Humans are not the only living creatures that benefit from CBD products. Ben has given his dog Snoopy CBD bones to help him calm down while being home alone, among other reasons. All animals, including mammals, birds, reptiles, and fish, have an endocannabinoid system. CBD is the next big natural medicine. It is in all places, from a gas station to Walmart. This craze would not be happening if CBD did not live up to the hype. We recommend you speak with your veterinarian before giving your animal CBD. We bring up Karen Gellman, a Ph.D. in animal locomotion biomechanics, and her recommendation for dosing with CBD with animals. It is crucial to note your animal's behavior before taking the product and look for behavioral abnormalities when giving your pet CBD. Make sure to start low and slow with your pet to avoid overloading their endocannabinoid system. If you happen to overload your own EC system, there is no need to worry; simply turn yourself into a blanket burrito and cuddle your pet (it releases endorphins!) We discuss different CBD products recommended from Venture Beat's website. We recommend looking up the CBD company you would like to use to ensure good ratings and business practices. When looking for your pet's CBD products, check that the CBD has been tested and is lab certified, organically grown, and has overall good ratings. We recommend joining CBD groups to find out what all the hype is about!

Have you tried Mr. Nice Guy? It is a pipe cleaner that is biodegradable and is used with boiling water. Ben is making his way through the cannabis industry. He explains his struggles of being hired at a dispensary, the success of his company Mr. Nice Guy and their pending patent. We start our discussion about CBD exploring what uses it has for children. Our guest Maria brings up good questions that many people may have about CBD. We discuss the positives and negatives of giving children consuming minimal amounts of THC to stimulate their endocannabinoid system. Maria describes how she treats her son with autism by taking CBD. Maria gives her son barely a drop of CBD once a month. His monetary side, attention, and speaking skills have improved with this dosage. We bring up Charolette Figi and how Charolette's web has become a monumental CBD strain that everyone in the industry knows about. We explain other uses of CBD such as helping with anxiety. We discuss the difference between a tincture and an extract. We recommend checking what your tincture is made out of, and why you want to avoid alcohol tinctures. Always know what your product is and how it works, edibles are no exception to this! Edibles have a longer onset time than elixirs, which are made with nano emulsifying technology. Although the onset time is longer, edibles absorb naturally into the body whereas nanotechnology skips the first pass going everywhere in the bloodstream. For CBD products recommend trying CBD Yours Truly, CBD American trail man, CBD Lakewood for CBD cigarettes, Prime My Body, Doctor Solomon's, and Organic Plus Brands. If none of those products are for you, we recommend googling what effects you're looking for to find CBD products that work for you!

Join Ben and Lillian as we further discuss what could happen if the MORE Act goes through the future of legalization.

People who have wrongfully been affected by the war on drugs have a harder time getting into the cannabis industry due to a lack of funds and or criminal offenses. The MORE Act has a social equity plan to pardon some cannabis offenses and promote small minority business owners. We hit on topics such as why cannabis should not be classified as a schedule 1 drug, the best strains to boost concentration while reading an intensive document like the MORE Act, where the money is going with the opportunities trust fund, and how the president should be able to smoke a joint; it is a stressful job!
