Liverpool’s White Wolf Yoga and Kitchen in the city centre has revealed that it is selling cannabis shakes, cakes and juices.

The Cook Street venue has been open for almost two years and alongside being a yoga studio with a programme of meditation and relaxation classes it also has a health food cafe.

Louise Fitzsimmons, owner White Wolf Yoga , said: “We launched ‘go green’ in White Wolf which means that we go the extra mile to ensure that everything we do is as considerate of the environment as possible.

“Our menu features a lot of vegan dishes and shakes, cakes and juices that are fused with organic cannabis oil.

“We are part of the Cannabis Trade Association, so everything we do is completely legal and above board.”

Customers can try various treats on the menu including shakes which contain hemp milk and cakes fused with CBD oil and hemp seed.

The news of the café selling the products just weeks after the Cannabis Trades Association revealed that sales of cannabis oil has doubles in the past year.

Consumers have surged from 125,000 to 250,000 in the past 12 months as more people turn to the product to cure them of back pain, anxiety and epilepsy, among other health conditions.

Holland & Barrett became the first high street store to sell cannabis oil and the store revealed that due to the success in sales they will be adding more cannabis oil products to their shelves.

Holland & Barrett said: ‘We have been surprised at the success and popularity of CBD oil since its launch.

“We are constantly looking to bring new and innovative ­products to market that help our customers.

“It is great to see in this instance that we can help with the demand.”

What is CBD oil? CBD (cannabidiol) is an active substance found in hemp oil which is taken from the leaves and flowers of hemp. It is legal as it has less than 0.2% of the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol in it. The White Wolf Yoga website reads: "It’s 100% safe and legal in the UK. "Our CBD oil comes from hemp flowers grown legally on farms in the European Union without the use of any pesticides, herbicides, artificial fertilisers or harmful chemicals. "When used as a food supplement it can help boost health and wellbeing."
