ealing w/ CBD s
By Terie Sandusky
to a month to get over it, but all my symptoms were gone
after one night of CBD induced sleep. I felt great, complete-
ly reborn, better than ever. I am a believer! I’m also a mi-
graine sufferer, I’ve since used this tincture during migraine
and it relieved the pain. Unlike THC, CBD’s do not get you
“high”, it’s more of a body relaxant, pain reliever than a
party.
Let me start by saying, I haven't smoked pot since college.
I'm a straight edge mom, no more than occasional mi-
crobrew for me. Then, I caught this wicked flu going around
this Winter, worst sickness I’ve had in years. Body aches,
horrific headache, fever, hot & cold at the same time but
the worst part was I could not sleep,
even after taking a sleeping aid, didn't
sleep a wink, felt awful all night long.
My results convinced me, CBD’s are powerful medicine! I
spoke to Aviv Hadar of Oregrown about CBD’s. He is an
inspirational business leader. He said he is humbled by the
support of the Bend community for Oregrown. He equally
supports Bend back by sponsoring our Athletes, check it

Next day, in a moment of sickness and
desperation, I asked my husband to
go to Oregrown to find a CBD product
to induce sleep. A client told me she
takes CBDs for pain relief and to sleep.
The staff were so friendly & informa-
tive on my husband’s first experience in a pot shop.
CBD: Gateway to Health and Healing
by Aviv Hadar, Co-founder of Oregrown
Most people have heard of THC, Tetrahydrocannabinol, a
naturally occurring chemical compound in cannabis associ-
ated with feeling “high,” scientists have identified more
than 80 other cannabinoids that play a beneficial role in
health. Best known of these is Cannabidiol, or CBD. Scien-
tists learn more everyday about this powerful healing com-
pound that has no psychoactive effect. Studies using animal
models show CBD has anti-inflammatory properties and can
inhibit the growth of some kinds of tumors. Research sug-
gests CBDs may be helpful in treatment of depression.
“ Thirty minutes later I was finally out, deep asleep,
having a magnificent dream that I was an Eagle
soaring over Smith Rock, felt like I slept forever.”
He came home with Hypnos tincture (SunGod), included
CBD’s, Lemon Balm and hops designed to promote sleep.
One dropper full under my tongue, it tasted sweet, herbal
and soothing. Thirty minutes later I was finally out, deep
asleep, having a magnificent dream that I was an Eagle
soaring over Smith Rock, felt like I slept forever.
This is not news to people who use CBD regularly for a vari-
ety of health problems. People who swear by CBD say it
helps them avoid addictive painkillers and unwanted side
effects of over-the-counter and prescription drugs. CBD in
topical creams, lotions or transdermal patches such as for-
mulated by Mary’s Medicinals, can provide relief from pain
associated with injuries, sprains, strains, as well as neuropa-
thy and chronic pain from rheumatoid arthritis. CBD helps
with anxiety and sleeplessness.
The true miracle came when I awoke the next morning, my
flu illness was GONE! Completely Gone! I've known several
people who had this bug going around & said it took weeks
I’ve observed CBD reduces or eliminates noncancerous
fatty lipomas older dogs are prone to and provides relief
from arthritis and muscle injuries. If you’re interested in

1199 Wall Street in downtown Bend. Our friendly, knowl-
edgeable staff will help you find exactly what you need.
