Connecting to the Earth

Digging within the depths

Emerging sensual mermaids

So, how did you first cross paths with CBD?

Laura

I believe that I was hanging out with a friend and he had a vape. And he asked me if I wanted to try it. And I said, "No, I don't. I don't vape." He said, "It's CBD oil. I use it for anxiety." And so, I tried it. I mean, I don't remember the experience at the time, but I just remember trying it.
