As more Americans tout the health benefits of cannabidiol, commonly known as CBD, the market is seeing a rise in innovative goods that go far beyond classic tinctures. Here are five products on the market in Sarasota that can offer a new way for you (or your pet) to diversify your CBD experience.
Colorado Hemp Honey
Colorado Hemp Honey is full of cannabinoid hemp extracts that can help battle anxiety or offer pain relief. Whether it’s a dollop in your tea or drizzled on a parfait, honey is a creative medium for your CDB dosage that comes in flavors including Ginger Soothe and Tangerine Tranquility. The honey is available in two jar sizes and little travel sticks that can be used on the road. Available at Wild Ginger Apothecary, 6557 Superior Ave., Sarasota, (941) 312-5630, wildgingerapothecary.com
Curve Relief Tablets
Tincture bottles with small droppers can be difficult to use for people with hand mobility issues. Curve Relief Tablets have a wide lid that’s easy to grip, and the quick-dissolving pill can easily be taken orally. Each tablet contains potent CBD, for inflammation or pain relief, as well as other naturally occurring vitamins and minerals. They can be found at Second and Seed, 231 Second St., Sarasota, (941) 260-9971, secondandseed.com
Just CBD Gummies
These popular CBD treats have a variety of applications. They’re frequently used to help with relaxation or as an after-dinner dessert that doubles as a sleep aid. Parents of children who struggle with ADHD, autism, anxiety or seizure disorders have also reported benefits from these bite-sized cannabinoids. Find a variety of flavors from watermelon to sour apple at Trusted CBD, 1375 Main St., Sarasota, (941) 330-2933, trustedcbd.com
Brahma Cooking Oil
For those of you curious about the culinary opportunities of CBD, try Brahma cooking oil. Available in both algae and avocado varieties, it’s ideal for salad dressings, adding to homemade guacamole or creating your own signature sauce. Just be mindful not to raise the temperature above 340 degrees Fahrenheit or you risk destroying the active chemical compounds. Available at Second and Seed, 231 Second St., Sarasota, (941) 260-9971, secondandseed.com
Sunmed Dog Biscuits and Bits
Cats and dogs also have active cannabinoid receptors, and CBD benefits for your pets can include pain and inflammation relief and stress management. One popular way locals use Sunmed pet treats is to help calm their animals during Florida’s frequent thunderstorms. The soothing snacks, which come in both a crunchy bacon biscuit or chewable bits in lamb and beef flavors, can be found at multiple Your CBD Store locations throughout the area. cbdrx4u.com
