Sheetz officials announced Thursday the launch of CBD products at 140 store locations across the state.
“We are excited to be the first convenience store to offer a broad selection of premium CBD products at this magnitude,” said Ryan Sheetz, assistant vice president of brand at Sheetz. “This is the next evolution for Sheetz in ensuring we are meeting the needs of our customers, giving them what they want, when they want it, 24/7/365.”

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.
