        Hi,

        Google released a core update in March.

        Your site is about CBD oils and vapours, it could be that you have been hit due to YMYL (Your Money Your Life).

        I dont currently work on any CBD sites, but feel it would make sense that Google considers them to be medical.

        I would suggest taking a look at your EAT(Experitse, Authority, Trust) and finding ways you can start to increase these attributes on your site. Such as citing medial research that reflects any claims you have on your website about your product. Also building the authority of the site again by showing your expertise so any medical qualifications you can show that backs up what you site says your product does.

        Here is a couple of links regarding the March update

        https://blog.searchmetrics.com/us/google-core-algorithm-update-march-2019/

        https://www.searchenginejournal.com/google-update-rollback/298647/#close

        And here are some on YMYL and EAT

        I hope this helps.

        Steve
