On a flight from Portland to Chicago, I sat next to a man a few years younger than my grandpa. We made that stranger next to you plane conversation. As we were making our descent into O'hare, he asked me what kind of writer I am. I told him that I work in the cannabis industry. His face said to me that he was caught off guard. He asked me how I got started, and I told him that it was because I wanted to get off of my anti-depressants and that my grandpa has that complicated arthritis and I got him on CBD to get him off of the prescription drugs that were causing him so many different kinds of side effects. He told me that he also has that complicated arthritis and that he doesn't want to take prescription drugs either. That he and his wife are trying to live a very holistic and natural life. I told him that I'm not at all qualified as a healthcare person. That once he starts CBD, it's going to be experimenting to get the dosing right. I suggested he start with the smallest dose and see how he feels after that. If after a week he doesn't feel anything try increasing the dose.
I offered him a few suggestions of the products I've got my grandpa on.
He wrote the suggestions down and asked me so many more questions. I gave him my card and told him to email me and that I would send him the regime that I have my grandparents on.
He lives in southern Illinois, and he's nervous that the state of Illinois just legalized the consumption and what will that mean for the land that he's lived in his whole life.
The man in the row in front of us was eavesdropping and turned around to ask me a few more questions about how CBD could help him.
The world outside of the legal states is starving for the information that is living in your brain. This is why your CBD and cannabis business needs to blog or have a Pinterest presence. People deserve to hear the facts directly from the people who have been in the industry since before it was a legal industry. Our job of being the pioneers in this industry is to educate and create the future before big business gets their fingers in on it.
