YOUR GUIDE TO THE 14 BEST CBD & DELTA-8 BRANDS FOR SPRING/SUMMER 2023

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:46:26 GMT

Along with the legalization of THC in many US states, CBD has become a multi-billion dollar business. Hemp-derived CBD and Delta-8 products are legal in most states, and as Marijuana’s “little sisters,” CBD and the minor cannabinoids are not as psychoactively potent but still produce many of the other effects of weed. CBD is used to reap the benefits of cannabis for everything from pain relief to skin issues, while hemp-derived delta-8 has about two-thirds to one-half the psychoactive potency of traditional delta-9 THC but may produce similar pain relief and relaxation levels.The move toward cannabis normalization has provided the consumer with many choices for consumption. CBD can now be found in just about any form you might want – topical, edible, smokable. Delta-8 can also be consumed in multiple ways – even applied to hemp flower for traditional smoking. We weeded through the offerings to find the best. Here are our Spring 2023 picks for CBD and Delta-8 brands.#1 PLAIN JA...
