.
CBD may be an option for managing anxiety, insomnia and chronic pain, according to Harvard Medical School.
Talk to your doctor before using CBD because it could have adverse effects when used with other medications.
Sheetz officials said all of their CBD products will be kept behind the counter, as customers must be at least 18 to purchase them and must show proper identification.
