ARLINGTON, MA — A shop selling CBD products has opened in a long-vacant space on Mass. Ave. The appropriately named Your CBD Store sells cannabidiol, an active ingredient in cannabis. CBD can be used to address anxiety, insomnia, chronic pain and other health issues.

Though it is derived from the hemp plant, CBD itself does not cause a "high," according to Harvard Medical School.

Your CBD store recently opened at 460 Mass. Ave., which has been empty since 2013, YourArlington reported.
