VITAMIN cbD
AUGUST 23, 2018
I've talked at length about my obsessive desire (and, realistically, only part-time reality) to eliminate prescription pills from my life. Easier said than done, but hands down, the best solution I've found through my research is a big, fat, classic JOINT TO THE FACE. Indica, sativa, skunky shit from outer boroughs, oregano in a baggie -- there's a type of weed for each of your demons' appetites.
However, unlike myself, most professionals are not creative freelancers, which means they cannot be high as hell all day and call it part of the “artistic process.” (I don’t envy them.) So, CBD to the rescue! But as I'm sure you've realized by now, this hemp craze has led the market to become oversaturated with products, and it's next to impossible to figure out what's gonna heal your pain, fear, and existential dread, and what's simply going to make it worse. I'm here to help.
But real quick -- first, once and for all, let's review what CBD EVEN FUCKING IS.
Simply put, CBD is the component of weed that is not THC, meaning it is non-psychoactive, meaning it will not fuck with your head (unlike your latest crush). What it will do is calm you down like a nibble of Xanax, center you like 30 minutes of meditation, and/or alleviate pain like Advil. There’s no risk of overdosing on CBD, because it acts like a vitamin: the body can only absorb so much. The worst that can happen is nausea — which, don’t get me wrong, sucks, but at least you won’t have to deal with horrendous hospital lighting.
Dosage-wise, if taken orally (oil, gummy, etc.), I’m usually cool with 10-15mg. That said, for those newer to the game, I'd DEFINITELY recommend starting at 5; it can be strong, and so is my tolerance. If used topically (skincare), make sure the bottle contains a couple hundred mg. Otherwise, you're not getting bang for your buck, and you'll quickly discover these products are expensive. Like anything else you'd put in or on your body, it's always best to go organic, and do some research into production practices.
My recommendations, as of summer 2018:
Lily (oil)
L'Fleur (lip balm, skin rash cream)
Lovewell Farms (CBD/reiki infused Honey & Lollipops!)
Verte (everything)
Wildflower (vapes)
Also, I'm so[oooo] proud to announce that I've spearheaded House of Gro's CBD blog! If you're looking for more digestible education about CBD, or just another excuse to hear my unwarranted opinions, check it out. I post a new one a week!
Happy (legal) High, kids.

BEAUTY SPOTLIGHT : EXPLAINING HEMP OIL WITH VERTE ESSENTIALS
may 2, 2018
by molly hogan
If you’ve done any shopping in the beauty department recently, you may have noticed that CBD + hemp oil based products are all the rage. Is “all the rage” a term kids these days say or are my 90s roots showing? Anyway, I’ve seen the beauty sector explode with these types of products. And with that, I’ve heard so many misleading or incorrect claims about products containing CBD or hemp oil. With the help of one of my favorite hemp based brands, Verte Essentials, I’m going to drop some knowledge + bring you the facts about these ingredients.
WHAT IS HEMP EXTRACT?
Verte Essentials make all of their products using premium hemp extracts from some of the world’s oldest, organic + sustainable farms. Hemp extract, also known as Cannabi Diol, is an isolated molecule of the cannabis plant (yes, THAT cannabis plant you’ve been hearing so much about).
Hemp is a term used for cannabis strains that contain very low levels of THC [ less than 0.2% to be exact ].
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The cannabis plant produces something called cannabinoids, which are super similar to endocannabinoids that our bodies produce. These endocannabinoids help to regulate our our neurological system, playing a role in pain, emotion, sleep, metabolism, etc. A lack of these regulators have been linked to disease + various medical conditions!
Cannabis contains 80 different cannabinoids, including THC [ which gets you high ] and Cannabi Diol [ which does NOT get you high ]. While THC is psychoactive, Cannabi Diol is actually an antipsychotic!
AM I GETTING HIGH?
The simple answer is NO. Using hemp will not get you high. It’s also in no way illegal. Hemp oil is considered a plant based food product, and there are no restrictions on its sale, production or consumption in the US and most other countries.
There is absolutely no THC in any Verte Essential products! Yet they still have major benefits. Keep reading.
