The ABCs of CBD

You and your fur babies can benefit from this wonder compound

In recent years, you’ve all probably heard about the benefits of the compound CBD, which is derived from the hemp plant and also produced through our own body’s endocannabinoid system. While we can produce CBD naturally, a supplement is often needed these days to give our nervous systems and immune systems a big boost. 

Fortunately, those of us in East Cobb have an elite shop led by experts to source the very best CBD products. Your CBD Store, the largest retailer franchise in the world, is backed and overseen by plant scientists and carries the first USDA-certified organic products. “All this being said, Your CBD Store East Cobb is a locally owned single franchise store, which values educating our local community more than anything else,” adds store manager Nathan Abbott. 

For the pets and family issue, East Cobb Lifestyle caught up with Abbott and the rest of the store team to find out more about CBD. 

Did popularity of CBD for humans and pets happen at different times?
The Endocannabinoid System was discovered in the 1970s. In 2018, when the Farm Bill legalized hemp nationwide, the knowledge was already rooted in the industry. Therefore, CBD products for both humans and pets were released at the same time. 

What are the key benefits of CBD for our pets? 
Studies have shown that CBD may have a variety of positive effects for pets, including managing pain, anxiety, controlling seizures and reducing inflammation. 

What have your customers shared with you about how CBD helps their pets? 
The majority of our pet customers have shared that it helps with anxiety, mobility, pain and overall quality of life. Often, we hear that it really helps with pets suffering from storm anxiety, skin irritation and grooming anxiety. Our Chillin Out treats, which fly off the shelves, are great for these kinds of issues and situations. 

One of our most loyal customers uses CBD for both themselves and their 13-year-old dog. In their experience, the difference is like night and day. The dog gets around the house with ease, no longer gets anxious and is all-around happier and healthier. Additionally, they were able to even replace some of the dog’s medication with our CBD pet products. 

What forms of CBD do you offer? 
We offer a wide range of products for humans and their pets. People love our gummies and water solubles for relaxing and unwinding. Many of our oil-based tinctures are USDA certified for both our human lines and pet lines. We even have seltzers for a non-alcoholic, zero-sugar, refreshing treat with just five calories. 

We offer free consultations and love to educate! Our staff has more than a decade of experience in the industry, which is very uncommon especially here in Georgia. We welcome you and your fur babies alike to our store.

For more information, please call 678-741-8990 or visit 2550 Sandy Plains Suite 360, Marietta GA 30066.
