Where can you buy CBD? These days, a better question might be, "where can't you buy CBD?" It seems that just about every pharmacy has started to carry it. You'll see bottles for sale at health food stores and even on the end caps of grocery store aisles. On one hand, it's nice that CBD is so readily available, but on the other hand, you really are still better off shopping for your CBD at an actual physical CBD product store. Here are the benefits of this approach.

You'll Get Access to the Newest, Most Innovative Products.

Grocery stores and pharmacies tend to only stock a few different CBD products — the ones they know will sell well. They don't typically stock the newest, most innovative, or niche CBD products because they would not be able to sell enough of these to make a good profit. Plus, they may not have access to the smaller companies that make these products. CBD stores, on the other hand, tend to put a lot of time and money into sourcing these more niche CBD products. They can afford to stock a unique gummy that only a few people per month will buy, for instance. If you like trying new and innovative CBD products, or if you are hopeful that a niche product will give you the benefits you're after, then visiting a CBD store is a smart move.

You Can See Lab Reports on Each Product.

There is a lot to know about each CBD product. You want to know exactly what percentage of CBD it contains, along with the percentage of trace THC, which terpenes are present, and the date the substance was analyzed. All of this information can't fit on the bottle! CBD stores tend to keep the full lab reports of the products they sell. They're kept behind the counter or in a file system, and you can ask to see them if you want to know more about the CBD products you're considering buying. Your average grocery store does not hold onto this lab information. You can only know what's on the bottle, which isn't much.

You Can Talk to a Knowledgeable Professional Before Making a Purchase.

There is so much to learn and know about CBD! Even if you've been using it for a while, you probably have some questions. The average grocery store worker won't be able to answer those questions in any useful way. But someone running a CBD store — a person whose whole career centers around CBD — should be able to tell you all you want to know and more!

A CBD store remains your best choice for CBD products. Even if you pick up a bottle of CBD here and there at the grocery store, making periodic visits to an actual CBD store is a smart choice.
