What has been the best day of your life, so far? Mine happens to be the day my grandma gave cannabis a chance.

I was raised by a Boomer, in the South. My grandmother is the picture-perfect export of the 1950’s Housewife. We weren’t just Christians. We were Southern Baptists.

So let me tell you, getting my grandmother to consider full-spectrum CBD for her chronic pain wasn’t easy. I knew that whatever product I gave her had to work. Quickly. As a Budtender myself, I am often told by customers that “CDB doesn’t work”, which is a shame. It can be difficult to identify when CBD starts to work. I like to describe the feeling of a CBD “high” to be like taking an aspirin. You don’t feel especially different. You’re still lucid. But you feel the ABSENCE of an ache. Which I think is what all grandmas want, and I know a high-quality CBD edible can actually deliver on those prayers.

But for me and my Grandma, not just any edible CBD will do. I’m very impressed with the edible flexibility of Green Sugr. Green Sugr looks just like little paper “sugar” packets but in a minty color, so I don’t mistake it for real table sugar. I love the idea of putting CBD cannabis in my coffee in the morning. It just looks like old-school sugar. Brilliant.
