Businesses in Hong Kong dumped CBD products ahead of a new law criminalizing possession of the cannabis derivative, ranking it alongside heroin and cocaine WSJWhatsNow
HONG KONG—Businesses and residents are dumping their CBD products ahead of a new law starting Wednesday that criminalizes possession of the cannabis derivative, ranking it alongside heroin and cocaine.
Products like oils, drinks and gummies infused with CBD, or cannabidiol, have been disappearing from store shelves in recent weeks. Authorities placed disposal boxes around the city for users to offload CBD-laced items. Business owners are slashing prices on remaining stock, throwing fire-sale parties and converting storefronts as they shift into new lines of business before the law takes effect.
