My infatuation with CBD first started when I began hearing about it - which also coincided with my adult on-set asthma. You could say I found out the hard way, that smoking pot will no longer really be a thing for me… not that smoking or smoking pot was really my thing but, ya girl likes to have fun! I finally tried CBD in Las Vegas at a vegan restaurant downtown, drawn in by sidewalk advertisement, “tea with CBD,” and thought, I have a redeye to catch tonight, perfect timing! I slept the entire flight ✈😴
After that, you could also say I’ve dabbled with a few brands, trying different CBD products out - for you know, self care 😊
I actually started with CBD drops because I was interviewing. Now, I’m a social and would consider myself an extrovert, but going into an interview is like social suicide for me. Prescribed betablockers calmed my nerves in interviews but I hated how those made me feel the next day. As the prescription ran out and I wanted another option, I did my research on the benefits of CBD and decided to give it a shot. While the CBD worked for the interview process, a particular brand made me feel more anxious and on edge the next day.
If you’re new to CBD, here are the list of benefits:
Help with depression and anxiety
Muscle Soreness
Improve Quality of Sleep

Full Disclosure - Unless prescribed by my doctor (like my asthma medication), I don’t take medicine on the regular. I think there is a time and place for eastern and western medicines and our bodies are a wonderland (queue John Mayer). My point is I don’t take CBD regularly, I treat it merely for the enjoyment, good sleep and relaxing when I’m feeling on edge.
Here is a NY Times article on the benefits of CBD.
