Walgreens will join rival CVS in offering CBD products in nearly 1,500 stores in nine states, including Indiana.
CNBC reports the pharmacy will sell CBD creams, patches and sprays in select stores in Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oregon, Colorado, New Mexico, Vermont and South Carolina. CVS announced last week they would sell the products in stores in eight states.
“This product offering is in line with our efforts to provide a wider range of accessible health and wellbeing products and services to best meet the needs and preferences of our customers,” Walgreens spokesman Brian Faith said in an email to CNBC.
While CBD derived from hemp is legal, the FDA still forbids companies from adding CBD to food or selling it as a dietary supplement, CNBC reported.
It was not clear when Walgreens would begin selling the products, though CVS started selling CBD products in 800 stores last week.
