Holland & Barrett has added Love Hemp Water to its UK range.

It’s a spring water infused with cannabidiol oil, which is a chemical produced by the cannabis plant.

The drink is made by pressing hemp leaves and flowers and “does not appear” any psychoactive effects.

Customers can buy the new product from Monday in 500ml and 1.5 litre bottles.

The news comes a few months after the chain launched a range of medicinal cannabis oil in its stores.

It had come amid the revelation by Cannabis Trades Association UK that the number of people using CBD oil in Britain has spiked from 125,000 to 250,000 in the past year.

Just last month, online supermarket Occado announced it would also be stocking the water.

And in May, Lidl in Switzerland became the first store to start selling locally grown cannabis.

Tony Calamita, co-founder of Love Hemp Water, said: "It’s great to see mainstream retailers such as Holland & Barrett starting to stock CBD products.

**Cannabis oil could be made legal... here’s the highlights**

"There’s a growing understanding of the wide ranging benefits of cannabis oil to health and well-being which is why we have launched the first every day hemp water product.

"Each 500ml bottle of Love Hemp is sugar free and contains 2mg of natural hemp extract.

"It tastes great and is naturally hydrating. We’re proud to be starting a hemp water revolution."

Cannabis oil has been subject to extensive scientific studies, most recently by the World Health Organisation, where it was found to offer a wide variety of health benefits.

Celebrity fans of CBD oil include the actress Jennifer Aniston who uses it to help her deal "with pain, stress and anxiety".

Holland & Barrett is charging £1.29 for 500ml bottles, while an 8-pack of 1.5L costs £11.99.

The news comes a few days after the UK moved a step closer to legalising medicinal marijuana, following the tragic case of Billy Caldwell.

This is where it's legal to smoke cannabis around the world now.
