Several green lights bathe the exterior of the store at night.

The shop will open from 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. this Saturday and have those hours moving forward.

The Smoking Pot Coffee Shop is located at 8510 Longpoint Road, Houston, TX 77055.

CBD is derived from the hemp plant, which is related to the marijuana plant. CBD does not itself cause a "high," according to the World Health Organization.

A few years ago, CBD became legal under the Compassionate Care Act, which allowed its use in children with severe epilepsy.

The Food and Drug Administration only backs the claims that CBD may help with some types of epilepsy. All other health claims are under investigation.

Another CBD coffee shop is expected to open in east downtown Houston in the summer, according to Houston Eater.

An Army veteran opened CBD MED in Baytown in March.
