CBD products are everywhere in Texas since the state legalized hemp. Experts warn: buyer beware. Much of the sudden spike in popularity is thanks to a Texas law last year that legalized hemp, the plant from which CBD is derived. In 2017, business was slow for Sarah Kerver. She was a sales rep for a Colorado-based company trying to push hemp and Global Health Farms CBD Gummies products in Texas. But customers were apprehensive. No one wanted to talk about it. No one was interested in carrying this product in any sort of spa or retail space," Kerver said. Today, the market for CBD, or cannabidiol, is exploding. Stores are popping up across the state selling tinctures and topicals. It’s being mixed into smoothies and coffee at cafes. Spas are advertising CBD massages and therapies. And much of the sudden spike in popularity is thanks to a Texas law last year that legalized hemp, the plant from which CBD is derived. "You go anywhere now, and you find something that says ‘CBD’ on it," said Kerver, who’s now in talks with Austin distributors interested in carrying her CBD product line, called 1937 Apothecary.
