For many people, their first experience with Cannabis was unpleasant, often making them feel more anxious rather than liberated.
That was certainly true for herbalist Stephanie Boucher @cannabotanicals. It wasn’t until she found herself working with the plants that she began how she could have a beneficial relationship with the herb, instead of a harmful one.
The thing about CBD is - because there are no mass advertising campaigns, everyone who finds their way to this healing product takes their own path to get there - and that’s true for the people who work with the plant as well.
Take @acadia_farms, where the entire product line was developed specifically for founder Ben Morgan-Dillon’s own family.
Everyone finds their own way to CBD.
For @tonic_cbd founder Brittany Carbone, CBD was part of a lifelong search for an antidote to anxiety and depression.

Many of the people who are growing and manufacturing CBD products also came to the plant in search of healing.
Here’s how Allen Gandelman, the co-owner of @headandheal, found himself growing CBD.
What can CBD do for you or someone you love?
As you’ll hear from some of the people we’ve talked to,
CBD can help with a wide variety of physical and emotional issues.
There’s a scientific reason how that’s even possible, but let’s start just by listening about the relief its offered to some of the people we’ve met.
Why do people take CBD? For more reasons than you can imagine. Here are just a few of the stories we’ve heard.
There’s so much hype about CBD — about the business and the laws and stock market — that the basic question most people have about CBD is often overlooked - what’s in it for them? What Can CBD offer you or your loved ones?
We’ve talked to many people with MANY problems — who have some dramatic stories to tell you about how CBD helped them. Here’s just a few of the personal battles we’ve heard about.
There has always been CBD in industrial hemp - but it didn’t look like this! A new generation of organic farmers — unleashed by state laws that have made the cultivation of CBD a licensed activity — have really begun to explore the potential of this plant.
If you want to experience that potential for yourself, you need to be sure that you’re medicine started looking something like this, one of the beauties from New York’s @headandheal.
As TLC said back in the day, “No Scrubs”!
Cannabis is old medicine. But CBD? That’s actually something that’s kind of new. Because up until just a few years ago, the effects of CBD were not understood.
Even today, its still kind of underground - a word-of-mouth remedy that can help with an astonishing number of problems. But its unfortunate that you’re more likely to learn about this cure from a beautician than a doctor!
Here on the @atlanticweedboard, we tip our knitted hat to Trinidad and Tobago, which this week moved to decriminalize cannabis on the islands.
T&T is also the home of our friend Sanga of the Valley, so this little story of how cannabis was treated when he was growing up on Trinidad is a reminder of how far we’ve come — and how many people suffered greatly under the harsh and unjust laws against this plant.
Four years! For a seed!
There is so much buzz about CBD and cannabis that it’s easy to think of it as something new. Of course, it’s one of the oldest medicines in the world - a plant that was considered a master healer as far back as 5000 years ago in China and India.
And as @arzumountain learned from the plant medicine traditions handed down to her by the women in her native Garifuna tradition, Cannabis — which our culture made into a joke — is considered one of the most sacred plant medicines of all. It’s time for us to remember.
How can you be sure what’s in your CBD products? Sure, you can check the test results, but the best way to be absolutely sure?

So how do you begin to find the right CBD products? There are 10 million products out there, and they are decidedly NOT all created equal.
Here are some good basic rules to keep in mind.
Can Hemp CBD help you and yours feel better? Its a question worth asking — particularly as we introduce you over the next weeks and months to so many people its provided relief for.
But as @ezraparzybok says, “Cannabis requires that the user meet the experience halfway.” What’s it feel like when something stops hurting?
If you’re trying to figure out how all this talk about cannabis and hemp CBD might help you or yours, let’s be honest and admit that it can be difficult.
There are so many different products out there, so many different strengths and entourage effects, as well as so many inconsistent products. We’re just at the beginning of this journey, really — so its probably not surprising there’s a lot of uncertainty in an unregulated market.
But we’re here to introduce you to people who can bring some light to the subject and to some quality product lines.
