  1. I’m the business owner of JustCBD brand (justcbdstore.com) and I am currently seeking to develop my wholesale side of business. I am hoping someone at targetdomain is able to provide some guidance ! I thought that the most effective way to do this would be to connect to vape stores and cbd retailers. I was really hoping if anybody at all could recommend a trusted website where I can buy CBD Shops B2B Data List I am currently considering creativebeartech.com, theeliquidboutique.co.uk and wowitloveithaveit.com. Not sure which one would be the most suitable choice and would appreciate any advice on this. Or would it be easier for me to scrape my own leads? Suggestions?
