I was recently kicked out of my disease modifying drug support group because someone reported me for promoting my CBD business. In my defense, a question was asked in regards to what others in the group use to help relieve tremors.

I was trying to educate people that struggle with this monster of a disease on how beneficial this oil can be, but also how to look for one that is safe. Having a neurological disease means that it is even more important to be sure that you know exactly what is in what you are using, and here is why:

The short version is that in 2018, the farm bill legally declassified hemp as a Schedule 1 drug substance. The reason for this is because although hemp is part of the cannabis plant, it contains very low levels of THC, the cannabinoid that makes you feel high. Marijuana on the other hand, contains very high levels of THC and low levels of CBD. If you’re still confused, consider a lemon and a lime. Although they are both part of the citrus family, they are very different. After nearly 50 years, hemp is finally back and booming!

The reason why I chose to partner with Green Compass Global, the only brand I trust is because of it's full transparency. I know EXACTLY what is in my bottle, which unfortunately isn’t true when it comes to most brands. This is especially important if you are seeking a natural way to balance your body but your job requires drug testing. In fact, a recent study showed that the majority of CBD products on the market are mislabeled with high levels of THC. (Source: Study Reveals Inaccurate Labeling of Marijuana as Hemp)

Before I was removed from the group, I had posted this graphic as a guide to choosing high quality CBD. When incorporating something like CBD into your health routine, these boxes need to be checked:

Whether you choose Green Compass Global or not, please do your research and make sure that your product meets these standards.  I knew that I could not use this for myself, my kids or my husband unless I knew exactly what I was using.  I do believe this is why my past experiences with CBD were negative.  What I have found is that incorporating full-spectrum, organic hemp flower extract into my personal daily routine has provided relief from my anxious feelings revolving around my disease. I feel less stressed, more optimistic and I have unbelievable focus.
