Sometimes when it comes to social media, a tweet is just a tweet. But sometimes the volume can escalate quickly, and that's just what happened when I shared a photo of a banner indicating a CBD cannabis oil store was set to open in the building that was home to the beloved Collected Thread shop.

It wasn't exactly what I expected when I had been told the building would remain retail oriented, especially with the sort of business we've seen open up everywhere in the metro, from suburban Edmond to upscale Nichols Hills to the urban core of Oklahoma City.

My questions had nothing to do with the debate over medical marijuana, but some folks took it that way. Other readers, including area residents, questioned whether the CBD store would detract from the quirky, artsy mix of shops, restaurants and performing arts venues that line NW 16 between Classen Boulevard and Pennsylvania Avenue.

Add store owner Todd Collins to the list of those who are unsure about what's really going on with the influx of CBD signs popping up all over the metro. Some, he says, are being operated as head shops while others are opening up as a pretense to selling medical marijuana when recently passed State Question 788 goes into effect.
