As the CBD craze sweeps the nation, we can’t help but get drawn into its popularity. Celebrities from Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Aniston, Rob Gronkowski and more are eating CBD gummies, taking CBD tinctures and endorsing it too. So, is all the hype worth it? Well, the answer is yes and no.
After the 2018 Farm Bill was signed in late 2018, the hemp plant (not the drug-type cannabis plant) became legal federally after about 80 years of prohibition. CBD is a cannabinoid found in both plants that is believed by many to be the primary medicinal compound found in the plant. It is not psychoactive, meaning it won’t get you high. People are using CBD for pain, seizures, anxiety and a variety of other medical conditions.
While hemp derived CBD is currently being sold nationwide, there have been reports that some companies have not been entirely truthful about how much CBD is in their products. There are also stories of people purchasing bootlegged vape products containing CBD that have led to lung disease and worse.

While celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg and Rihanna have agents and people to vet the best quality CBD gummies and other products out there, the average Jane and Joe must do research on their own to find a way to take advantage of the benefits of CBD. People should be looking for a third party certificate of analysis to verify the contents of the products. They should also be researching where the CBD is sourced and make sure the companies are on the level.

One company that is a standout is Sugar and Kush CBD. Their CBD products not only come with a certificate of analysis verifying the amount of CBD in each product, but their CBD cookies, CBD tinctures and CBD gummies are all zero sugar and zero carbs. These keto-friendly CBD oil products are made with health and wellness in mind while tasting delicious too.
While research is still ongoing, the testimonies from some of our favorite people are very compelling. The FDA is still putting together rules for the marketing and sales of CBD products, which is why some bad players are still squeaking through. We are all waiting for more research to let us know all the ways that CBD for pain, CBD for stress and CBD for sleep can help us out. In the meantime, make sure you do your due diligence.
