VANCOUVER — Retailers across Canada are struggling with a shortage of all cannabis, but there's one product they're especially desperate to keep on shelves: cannabidiol or CBD, a non-intoxicating extract vaunted for its purported health benefits. "I don't think the licensed producers really realized how popular CBD was, so there's none available, really," said Krystian Wetulani, founder of City Cannabis Co. in Vancouver. "There has been a significant learning curve for licensed producers as they transition into supplying a new market," said B.C. "Licensed producers are working towards becoming more efficient, however many of their expansion projects have not yet been fully ramped up." Customers looking for CBD products would prefer not to smoke them and don't want the added THC, said Darrell Smith, spokesman for the Newfoundland and Labrador Liquor Corp.
