The youngest of the contemporary cannaholidays is also the most…sober.<\/p>\n
National CBD Day, observed on August 8, has only been around since 2018. It was established by North Carolina hemp brand cbdMD as a marketing tactic that quickly turned into something more substantial. Interest in the non-intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoid has surged in recent years, and CBD Day is about more than just moving merchandise \u2014 experts in the field are using it as an opportunity to raise awareness about plant-based medicine. In other words, it’s a weed fest for everyone.<\/p>\n
If you’re looking for ways to celebrate one of the most sought-after natural compounds this year, this roundup of highly-rated Oregon hemp-based products should get you started.<\/p>\n

Danodan tinctures may not have off-the-chart cannabinoid numbers, but they source organic hemp flowers from small farms in Oregon grown to have specific compound profiles, and the potency is simple.<\/p>\n SHOP: All Market of Choice locations and danodan.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n Red barn hemp<\/p>\n A backstory shared by many hemp brand founders is that they got into the business while searching for remedies for loved ones. This includes Red Barn Hemp.
