The announcement was initially revealed by the firm to NBC News, where the former not only shared what will be in store, but also other measures that will be taken to protect consumers.

According to CVS Health spokesperson, Mike DeAngelis, said endeavor will only take place in a select number of CVS stores located in California and seven other states. That said, there also will be a restriction as to what types of delivery methods are offered. As previously mentioned, topicals seem to be desired, with none placed on edibles.

The CEO of CVS, Larry Merlo was referenced discussing the team’s curiosity in CBD-related goods, especially in the cases where, “it’s helped with pain relief for arthritis and other ailments.”

While Merlo shared that the team will take a cautious “walk” down the CBD-related journey, the fact that consumers’ are now seeking said solutions as part of their health regimen is without doubt the driving force for the firm.
