CBD is is already pretty ubiquitous here, even before this new change (it's been legal for a while.) However, they don't seem to do gummies here. I don't think it's a legal thing, they just aren't into it I guess (I'm not 100% sure though). But you can get CBD tea, tinctures, and other products pretty easily.
