Why You Should Use CBD to Meet Your Wellness Goals

By: Joseph Bitzer · Published On: June 10, 2019 · Last Updated: March 5, 2022

You’ve probably seen an explosion of CBD products in local stores, across your social media feeds, and in e-mail advertisements recently. With the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, industrial hemp has been legalized and derivative products, like CBD, are enjoying a wellspring of interest. Proponents of cannabis have long touted its health and wellness benefits, but the psychoactive effects and legal ramifications of marijuana have kept many people at bay. Industrial hemp, however, lets people explore the active ingredients in cannabis without the risks inherent in marijuana.

What’s the Difference?

While hemp has been used in the past as interchangeable with both CBD and marijuana, the terms each have distinct meanings. In the simplest terms, under federal law, industrial hemp is cannabis plant with a THC concentration of 0.3% by weight or less. That means it won’t get you high, and it’s officially differentiated from the still federally scheduled marijuana. What industrial hemp does offer, however, is a plentiful supply of cannabidiol (CBD) and other active cannabinoids that could offer huge benefits for users’ health, even to those users who have tried marijuana and found it wasn’t for them.  

Does It Work?

While the FDA has yet to approve CBD products in the concentrations available over the counter to treat, prevent, or cure an illness, disease, or condition, plenty of doctors and satisfied patients would disagree. In fact, it is often through independent research that people find out about the full benefits available from using CBD and decide it is the right answer for them. Whether via anecdotal reports on social media or through organized courses meant to empower them, they’re deciding to explore the use of CBD for a variety of reasons.

It’s Natural

Hemp has been used for millennia as a medicinal plant. It grows easily and requires little to no refinement to offer endocannabinoid support to its users. While the high-quality CBD oil found in premium hemp products has been processed to create a reliable, consistent concentration, that’s a far cry from the dangerous, potentially addictive chemicals found in modern pharmaceuticals. This often comes with the additional benefits of thorough lab testing to ensure these products are safe, pure, potent, and free of contaminants or psychoactive substances like THC.

Self-Directed Therapy

The high cost of pharmaceuticals is also matched by the frequent high medical bills prevalent in western medicine. CBD, on the other hand, can be used how and when you want. Its usage is at your discretion, and you can use more or less when you need to. By empowering people to make their own health choices, they’re able to live happier, healthier lives through the use of CBD.

It’s Readily Available

Interest in hemp-powered health is driving a booming industry. While hemp is found in everything from grocery stores to corner stores, online shops can offer an array of CBD products tailored to suit a variety of uses with many different delivery methods and strengths. By offering a diverse selection of goods, it ensures that people can get just what they need to thrive with CBD’s help.

Are You Ready to Meet Your Health and Wellness Goals?

You’ve already taken the first step in your research by learning more about CBD. Approach CBD with an honest evaluation of your needs and an open mind, and you can finally find the health and wellness assistance you’ve been looking for.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
