Ohio part of CBD trend

Ohio opened its doors to cannabidiol (CBD) in 2016 to allow Ohioans to treat specific conditions with doctor-recommended medical marijuana. Residents can purchase CBD hemp oil in retail locations or online, shipping to an Ohio address.

Kate Richards indicated in the March 4 issue of ADWEEK that marketers are evaluating or already offering CBD products:

• Coca-Cola is talking with a Canadian company.

• Starbucks might be first with beverages.

• By Chloe offers baked goods.

• Milk Makeup sells beauty products.

• The James Hotel has foods on its menu.

• DSW will carry Seventh Sense lotions.

Ohio is now a CBD state.
