My mornings have started with coffee ever since I can remember, and up until a few weeks ago it was the same brew everyday.
My local coffee shop always has fun drinks, but I pass them up for my regular cup of joe.
About two weeks ago my favorite barista gave me a cup for free, and then explained that she wanted me to try their new CBD coffee. I have heard so much about CBD, including its calming effects, so I was interested. I had a headache all morning and was excited to down my coffee before my hectic work day ahead. I had tried different marijuana products in the past, being in a state where marijuana is legal, but not found anything I liked. I didn’t think the CBD coffee would do much and I went on about my day. At the end of the day I recalled how seamlessly easy my meetings had gone and how there was a noticeable sense of calmness in my mind. I thought for sure it was just placebo and I went back the next morning to try another cup. The barista said they put full spectrum, high quality CBD oil in the coffee, and people have been loving it. I did some research and learned that CBD has been providing people relief from anxiety and stress, and I certainly could agree! Now every morning I get my energy boost with a nice dose of calm added. I have also noticed that the CBD takes the edge off the caffeine a little bit and settles my anxious jitters before big projects.
