After a long day at the office, many people look forward to unwinding with a nice cocktail. Have you ever considered making a CBD infused cocktail? Adding the THC free oil may be a fun new way to give you more benefits while you drink.
CBD, cannabidiol, is created from the non psychoactive compound found in cannabis or hemp. CBD helps individuals feel calm, less anxious, and in less pain with its use. The THC free CBD oil has no psychoactive properties, making CBD infused recipes a fun way to experience the anti-inflammatory and relaxing benefits.
