We’re celebrating of the passing of the latest Farm Bill, which recognizes the nation’s farmers as integral to achieving long-term climate resilience and water quality goals.

So why is everyone talking about CBD?

To begin with, CBD is known to aid in stress, anxiety, nausea, and other ailments. People are also using it to naturally treat chronic pain, sleep deprivation and a variety of other ailments, including extreme conditions such as Epilepsy and Alzheimer's. CBD interacts with our naturally occurring systems and doesn’t cause a high, making it a safer, less controversial wellness alternative, while still offering significant health benefits.

There are over 113 compounds in the Cannabis sativa plant called cannabinoids--of those, CBD and THC are found in the highest concentrations. Over thousands of years, farmers have bred  Cannabis sativa into two different strains. The hemp plant contains low amounts of THC (the source of the psychotropic effects of marijuana) and high amounts of CBD. It’s historically more popular sister is the cannabis plant, which has been bred over the years to have high levels of THC.

According to Alex Mytelka, Honest Weight’s Center Store Manager, the biggest question he hears from shoppers about our CBD products is: ‘Will it get me high?’ All CBD products sold at Honest Weight are third party tested and must contain under 0.3% THC. Green Mountain, for instance, has a CBD to THC ratio of 24.8:1.

“The number of customers we’ve had asking about CBD this past year is tremendous. People are coming in with a variety of issues, hoping CBD can help in some way. From anxiety, inflammation, and restlessness, to epilepsy, Parkinson’s, and depression – customers read about CBD helping with these things online, come into the Co-op, and are typically surprised to see that we have such a great selection. Then, they keep coming back. We’ve had more and more customers tell us that their physicians or therapists have sent them in for CBD. It’s great to see traditional healthcare practitioners stepping outside of their comfort zones and pointing their patients toward alternative methods.”
