I work in a rec shop in CO, and more people are seeking CBD every day.

I am working on a few CBD projects in Canada. The more research we do the more we see how much it can help people with all sorts of ailments. Just trying to get the word out there.

Nice post :) Gotta love the benefits of Cannabis! Upvoted

Yeah, this could be very helpful to my dad. I'm wanting to get some in australia. I've found one company that sells them legally (for external use only).

Check out http://www.pharmahemp.si. I have been importing some of these products into Canada. I know it is a bit more difficult to import into Australia but worth checking out.
