There are a few different ways you can use CBD to help relieve pain. You can take a supplement in the form of tinctures/oils or as a capsule. But the most popular way seems to be topicals which you can apply directly to the area of concern.
Whether your best friend is big or small, he or she deserves the best care.
Maybe you have tried CBD for your health, but did you know it can provide some of the same benefits for your dog? The flexibility and greatness that is CBD has started to find its way into products created for our pets. Research has shown that the endocannabinoid system is found in all mammals; humans and dogs.
This is a partial list of conditions that CBD has reportedly been used to treat dogs:
What do dog owners say about CBD? According to a survey from The American Holistic Veterinary Medical Association (AHVMA) it is reported that 61.8% to 95% of pet owners surveyed endorsed the health benefits of CBD-laced treats.
Veterinarians have also found that if your dog is taking conventional medicines CBD may make it possible to use lower doses of the drugs to achieve the same effects. Since most conventional medicines have side effects this is another useful benefit of CBD.
Using CBD for pets is relatively new, so there is not a lot of clinical research to prove how effective CBD for dogs is. However, as mentioned above, dogs have an endocannabinoid system and that system has been studied in humans. Many pet owners have been very vocal about how CBD has helped their dogs (or cats). One of our own Canna Treehouse family's dog suffered from mild seizures and after using CBD they are 99% gone!
The CBD Dog products that are beginning to appear on the market are coming in the form of edibles, lotion, and oils. All these forms of CBD delivery have been proven to be safe for your dog. In rare occasions some dogs showed the following side effects:
Although these reported side effects are rare if your dog displays any of these symptoms you should stop giving them CBD.
Customers have been reaching out to us at Canna Treehouse asking when we were going to start carrying CBD products for pets. Since the demand was there, we started our search for a high-quality CBD pet product and we didn’t have to look far.
This is Maddie, and she offered to test some products for us! After testing and reading customer reviews we concluded that CBD is an excellent product for dogs and would be a great choice to add to Canna Treehouses’ lineup of products.
We have several options available, depending on your dog. For the picky eater, you can give them treats available in Peanut Butter Banna and Blueberry Cranberry flavors. We also have several tinctures, which you can add to food or give directly (one of our family dogs, takes his straight from the dropper). Tinctures allow you to better control dosing. If your dog likes to have her paws touched, you can use one of our newest products, a CBD pet balm that can help soothe sore paws or other external irritations.
We will continue to expand on the CBD pet products we offer because we want to provide our customers with a selection. This may take a little time because we only want to offer our customers the best. Also, the products we sell at Canna Treehouse are ones that we believe in and feel are very high quality. So we will be methodical and very selective in our search so when you see a new product come up on our store you will know it is quality.
Have you tried CBD for your dog? If so, we would love to hear about your experience in the comments below.

]]>My high school experience elucidated the negative and bias perception most of the people around have about cannabis and hemp, whenever this topic is made, very sensitive comment is passed which contributes to the negative perception already existing in the world. Growing up my grandmother had cancer, medicinal marijuana was one of the prescribed drugs given to her to consume to subdue the pain from cancer. This made me more open to the pool of benefits cannabis and hemp contain, the consumption of this product was purposely to get high or stoned but through the infusion of the CBD provided by the cannabis plant into the bloodstream, chronic pain was being managed and easy to live with. In high school, the atmosphere was very intense concerning the use of cannabis, students were either suspended or expelled from the school. This worsened the mentality concerning the negative effects of the cannabis and hemp. In severe instances, students were sent to the nearest asylum just instill that fear or present to them the negative effect which affects the human brain when cannabis or hemp is consumed.
The legalization of cannabis and hemp has attained a gradual growth; a handful of countries such as Canada, Colombia, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Uruguay, Romania, France and the United States are legalizing the use of cannabis and hemp based on the economic benefit and medical benefits. Marijuana has become one of the most efficient and effective political and economic movements America has ever pioneered, with about a handful of states such as Alaska, California, Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon and Washington leading the movement which focuses on the legalization of marijuana. The awareness of the medicinal benefits keeps increasing but federally marijuana or cannabis is still seen as a scheduled drug which makes it limited to the masses for consumption and distribution.
While THC is illegal in most countries due to the effects it induces when being consumed, CBD is legal in most countries due to the purpose it serves. CBD is a short term used to refer to cannabidiol, this is a substance in which traces of it is found in more than 60 compounds of cannabis and hemp. Cannabidiol is a canabinoid extracted from hemp and cannabis sativa. CBD acts specifically on the body’s endocannabinoid system by creating physical changes in the body which in the long run serves as very beneficial for the health of the individual. Cannabidiol has achieved legal status around the world- in Australia, CBD has achieved an SU (standard for the uniform scheduling of drugs or poison. In Canada, it is legal under the controlled drugs and substance act and in the United Kingdom, it has been made legal.
Through several scientific and clinical research barked by the United States government, it highlights that CBD’s creates the avenue for the potential treatment of a wide range of ailments and diseases. These ailments include antibiotic-resistant infections, PTSD, arthritis, neurological disorders, alcoholism, chronic pain, MS, depression, diabetes, schizophrenia, and epilepsy (dravet syndrome). CBD is said to have neuroprotective and neurogenic effects, it serves as an orphan drug for specific illness such as the dravet syndrome and cancer. Dravet syndrome is an intense form of epilepsy which begins from infancy but can be eradicated with the use of CDB products extracted from cannabis sativa and hemp stocks.

We were amazed at what we learned about CBD. It has been proven to help people with nerve pain, muscle pain and all types of ailments such as psoriasis, seizures, anxiety the list goes on. What put us over the top was speaking directly to people who use CBD products. The world is at the cusp of a CBD revolution.
Many people thought we were crazy to start a business selling CBD products in the Deep South. We were told that the ultra-conservative South would never accept a business such as Canna Treehouse. Move back and start your business on the West Coast we were told. Not a chance. Starting a business which sells CBD products in the Deep South just seemed like something a Weirdo would do.
Anyone who has spent any considerable amount of time in the Deep South the first thing that becomes evident is how polite and genuine true Southerners are. We instantly felt welcomed and part of the community. It is true the people in the Deep South do tend to lean more towards conservative. My wife and I never felt as though anyone pushed their opinions on us nor judged us for ours. Wanting to maintain this balance the business plan for Canna Treehouse was to keep a low profile and focus our sales online.
An interesting characteristic about Weirdo’s is we can't keep quiet about anything that excites us.
So, there we were my wife and I before a group of multi-generational Southerners explaining to them the benefits of CBD. Someone asked the question, "where does CBD come from?". I chose my words carefully and explained how CBD is extracted from hemp and cannabis. From the peanut gallery someone says,“Oh, so you sell weed!?" With that statement I felt we were pretty much done. Surely these genuinely conservative folks only had to hear the word “weed” and shut down and ban us from the tribe. But to my surprise everyone around us actually became that much more curious and listened more intently as I explained the difference between CBD extracted from hemp and CBD extracted from cannabis. I explained the difference between THC and CBD. I went into how CBD doesn’t get you high yet provides so many healing benefits and at a high level I touched on the endocannabinoid system. The only concern most of them had was whether CBD was legal or not. After explaining the legalities of CBD and without a doubt CBD is legal these ultra-conservative Southerners were convinced and curious to try. As it turns out folks here in the Deep South are no different then anyone else in the world suffering with illnesses and pain. Folks are tired of taking the opiates that modern medicine continues to push on us all. Whether you are from Los Angeles, Chicago or a small town in Georgia we all know someone personally or have heard about someone whose life was destroyed by becoming addicted to pain medicine / opiates originally prescribed by a doctor.
Educating people about CBD is the only way progress will be made. Teaching people about the wellness benefits of CBD on the West Coast is not a challenge. Most people on the West Coast have been hearing about the benefits of cannabis for a long time. The real challenge comes with educating people in a part of the country that have been told their entire life the exact opposite by politicians who choose to ignore the latest evidence and science that has proven marijuana has medical benefit. When facts and scientific proof no longer applies this is when Weirdo's are at their best.
'The Weirdo's Diary - Starting a CBD Company vol 3' is a blog that will follow the challenges and success of the Weirdo’s at Canna Treehouse and their attempts to spread the word and educate people in the Deep South and throughout the world about this amazing Cannabinoid known as CBD.
]]>Since we had Christy at the Treehouse we asked her if she would be willing to be Canna Treehouses’ first interview for our new blog ‘People of the CBD Industry’. This is a new blog that will use a Q&A format to interview people who are stand-outs and true advocates within the CBD industry. Graciously, she agreed. Below is Canna Treehouses’ Q&A with Elixinols own Christy Theil:
Canna Treehouse: Where does Elixinol get their hemp?
Canna Treehouse: What sets Elixinol apart from other Brands?
Canna Treehouse: Which product do you like to promote the most?
Canna Treehouse: When shopping for CBD Products what should people consider?
Canna Treehouse: Is there a difference between lotions, oils and Capsules?
Theil: Yes, the delivery system. One absorbs ½ of the CBD when it is absorbed through the skin. Oils can be absorbed sublingually and get into the blood stream that way. At the right serving size, one might feel benefits within 10-60 minutes. Capsules are absorbed in the gut and take 1-2 hours to start taking effect and it’s a very nice delivery system. Vaping is immediate, right into the mucus membranes of the lungs.
Canna Treehouse: How important is it for a company to have seed to shelf control of the hemp they use?
Theil: It’s not that important if companies who buy bulk trust their supplier. Elixinol is one of the world’s largest supplier of bulk oils. We are not at the mercy of a company changing their price, running low, not keeping up with demands, etc. Elixinol came in prepared and continues to expand vertically and horizontally within this industry. We control the price not our suppliers. This gives us an advantage.
Canna Treehouse: Can CBD be taken along with prescription meds?
Theil: There are no known adverse drug interactions with CBD. I would caution one to be aware of the side effects of their medications. CBD works on the same or similar receptors as medications and as these receptors heal and repair then side effects can increase since the medications may appear stronger.Canna Treehouse: Why don’t most doctors recommend CBD?
Theil: Most doctors don’t know or understand the far-reaching effects of a healthy endocannabinoid system. This system trumps all other systems since it is what regulates them. Once doctors understand how most every condition, symptom and disease is has its roots in a deficient endocannabinoid system they would be negligent to ignore it.Canna Treehouse: How does CBD work in the body?
Theil: CBD works on the cell receptors of the endocannabinoid system, nucleus and mitochondria. Every cell has these receptors. CBD is considered a smart molecule. It knows where to go and what to do.
Canna Treehouse: Is CBD extracted from Cannabis better than Hemp? What is the difference?
Theil: Cannabis encompasses marijuana and hemp. The differences is MJ is naturally higher in THC- the recreational and psychoactive molecule and CBD more so comes from hemp, which is naturally high in CBD and low in THC. CBD will make you healthy but will not make you high. I feel it is a huge misunderstanding that people have been told they need THC for CBD to work. This has not been my experience in the least. THC can have more set-backs than benefits.
Canna Treehouse: How do I determine how much CBD I need?
Theil: Servings of CBD are individual. Remember the more chronic one is, the more the body is up-regulating receptors or the more receptors the body makes. In general, if one is not getting the results they want it’s safe to increase till results are experienced. At Elixinol we have not seen any benefits over 200 mg’s a day. For most people 10- 90 mg’s will be effective. Once the inflammatory response begins to decrease most people can take less CBD.
Canna Treehouse: Currently where is all the CBD research being conducted?
Theil: Research for CBD was spearheaded in Israel. Now it is quickly becoming one of the most researched molecules in the world. More and more I am learning of major universities that are pumping out research; John Hopkins, Vermont University, Colorado State Pueblo and other countries.Canna Treehouse: Is the CBD industry federally regulated? If so, by whom?
Theil: I wish I could answer this… I think there is a lot of grey areas especially when one doesn’t know if it’s coming from hemp or MJ. The molecule itself is not regulated (federally) but in a full spectrum product from MJ or with THC it would be.
Canna Treehouse: Is there any major break-through on the CBD horizon that you know of?
Theil: The biggest breakthrough with CBD is how it works on the endocannabinoid system. This is a huge breakthrough because this system regulates balance or homeostasis for every system in the body! Inflammation is aging. Aging can affect the heart, brain, GI track, nervous and immune system. Also, Neuro-placidity is a big breakthrough we will be hearing a lot more about with CBD!
Canna Treehouse: In your opinion is the federal government trying to make CBD illegal?
Theil: In my opinion the federal government is not trying to make CBD illegal but the DEA would like it to be.
Canna Treehouse: Where do you see the CBD industry going?
Theil: I see the CBD and cannabis industry being a big part of functional and integrative medicine communities. From kids in sports and the prevention of traumatic brain injuries to the treatment and prevention of Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, cancer, depression, PTSD and its spectrum to IBD, pain and sleep disorders. Cannabis is one of the best plants for your health and environment. It cleans our soils and can be used as a main material for almost every industry!
Canna Treehouse: How important is the CBD extraction process?
Canna Treehouse: What challenges or major hurdles do you see now and in the future for the CBD industry?
Canna Treehouse: What advice or information would you like to share with potential customers or people deciding if CBD is right for them?
Christy Thiel was so inspirational to me and everyone at the Treehouse. We are so excited to have the opportunity to carry Elixinol products here at Canna Treehouse. We are so positive that once you try any of Elixinols products you will be a believer that we will offer 15% off any Elixinol product for a limited time at www.CannaTreehouse.com use discount code Thiel at checkout.
]]>I started selling CBD because I believe that this cannabinoid can do amazing things. I saw firsthand how effective it was on my wife, the ‘Weirdo Whisperer’, and my mother in law. The ‘Weirdo Whisperer’ has a bad back from an auto accident and finds relief from a combination of capsules and lotion. Her mother has neuropathy and says the only thing that helps her is The Fay Farm Rejuvenation lotion. As our sales grow I hear from more and more customers. Customers who tell me about their ailments and explain how CBD helps them and the products and methods that are most effective. With every customer story, I become more impressed and more excited about this cannabinoid. I also have potential customers reach out to me describing a particular ailment and ask for my advice. First and foremost I will always be honest with them. If I do not feel CBD will help someone I don’t want to sell to them. Secondly, I make it very clear that I am not a doctor and my opinion and suggestions are based on customer feedback and conversations with the manufacturers whose products are carried by Canna Treehouse.

Cannabis has a similar story, fear and ignorance is what got it originally listed as a schedule 1 drug in 1970. Without any research or facts Congress “Temporarily” listed Cannabis as a schedule 1 drug along with heroin and LSD. Cocaine and methamphetamine were listed as a Schedule 2. President Nixon simply didn’t know what to do with Cannabis which is why he approved its rating. A Congressional sub-committee led by James Eastland upheld the listing in 1974. This sub-committee went against all the advice of medical experts and voted based off personal prejudice and fear. From the very beginning the fix was in. Cannabis was never going to be taken off the Schedule 1 list. It was never about the facts; instead it was always about the people that our political leaders perceived as cannabis’ primary users: Hippies, Bikers, Hispanics and Black people.
Privately, people in main-stream society have a completely different opinion towards both Weirdo’s and Cannabis. It Tends to be the opposite of what they voice in public settings. The relationship between the general public and Weirdo’s – Cannabis is complicated. Weirdo’s are people that had the courage to stay true to who they were and not succumb to the pressures that society put on them to change. This is upsetting because everyone at some point in their lives looks into the mirror and see’s a truly unique person who will make a difference one day staring back at them. Swearing they will never become their parents.. Than life happens and they change. These onetime Weirdo’s blend into the general public and become part of the main -stream. Perhaps when you hear someone putting down a Weirdo or bullying them it’s because they are actually jealous or frustrated at the direction their own lives have taken.
Just like Weirdo’s, cannabis has that same complicated relationship with main-stream society. Everyone knows someone, has a family member or they themselves smoked cannabis. They knew that the misinformation being taught to them in their Jr. High School Nutritional Studies class taught by one of the Gym Teachers was not only wrong but didn’t make sense. But, again life happens. They find themselves being crushed by society and forced to change. They see someone puffing on a joint or they get a whiff of that discernible smell of a dank bud and they are immediately catapulted to a more enjoyable time. They cannot stay in the moment because they have become an upstanding member of society and main-stream society says cannabis is dangerous and should not be condoned.
Acceptance by main-stream society is not really what a Weirdo wants. A Weirdo wants to simply be themselves without hindrance. Whether you accept them or not is not a concern of a Weirdo. Cannabis on the other hand needs to be accepted. It needs to be accepted so that Science can perform more comprehensive experiments and discover all the healing and wellness this plant has to offer. As long as cannabis remains on the Schedule 1 list Science and the Medical Field cannot effectively perform the necessary testing and experiments. Just think what the Science and Medical fields can discover if from cannabis if given the chance. With the little experimentation that the Federal Government has allowed the Medical Field has proven that cannabis is effective in treating many different human ailments. With these facts the Federal Government still refuses to remove Cannabis from the Schedule 1 drug list and continues their campaign against it.
When Weirdo’s come across each other in a crowd there is an immediate bond. Weirdo’s instinctively look out for each other because they have respect for one another. Albeit a plant, Cannabis is a Weirdo and needs our help. Cannabis needs our help to become main-stream. By going main-stream Cannabis can enrich many lives. It can be an alternative to those who are suffering and need something other than the opiates being pushed upon them for their wellness. Science would be able to explore, experiment and unlock all the healing potential of this little Weirdo.. Isn’t that what it should be all about?
Keep It Weird…

Before we can delve into the debate of Full Spectrum vs. Isolate we need to understand what each means.
Full Spectrum is made up of multiple cannabinoids, such as, CBD, CBG, CBN or CBC. Essentially, full spectrum can be compared to a multi-vitamin.
Isolate contains only one cannabinoid.
Outside of THC the most popular cannabinoid right now is CBD. This makes sense because THC and CBD are the two major cannabinoids found in cannabis. The percentage make up of these two cannabinoids is much greater than other cannabinoids. Cannabinoids that make up a smaller percentage of the plant are constantly being discovered. At the time of writing, there have been a total of 113 cannabinoids discovered. Science is taking these newly discovered cannabinoids and testing them and trying to determine their wellness value. For example, here is a few of the lesser known cannabinoids and what they have been discovered to assist with:
CBG – kill or slow bacterial growth, improve bone density and reduce inflammation
CBN – Sleep aide for those who suffer from insomnia
CBC – The Italian Cannabinoid study found CBC May Increase Neural Progenitor Stem Cells
What has just recently been discovered is cannabinoids produce a synergistic effect; it gives merit to the saying, “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.” This is where the debate between Full Spectrum and Isolate begins.
Since the discovery that cannabinoids produce a synergistic effect it has been argued that this effect makes the cannabinoids act differently when combined. Combining CBD with THC and CBG will provide different results than if you were to use a pure form of CBD.
The process of extracting THC and CBD has come a long way and is becoming more exact every day. Yet, the cannabinoids that are not as prevalent in cannabis as THC or CBD the process is a bit trickier. Logically you cannot expect to use the same process of extracting the two most prevalent cannabinoids within cannabis when trying to extract a cannabinoid that is less prevalent within the plant. The process of extraction undoubtedly creates some degradation to the cannabinoid which is acceptable when you are dealing with the percentage makeup of THC and CBD. But, any degradation to the smaller cannabinoids such as CBC can be impactful.
The argument can also be had that people do not want to risk the effects that other cannabinoids can bring, such as drowsiness. Using the vitamin analogy, if I have cold I am not going to take a bunch of multi-vitamins. Instead, I am going to power dose vitamin C. If I have anxiety, psychosis or feeling nauseous I am going to want the full dose effect of CBD.
On the flip side, studies are being conducted and advancements are being made to the full spectrum extracts. Israel is leading the world right now in the study of Cannabinoid research particularly with full spectrum extracts. An interesting study was published out of the Lautenberg Center for General and Tumor Immunology in Jerusalem. The study examines the effectiveness of administering isolated cannabinoid extracts (a CBD-only formula) versus whole plant extracts (which contain the full range of the plant’s cannabinoid content). The study sought to compare the effectiveness of a completely purified CBD extract versus a full spectrum extract of cannabis flowers containing large quantities of CBD. The conclusion of the study was that the whole plant extract, which contained a large percentage of CBD but also contained traces of the other cannabinoids, proved far more effective than CBD-only solutions in alleviating inflammation and pain sensation. The study demonstrated that a whole plant extract, containing the entire range of cannabinoids present in raw cannabis, will continue to provide relief for inflammation as the dose is increased. When supplied as an isolated cannabinoid extract, CBD on its own yielded a bell-curve of effectiveness, which is not desirable for medical treatments seeking effective relief that corresponds with the dosage.
Personally, at this point in time I am all about the Isolate. Then again I am the guy who loves to power dose vitamin C at the onset of a cold. It has to always come down to what are you are treating and what are the results you want. Taking a full spectrum approach may be what’s best for you. You may have a found a full spectrum product that consistently provides the same results and that works for you.
After reading the results from the Lautenberg Center for General and Tumor Immunology study that I mentioned above I am certain my opinion will change at some point. I know for a fact that the discoveries and progress that is being made with cannabinoid research all of us will have to constantly reassess how to approach and manage our own wellness.
Keep an opened mind and stay tuned. New discoveries are on the horizon.

I have come to realize that the CBD industry is similar to ‘Wonderland’ and I’m Alice. Traditional marketing tools, such as, Google and Facebook will not allow you to advertise on their platforms. Keep in mind CBD extracted from hemp is legal to manufacture, buy and sell. CBD products are made to promote wellness. Yet, because of the threat CBD creates through its effectiveness large corporations and special interest groups that represent the pharmaceutical industry applys pressure on the Federal Government to keep the CBD Industry from taking off. If the CBD Industry were allowed the same opportunity as other “Legal” products this market would explode and the pharmaceutical industry would see market share in segments of their industry shrink. Corporations within the pharmaceutical industry are some of the largest donors to the campaigns of the bureaucrats in Washington D.C.
That my Friends is how ‘Wonderland’ came to be.
The Federal Government has tried on several occasions to over regulate or outright make CBD illegal. They were able reign in and over regulate CBD extracted from cannabis by keeping cannabis as a schedule 1 drug. But, the amazing people in the CBD Industry accomplished something that the Federal Government didn’t expect. The brilliant minds in the CBD Industry started to extract CBD from hemp and hemp is legal on the Federal level. The fact is, CBD extracted from hemp is no less effective than CBD extracted from cannabis. CBD is CBD… From the stand point of the Federal Government that had to hurt.
Not understanding that CBD manufacturers can extract CBD from hemp and also not realizing, at the time, that CBD from hemp is the same as CBD from cannabis the Federal Government had to do something. Resorting to its old tactics of applying pressure with the use of the IRS and FDA and Treasury the Federal Government has enlisted key corporations and banking institutions in its shadow war with the CBD Industry. This is why companies like Google and Facebook will not allow CBD companies to advertise on their platforms. These companies block keywords such as, CBD, Canabidiol, CBD Oil etc. Credit card processors such as Stripe and Square will not process transactions that involve CBD products. Banking institutions will also suspend companies and decline transactions that are associated with CBD transactions. One more time, allow me to remind everyone.. CBD hemp products are legal on both State and Federal levels.
Starting the CBD Body Shop I have personally experienced everything I mentioned above. When I was first starting out I met with others in the CBD Industry. Thankfully, the CBD Industry has become a community of entrepreneurs that look out for each other. I have been given advice and guidance from those who manufacture CBD enriched products to those who are like me and sell CBD products online. When I stepped into the CBD Wonderland I was prepared and knew what to expect. One day, ‘Up’ is ‘Down’ and the next day ‘Up’ is ‘Sideways’. I love this industry. The Federal Government has inadvertently architected an industry that only those with a weirdo’s determination will survive. After all, who is better suited to succeed in Wonderland than a Weirdo? Those seeking to jump into the CBD Industry I leave you with this quote:

The Fay Farm Serenity CBD Lotion:
I gave The Fay Farm Serenity CBD Lotion to my mother-in-law. She has been dealing with neuropathy for years. Some nights she says the pain in her legs is so bad that she cannot sleep. Her doctor has been trying different medicines but nothing seemed to work. After using the Serenity CBD Lotion the first night she swears it was the first time in a long while that she was able to sleep pain-free. She has absolutely fallen in love with this product. Not only does it take the pain away but she loves everything else about it. I am not making this up, she was telling me how she even loved the shape and color of the bottle. She went on to tell me that the consistency and thickness of the lotion was perfect and how when she pumps it out the lotion comes out looking like a ribbon.
The literature from The Fay Farm says the Serenity CBD Lotion helps with neurapathy, nerve pain and effective at relieving the symptoms of anxiety and stress.
Bottom line: The Fay Farm Serenity CBD Lotion gets the Weirdo endorsement!

The Fay Farm Healing Hemp CBD Lotion:
I gave my daughter The Fay Farm Healing Hemp CBD Lotion. She has been dealing with a recurring rash that pops up all over her body mainly on her arms and face. Her doctor diagnosed her as gluten intolerant. After cutting out all glutens from her diet the rash still appeared. Her doctor ran many more tests and nothing was coming back as definitive. The solution was to try a different combination of pills. The rash would either go away temporarily or not at all. My daughter had just made yet another appointment with her doctor when I gave her The Fay Farm Healing Hemp CBD Lotion. With nothing to lose she tried the Healing Hemp CBD Lotion. After a couple of hours she called me and said her rash was gone. She has been using The Fay Farm Healing Hemp CBD Lotion daily ever since then and her rash has not returned.
The Fay Farm says that their Healing Hemp CBD Lotion is also great for those seeking relief from auto-immune skin disorders, such as, eczema, psoriasis, etc. The Healing Hemp CBD Lotion can relieve burns, reduce scar tissue and keloids.
Bottom line: The Fay Farm Healing Hemp CBD Lotion also gets the Weirdo endorsement!

The Fay Farm Warming CBD Muscle Rub:
The Warming CBD Muscle Rub is another great product made by The Fay Farm. The Warming CBD Muscle Rub provides effective relief for all joint and muscle pain, such arthritis, fibromyalgia and sports injuries. I gave the Warming CBD Muscle Rub to the Weirdo Whisperer (my awesome wife). She put it on her lower back where she suffers chronic pain. After applying the Warming CBD Muscle Rub the pain was gone after about a half an hour. She continues to use the rub as a spot treatment on her back and shoulder. The Weirdo Whisperer not only likes this product for its healing effectiveness but for the soothing warm feeling she gets when applying it.
The Fay Farm says that the Warming CBD Muscle Rub can provide relief for migraines, cluster and tension headaches. I get the occasional migraine and the other day I had one coming on. This was the perfect opportunity to try the Warming CBD Muscle Rub out for myself. I rubbed some on my temples and forehead and after laying down for about an hour the migraine was gone. The Warming CBD Muscle Rub is an awesome product. Anytime I can avoid popping a pill and use an all-natural product such as The Fay Farms Warming CBD Muscle Rub I’m golden.
Bottom line: The Fay Farm Warming CBD Muscle Rub gets the Weirdo endorsement!

After speaking with Michael Yocco and testing The Fay Farm products I am impressed. Michael is creative, knowledgeable and like many of these pioneers in the CBD market he is bit of a weirdo himself. Welcome to the Weirdo Groove Michael!! I tested all The Fay Farm CBD products and can say this is the real deal. These products worked for me and the Weirdo Groove family. The Fay Farm puts a lot of energy into developing their products and the fact that they utilize herbs and other ingredients from their farm is the difference maker. This is what separates The Fay Farm from other companies making CBD enriched products.
Keep It Weird!
