Cannabis light: the boom of online shops in Italy

In 2020, cannabis light shops have registered a real record of sales and in early 2021 are continuing with the same trend. The great success of online shops selling legal cannabis in recent months is also and above all due to the current situation. The Covid-19 pandemic has forced many stores to go online and even today there are regions where you can not buy products in a physical store.

2020 was a tough year for all retailers, but not for those who chose to invest in e-commerce. In fact, the Covid-19 pandemic and the consequent restrictions imposed by the government have led to a real boom in online sales, in all sectors and not only in the most popular ones. Just think of the huge success of the cannabis light shops, which in 2020 registered record sales and in early 2021 are continuing with the same trend.

On one hand, this success is due to increasing use in Italy of legal cannabis products, used to counteract the anxiety caused by the pandemic and the substantial uncertainty that has reigned in recent months. However, if physical stores have been penalized like all other activities, e-commerce has, on the contrary, benefited enormously from the situation. Many people have chosen to buy light cannabis online, either for the convenience of the service or because they are physically unable to leave their homes.

Is it safe to buy light cannabis online?

It must be pointed out that nowadays there are many portals that sell light cannabis and CBD products online and not all of them can be considered reliable and serious. For this reason, it is always advisable to pay some attention, opting only for the most famous e-commerce like TheWeedZard, which today represents a guarantee. Beyond the certifications and authorizations to sell such products, it is important that the online shop is able to guarantee legal quality cannabis, with a high content of CBD and possibly organic.

Why it is worth buying light cannabis online

As mentioned, the great success of online shops selling legal cannabis in recent months is also and above all due to the current situation. The Covid-19 pandemic has forced many stores to open hiccups and even today there are regions where you can not buy products in a physical store.

However, it must be pointed out that the best e-commerce portals in this area already existed for a few years and still worked very well. On the other hand, it is undeniable: buying light cannabis online is advantageous for several reasons. First of all, there is a greater variety of inflorescences but also of products such as pure CBD oil, herbal teas, liquids to be vaped with an electronic cigarette. In addition to that, online prices are much more convenient if compared to those of a physical store and not because the quality is lower but because the management costs are much less onerous for an e-commerce.

Many people prefer to buy light cannabis online because there is still a certain amount of misinformation about these products, which are 100% legal. People prefer to place an order on the internet rather than going to the store in person, perhaps being recognized by someone. Finally, the convenience of the online shop is undeniable: you can order in a few minutes and receive everything directly at home.
