How Do I Choose the Best CBD to Use?

Unfortunately, the market today is flooded with CBD products. While many are excellent formulations from very reputable vendors, many products are of questionable quality. Here are some tips for how consumers can locate truth within the product packaging to ensure you choose a quality product:

  • Make sure the amount of CBD in the bottle (in mg) is clearly displayed on the package or bottle.
  • Make sure the total volume of CBD oil is clearly printed on the bottle.
  • Determine whether the CBD is cannabis or hemp-derived. Also determine where the hemp is grown, and whether it is grown by a state-regulated supplier.
  • Make sure to determine whether the hemp is organic or non-organic.
  • Determine the reputation of the company and ensure the cleanliness of the product.
  • The extraction method used to separate the CBD from the hemp plant should be plainly labeled; common extraction methods are ethanol, butane, and CO2. The CO2 extraction method is generally regarded as the “cleanest” method and the one that preserves the greatest quantity of cannabinoids.

What is the Best Way to Use CBD

There are many factors to consider when trying to determine the form of CBD that will work best for you. First and foremost, you want to consider what you’re using CBD for, and always make sure you get a quality product.

In general, there are five forms of CBD.

  1. Topical CBD comes in creams, oils, salves, and balms. There are many cannabinoid receptors in the skin, so this form of CBD is generally fast-acting.
  2. Tinctures are extracted using several techniques including the CO2 method and the ethanol method. All of the extraction techniques are designed to preserve as many of cannabinoids as possible. Tinctures are generally taken orally, but can also be mixed into food or drink. The fastest-acting tinctures are those taken sublingually (under the tongue). When taken in this fashion, the effects kick in after 15 to 45 minutes.
  3. Edibles are also very popular because they taste great, are easy to use and are also discrete. CBD is usually infused into a baked good or smoothie to transform it into an edible. Many people find it is easier to dose CBD with an edible. Since edibles, in general, have a higher concentration of CBD, this is a great way to take higher CBD doses. If the edible has a sufficient quantity of another oil or fat, such as coconut oil, that formulation generally increases CBD’s bioavailability.
  4. Oral CBD in the form of drops, sprays, and capsules represents another ingestion method. They’re easy to use. Capsules are quickly digested, and drops or sprays of CBD under the tongue are very fast-acting. Many oils and oral sprays are flavored to mask the earthiness of natural CBD.
  5. Vaping is certainly another way to ingest CBD. While inhalation has been deemed a very effective method, there have been many recent serious lung health hazards attributed to vaping and vaping additives, so caution is warranted.

CannaBoss Lady Menopause Workshop

As first shared on The Village Green:

In honor of World Menopause Day & Women’s History Month, we’ve decided to move the original date of September 28th to October 18th, same time; same place.

World Menopause Day is observed on October 18 every year to raise awareness about the impact the condition has on the lives of women around the world. Despite affecting about half of the world’s population, menopause isn’t talked about as much as it should be. Observing the day is also an opportunity to encourage further medical research on the condition.

HISTORY OF WORLD MENOPAUSE DAY

World Menopause Day was established in 1984 by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Menopause Society (IMS) with the intention of spreading awareness about this condition that affects women as they age.

Menopause is a term used to describe the natural decline of a woman’s reproductive hormones, beginning between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body experiences its last menstrual cycle.

Common symptoms of menopause include hot flashes, night sweats, mood changes, and sleep disturbances. All of these symptoms can result in an increase in anxiety and depression. After menopause, women are more at risk of developing conditions like heart disease and osteoporosis.

If you are confused about or have been struggling through menopause then this is the workshop for you!

We will cover:

– What is happening to your body and why

– How to manage your symptoms

– Simple changes you can make to help you feel your best

– CBD products that can help

This is designed to be a fun interactive workshop where you can meet other amazing women & connect through your shared experiences. You will leave feeling INVIGORATED & EMPOWERED!


Cannabis Social Equity & Expungement Clinic

As seen in TapintoSOMA

MAPLEWOOD, NJ -  On Wednesday, September 21st, 2022, SOMA Action Cannabis Equity Initiative Committee will host a social equity and expungement event at The Woodland in Maplewood. This event is designed to address the disparate impact that cannabis arrests have on minority communities. Criminal records can have a debilitating generational impact on the lives and livelihoods of individuals and their families. Formerly incarcerated people often suffer from restricted access to employment, housing, banking, education, professional opportunities, and voting.

According to committee member Jill Cohen, Founder of TheCannaBossLady and Cannabis Dispensary License Awardee, "cannabis usage is nearly identical across all racial groups, but arrests for cannabis disproportionately affect communities of color. We need to support the legacy operators who created this industry and their families who were affected by the war on drugs."


The CannaBoss Lady to Host Full Moon Circle, Tarot Readings, and Tibetan Singing Bowls

Moon Circle connects you with like-minded women, to form friendships, and experience the magic of sisterhood.

You can be yourself, speak your truth, and feel confident and comfortable within your body.

this circle is a sanctuary for women who are craving a safe, authentic space, free of judgment. For we have been judged, criticized, and shamed for lifetimes.

We are here to support each other, as we share our hopes, dreams, and struggles; and be a part of our healing and transformation.

A moon circle not only builds a community, and has the power to heal all the women in the circle, but has the power to extend that healing to each of those women’s wider communities and create a far-reaching ripple effect that changes the world.
