  1. I’m the business owner of JustCBD Store company (justcbdstore.com) and I am currently seeking to expand my wholesale side of company. I am hoping anybody at targetdomain give me some advice ! I considered that the most suitable way to do this would be to talk to vape shops and cbd stores. I was really hoping if anyone could suggest a trusted web site where I can get CBD Shops B2B Sales Leads I am already considering creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. On the fence which one would be the best option and would appreciate any advice on this. Or would it be much simpler for me to scrape my own leads? Suggestions?
