As demand for the product surges the high street retailer is the first to stock cannabis oil products
The number of people buying cannabidiol in the UK has doubled in the past year.
According to the Cannabis Trades Association UK consumers have surged from 125,000 to 250,000 in the past 12 months.
More and more consumers are relying on the controversial product to cure them of back pain, anxiety and epilepsy, among other health conditions.
As demand for the supplement has grown, Holland & Barrett has become the first high street retail store to sell the product.
The sale of Jacob Hooy’s CBD+oil product (£19.99) has been so popular that sales have went up 37% since hitting Holland & Barrett shelves.
The high street store has revealed that due to the success in sales of the oil they will be adding four more cannabis oil products next month, the Mirror reports.

Holland & Barrett said: ‘We have been surprised at the success and popularity of CBD oil since its launch.
“We are constantly looking to bring new and innovative products to market that help our customers.
“It is great to see in this instance that we can help with the demand.”
CBD (cannabidiol) is an active substance found in hemp oil which is taken from the leaves and flowers of hemp.
It is legal as it has less than 0.2% of the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol in it.
Holland & Barrett suggest that users put a few drops under the tongue 2-3 times a day, maximum 15 drops per day.
It has a very ‘distinctive’ taste, so customers are told to have a small drink of water afterwards to get rid of the taste.
Reviews of the product range from five star reviews which read: “Excellent for many many ailments, can't rate it highly enough. Liquid gold.” to one star reviews which read: “I have been using for a few weeks. Not sure if I feel any benefit from using this product.”
