There have been calls for the laws on the selling of Cannabidiol (CBD) products to be tightened up in Guernsey.
Currently, there is a gap in the law that allows CBD products to be sold to under-18s in both Guernsey and Jersey. However, stores have in-house policies and age restrictions which have prevented young people from buying CBD products.
Rebecca Tucker, managing director of Bailiwick Botanicals in Guernsey, which sells CBD, said "It would be ideal for HSC (the Committee for Health and Social Care) to take this as a priority to fix that gap."
Ms Tucker said there was "absolutely" a problem with under-18s trying to buy products in her shop. "If we didn't self-regulate ourselves, we could certainly gain revenue on that matter alone and kids would love it which is the problem," she said.
She added "It is very concerning", and "It's scary because they don't always think about the safety measures when using these types of products in moderation and responsibly, they don't know any better, they're kids".
