Why Retailer Standard Dose Closed Its Store

Standard Dose, a pioneering CBD retailer, ultimately closed down its online operations due to a combination of regulatory challenges and financial pressures. The company, which had already closed its physical store in New York City during the pandemic in 2020, shifted to an exclusively online model. Despite this pivot, Standard Dose faced difficulties with state-by-state regulatory variations on CBD-centric e-commerce and online advertising, as well as the high costs and challenges associated with payment processors.
