Small shops have sprung up all over Hong Kong selling cannabidiol, the part of the cannabis plant that makes you feel chill, but without the part that gives you hallucinations or makes you feel paranoid. Nury Vittachi and Siobhan Lam tried it out for Friday magazine.
The product is spreading and can now be found far and wide, even in posh shopping malls like the IFC in Central. There are special varieties for cats and dogs, and you can even go to a CBD coffee shop in Sai Ying Pun.
In this video, we visited Head Clinic, a tiny shop in Fortress Hill.
