CBD, or Cannabidiol, is a popular cannabinoid found in high quantities in Industrial Hemp. CBD shows great promise for its anti-inflammatory properties and is highly sought after by those participating in a cannabinoid therapy who do not desire any mind-altering side effects.

As someone who has struggled with tobacco addiction throughout my adult life, I can say that on my own personal journey, using a CBD vape pen or even smoking a bit of industrial Hemp based CBD rich flower takes the edge off and gives me an immediate advantage in my ongoing battle with tobacco.

Humans and the form of Cannabis known as Industrial Hemp go way back. Hemp was there when humans evolved from hunter-gatherer to farmer-harvester. As we planted seeds, our natural environment was substantially and permanently changed. Now more than ever, we need Hemp to return to our fields.

We are once again at the brink of an agricultural revolution and that revolution centers on humanity’s return to our roots and ultimately, our return to Cannabis cultivation following a 70-year ban. The time is now… and the plant is Hemp.

It produces the medicine known as Cannabidiol (CBD) which is showing great promise for people like me who have battled with tobacco addition.
