Preview: Shop Sells Pot, Minus the High

He and his brother Grigor (Greg) opened their boutique Topikal Everything Hemp Store in Tarzana in 2016, becoming the first brick-and-mortar retailer in California to sell only products containing CBD. “A lot of people are skeptical about this stuff because they relate it to that psychoactive high, but you really have to try it to believe it yourself,” Greg Avetisyan said.
