CBD and Anxiety

   Bills, work, chores, interactions, struggle, and strife. The backbone of life, and the necessities of achievement. Lifes daily battles for some can be tolerable but for others may cause crippling stress. This is especially common when accompanied with chronic pain/illness, social/emotional conflict, and/or other past/present trauma. Most Americans today have a high amount of responsibilities to juggle. A survey by the American Psychological Association, conducted in 2014, consisting of 3,068 adults, found that the leading cause of stress is money and that 3 in 4 adults experienced stress over finances. Other popular causes of stress in Americans include work, family responsibilities, and health concerns. Types of Stress:  Stress is normal, and everyone deals with being stressed out from time to time. It can be beneficial to stress and worry when necessary, in order to avoid unpleasant or dangerous situations, but overwhelming stress can make even commonly happy

CBD & Mental Health Disorders

   If you or a loved one have been diagnosed with a mental health disorder, you know that it can be a difficult situation in a variety of ways. Society's perception of mental disorders is shrouded in misunderstanding. Hollywood horror movies commonly label their villains with disorders like schizophrenia, and it’s not uncommon for news media outlets to immediately call a suspect’s mental health into question in the event of a crime. The stigma surrounding mental illness is not only deeply ingrained in our society, but it is continually reinforced. This causes many people to believe that anyone living with a mental illness is dangerous and incapable of living a happy and fulfilling life.    There are certainly challenges that people with mental illnesses face that most people won’t encounter. With a team of supportive doctors, family members, and friends, mental health disorders don’t have to restrain the possibilities of living a long and prosperous life. There are plenty of

Food Pairing with CBD Rich Hemp

Pairing beneficial properties, not just flavors.  Food doesn’t just affect the fullness of our bellies, but also strongly contributes to our overall health and well being- hence the old saying, you are what you eat. Food will attribute to everything from the energy you have to complete daily tasks, to your mental and physical health. When using cannabis-based products, the food you consume can also have an effect on the cannabinoids in your system.  Pairing CBD rich hemp with foods , herbs, and spices can be a natural way to enhance the effectiveness of cannabinoids.

Cannabis is, after all, just another helpful vegeta

Tattooing and CBD

The buzz. The ink. Then the needles. If you are a proud owner of skin that has been inked, you know the process. Cleaning, shaving, stenciling, all leading up to the first initial prick of the needle that penetrates your skin. Then, countless additional pricks all over your body, only to go home and tend to your bloody, peeling work of art. Tattoos are a beautiful way to express ourselves and celebrate our individuality. The commitment to the altered pigment on your body can mean much more than just changing your aesthetic appeal. But there is no denying how much it hurts to earn those marks. With a good tattoo artist, the “deep tissue massage” is worth it all in the end, but it’s only human nature to question the choices that have led you to endure raw pain for hours on end. You’ve probably also thought about ways to make the experience and/or healing process less miserable. The thought of using alcohol to dull your nerves and pain from the tattoo might have tempted you,

All About Vaping CBD

An alternative to cigarettes. Are you trying to quit smoking cigarettes? Well, you're not alone. Over 40 million American adults are addicted to cigarettes, and over 480,000 deaths a year can be blamed on smoking cigarettes alone. Cigarettes are known to be hazardous to health due to their content of nicotine, tar, and other harmful chemicals. Nicotine is a highly addictive substance that can cause some people to feel more focused and boost mood, but unfortunately, the withdrawals from nicotine can be extremely unpleasant. Common withdrawal symptoms include anxiety, irritability, restlessness, and headaches. This can make it extremely hard to quit smoking tobacco, but long-term exposure or inhalation of cigarette smoke can lead to chronic lung disease, coronary heart disease, stroke, and cancer of the lungs, larynx, esophagus, mouth, and bladder! So many people know the risk associated with cigarettes but can't seem to quit due to withdrawal symptoms or simply t

CBD for Sleep

 Sleep. Most people will spend over a quarter of their lifetime, cuddled up on a cozy bed drooling on their pillow happily. But for many, that's not the case, and they are left staring into a dark room constantly checking an alarm clock, wishing they could just get a couple hours of solid sleep before the day begins. Everyone deals with some type of sleep disorder at one point in their life, but when it becomes agonizing to close your eyes every night, it can become a relentless long-term struggle. Insomnia affects over 3 million Americans and can lead to a number of unpleasant symptoms such as irritability, headaches, lack of focus or concentration, aggression, impulsive decision making, decreased libido and more. Many of these symptoms can make it extremely difficult to function in everyday life and can lead to complications in personal and professional relationships. Sleep deprivation can be triggered by a number of different occurrences such as (but not limited t
