It’s great that major select shops are carrying it properly~
If it spreads in the self-care category without any weird hype, as someone on the inside, it really brings a huge sigh of relief

It’s great how select shops can talk to customers and make sales.
For a drug store like ours, there are just too many things we can’t write on in-store POP displays, and we completely hit a wall on the sales floor. I can only foresee a future where customers ask, “What is this good for?” at the register, part-time staff get stuck, and complaints get funneled to the customer service department.
It’s a classic sales rep move: they bring in a product saying, “It’s the trending ingredient!,” but leave it entirely up to the frontline staff to figure out how to explain it. I honestly envy places where customers can try things out at experiential events and buy them with full confidence.
The idea that select-type shops are safe is just an illusion. The moment they hint at relieving stiffness or fatigue using names like „release“ or through the vibe of their customer service, they’re basically a dark shade of gray. Even if the sales floor looks trendy, their handling of the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act is no different from a drugstore.
Just having it stocked in a place like Ron Herman clears away any sketchy image, so I’m genuinely happy. It really helps that it’ll be easier to buy normally~
That sounds like a classic case of strong initial sales that don’t repeat, leading to the product getting dropped from shelves within six months.
If you keep it at boutique prices, people might buy it once for the style and never return. Unless it establishes itself as an everyday consumable, the market isn’t going to grow, and for retailers, chasing items that won’t become permanent staples is the biggest headache of all.
Just walking around holding that paper bag makes me feel like I’ve got my life half together, so as long as I can buy it once just for the aesthetic, I’d be totally satisfied!? Lol
I totally get it! Those shopping bags are so cute 
If it’s something from that place, I can proudly pick it out as a gift for a friend, and I’m so glad I can hand it over with complete peace of mind!
It’s great that people discover us through gifts, but when it comes to everyday repeat purchases, the hurdle suddenly gets so much higher, right?
That’s honestly our biggest pain point too, so I’m really curious to see how it becomes a fixture.

Giving CBD as a gift just because you bought it at a famous shop is pretty risky. There are still plenty of people and workplaces that get defensive just at the mention of cannabis, and giving it as a present without knowing how the recipient views regulations is way too risky.
Yeah, but if it’s at a proper store where the staff can explain things to you, I think it’s a great opportunity to show people that it’s nothing shady.
I think it is quite questionable just how far apparel store clerks can go in answering while complying with the Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Act (Yakkiho).
In the flow of customer service, casually hinting things verbally like “it helps you relax,” only for customers to storm into the consumer consultation office later complaining that “it doesn’t work at all,” is the most troublesome kind of complaint. I really just want them to stop embellishing things verbally to make a sale when they aren’t allowed to write it on POP displays.
