With the increasing popularity of CBD products, more people started showing high interest in the therapeutic potential CBD contains.

Have trouble falling asleep at night? 

You’re not alone – between 50 and 70 million US adults suffer from a sleep disorder or have trouble sleeping at night due to chronic pain.

Are you in pain? Here. Grab an Advil. Take it! Take it! Your pain will go away soon. And then thank you, Advil!

But really?

California just made a big move for marijuana legalization.

Long considered ahead of the curve on cannabis trends, the state was a bit behind on the recreational weed front. 

That all of course changed this year when recreational cannabis sales became legal in California on January 1st.

Recreational sales are in full swing in the Golden State, and earlier this week Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) announced it will now allow passengers to travel through the airport with up to one-ounce of marijuana. 

Yeah — you heard that right: You can fly out of Los Angeles and take your beloved sour diesel or blueberry haze with you.

CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a remedy that’s gaining popularity for its wide variety of potential health benefits, including stress relief. 

College years are considered to be the greatest years in a young adult’s life. The freedom that comes with living on your own, coupled with a multicultural environment surrounded by diverse individuals is the perfect recipe for growth and development.

In June 2018, the FDA announced the approval of Epidiolex, a CBD-based drug, as a Schedule Class V substance under the Controlled Substance Act. Its adaptation came three months after it has been approved as a treatment of seizures associated with Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome, two rare and extremely serious forms of epilepsy1. 

GW Pharmaceuticals CEO, Justin Gover said, “We are pleased that the DEA has placed Epidiolex in the lowest restriction Schedule, because it will help ensure that patients with LGS and Dravet syndrome, two of the most debilitating forms of epilepsy, can access this important new treatment option through their physicians. With this final step in the regulatory process completed, we are working hard to make Epidiolex available within the next six weeks as we know there is excitement for a standardized version of cannabidiol that has undergone the rigor of controlled clinical trials and been approved by the FDA2“.

I heard somewhere that people are more afraid of public speaking than they are of dying.

This never made sense to me because I always liked public speaking. I am scared of plenty of things but public speaking isn’t one of them. 

Giving a speech, especially on a topic I am passionate about, really charges me up.

I realize I am an exception. Most people do not like public speaking.

And like it or not, you will have to give a speech at some point be it for a college class, a presentation at work, or your best friend’s wedding.

Understanding the Difference Between CBD Vape Oil and CBD Tinctures

For the past couple of years, the world has witnessed the rise of an extraordinary trend: CBD. The onset of this new trend was a little tricky as it took people some time to understand that while CBD is extracted from the cannabis plant, it is not the same as the substance that makes you addicted and high!

Cannabis extracts have been used topically to relieve pain and treat skin rashes in India and Latin America for hundreds of years.

CBD skin products come in ointments, salves, and lotions. 

Have you ever searched for CBD oil on Amazon? Well, we definitely did.

When you launch a search, hundreds of products show up in the results; but, they’re generally labeled as “hemp oil extract” or “hemp oil” instead of “CBD oil.”

CBD topicals are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to use CBD.

Not only do CBD topicals act quickly and provide targeted relief from conditions like chronic pain and inflammation, but they’re also excellent for a variety of different skin conditions.

Are you looking for different ways to vape natural e-juice at home, without any nicotine? 

For the past centuries, nicotine has been exposed as a harmful, and even toxic, chemical found in all smoking products that can increase your risk for respiratory diseases, cancers, heart problems and many others. Nicotine is also linked to higher risks for stroke. Harvard links it to brain aneurysms1.

Of the various ways to consume CBD oil, suppositories are probably the least popular method despite the fact that these suppositories can be a beneficial method of delivery with a fast mode of action. 

Until recently, CBD suppositories were virtually unheard of. With the growing medical cannabis industry, more clinical and anecdotal evidence regarding the benefits of cannabidiol (CBD) and its multiple forms of administration started appearing. CBD suppository, not surprisingly, remained at the bottom of the list.

CBD oil suppositories are gaining notoriety as a highly efficient delivery system, whether inserted vaginally or rectally.
