In our follow-up chat we dive deeper into the proliferation of CBD-based products in the market. We specifically discuss the difference of hemp-derived versus cannabis-derived CBD, and what you should consider when purchasing and using these products. Josh drops a TON of knowledge, with some key takeaways for what to research and how to approach using CBD (topics vs. edibles vs. tinctures, what’s the right dosing, etc.)
