Let It Snow: CBD For Winter Sport Athletes and Enthusiasts

Do you remember your first day on the slopes? Maybe you remember the day after even better…sore muscles, bruised bumm and all. Skiing and snowboarding are some of winters favorite activities, and as the season approaches, the preparation starts. Whether you are adding new skis, poles or bindings to your arsenal, perhaps you should consider adding CBD to the mix too. 

Winter sports and activities, especially skiing and snowboarding, can take a toll on the body. Whether it’s just over worked muscles or a bruise or two from a fall, the day following your mountain adventure could be a pretty sore one. CBD, also known as cannabidiol, has been shown to demonstrate anti-inflammatory properties that can lead to pain management and reduction. Having CBD ready-to-go in your winter coat pocket could be a life-saver for getting you back on the mountain in good time. 

What Is CBD?

CBD, also known as cannabidiol, is one of many compounds found in cannabis and hemp plants. Cannabidiol is still in early stages of scientific research and studies, but thus far the anecdotal evidence is looking promising. CBD works directly with the human endocannabinoid system or ECS. This direct interaction can lead to reduced pain and inflammation through CBD’s communication with receptors transmitting messages to the brain. CBD attaches itself to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the ECS which are responsible for sending transmissions to and from the brain and central nervous system. The ECS is largely responsible for bodily functions like mood, appetite, pain management, sleep and more. The interaction CBD has with the ECS and its receptors can go far beyond potential pain management for the avid winter sportsman. 

How Could CBD Benefit Your Ski Season? 

• Pain & Inflammation Control: CBD can be a great recovery tool for skiers and boarders with sore muscles. Use a CBD topical after a day on the mountain for relief, and/or take some CBD oil before you start your run to keep the pain at bay all day.
• Stress & Anxiety: Whether you are an adrenaline junky or not, winter sports can surely cause a thrill, but sometimes an accompanying factor is stress. If it’s your first day on the mountain or you are anxious about tackling that new run, CBD can help to keep the nerves at bay while allowing you head to stay clear. Unlike CBD’s cousin THC, there are no psychoactive side effects to CBD. 
• Sleep & Prepare: Having a good day on the slopes usually means you had a decent sleep the night before. Lacking sleep can lead to injury or worse when skiing, so waking refreshed is important. CBD can help to promote a restful sleep, leaving you ready for the day ahead. 

CBD to Ease Exercise Inflammation & Soreness

Whether your brand new and facing your first bunny slope, or you are carving through fresh powder on a black diamond run, there is nothing quite as thrilling as gliding over the snow and feeling the fresh air in your face. The excitements of either sport can be a bit daunting for new patrons, but the worry about next day debilitating soreness can be put at ease with CBD. 

CBD is one of many compounds found in sativa cannabis and hemp plants. Cannabidiol is in early stages of scientific research and studies, but thus far the benefits are looking promising. CBD works in direct conjunction with the human endocannabinoid system or ECS. This direct interaction can lead to reduced pain and inflammation through CBD’s communication with receptors transmitting messages to the brain. CBD attaches itself to the CB1 and CB2 receptors in the ECS which are responsible for sending transmissions to the brain and central nervous system and could aid in reducing aches, pains and inflammation. CBD can be utilized through a variety of methods to promote pain management and relief for winter sports athletes and enthusiast. 

CBD Products for Winter Sports Enthusiasts

There are a variety of products available today when it comes to CBD. Some of the most popular are CBD oils and tinctures, gummies and edibles, and topicals like creams. CBD oils are great for rapid relief, consumed sublingually and enter the bloodstream almost immediately. CBD edibles are a great choice for on-the-go consumption, usually perfectly dosed so you can find relief mountain-side if necessary. CBD topicals are useful for targeted application, meaning you can apply them to specific areas that are in need of relief. With the wide variety of CBD product options available, finding a reliable source is an important factor to consider. 

Tribe CBD was created with the active lifestyle in mind. With quality and care, from seed to sale, Tribe CBD has a variety of full-spectrum CBD products that perfect for winter sports athletes. From their Cold Therapy CBD Cream, great for targeted topical application to their CBD Energy Shots, made with caffeine and ginseng for an added boost. 

Turn to Tribe CBD for your winter sports preparation. Whether you are looking for a quality full-spectrum CBD oil or something a little more unique, like CBD Sleep Shots or CBD Energy Shots, Tribe CBD has something for everyone excited for the snow to fly. Consuming CBD before you hit the slopes could keep the pain of a bumpy run at bay.  Similarly, using a CBD topical or taking a dose of Tribe CBD after your day on the slopes, could help your body recover faster and allow you to get back on the mountain as soon as possible.

Everyone could use more blueberries in their diet, so why not smash a few into this new gin fizz cocktail? While you could add blueberries to many classic drinks, they blend in perfectly with the flavors in gin. Since gin already has traces of juniper berries, these sweet & tart aromatics mix wonderfully with a batch of antioxidant-rich blueberries. 

For an extra dose of calm, Tribe CBD decided to add a little hemp extract to this fruit-forward cocktail. All you need is one dropperful of CBD oil to add plenty of chill to your brilliant blueberry bev. 

Blueberry Gin Fizz Recipe 

Everyone agrees that blueberries are a superfood, but what about spirits like gin? Surprisingly, when compared with other liquors, gin earns high marks from many nutritionists. Most of gin’s supposedly healthy features come from heavy traces of juniper berries. Current estimates suggest juniper has at least 80 antioxidant compounds, many of which don’t degrade in the distillation process. 

One of the most notable benefits of juniper seems to be its effect on the circadian rhythm. Researchers claim juniper has certain compounds that help naturally ease you into bed, which makes gin an excellent choice for a nightcap. 

However, we’d reckon it’s still safer to rely on a non-alcoholic supplement like CBD oil before bed rather than gin. FYI: Tribe CBD now sells all-natural CBD Sleep Shots with both hemp extract and melatonin. If you’re looking for a non-boozy way to get to bed, be sure to give this product a try. 

Ingredients

• 2 oz gin 
• ½ oz lemon juice
• ½ oz simple syrup
• ¼ cup blueberries, fresh
• Seltzer water
• Rosemary or thyme sprigs, garnish
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil

Directions

• Pour gin, lemon juice, simple syrup, and blueberries into a cocktail shaker
• Muddle until blueberries are well smashed
• Add ice and shake for a few seconds
• Strain or pour into a pre-chilled rocks glass
• Top with seltzer water
• Garnish with Tribe CBD oil and thyme or rosemary

Even if you’re not a fan of rosemary’s aromatics, you should consider easing this herb into your daily life. There are dozens of scientific studies that show rosemary is one of Mother Nature’s best brain boosters. For instance, in one trial, researchers found that students who took a test while smelling rosemary essential oil scored better than other groups. 

There’s also mounting evidence that rosemary may play a crucial role in restoring hair loss. So, the next time you’re shopping for shampoo, be sure it has some rosemary in it! 

Will CBD Make Me Smarter? 

While it seems like rosemary could boost your brainpower, we still don’t know CBD’s effects on intelligence. However, it’s clear that CBD oil will make going to school way less stressful. Indeed, one study out of Japan found that CBD helped high school students tame social anxiety versus placebo. Chances are, if you’re less stressed in school, you will absorb more information. 

Whether you’re nervous before a big test or a big date, Tribe CBD oil should help keep your stress in check.

If you love whiskey, coffee, and cream, then you’ve got to try an authentic Irish Coffee. But don’t worry; you don’t have to travel to Dublin to make this invigorating brew. With just a few simple ingredients, you could mix a mug of steamy Irish Coffee at home.

Oh yeah, and don’t forget to mix in a dropperful of Tribe CBD oil for extra calm. While it may seem like CBD would clash with caffeine, many customers claim these compounds complement each other. 

Irish Coffee Cocktail Recipe 

Interestingly, coffee cocktails were around long before the Irish Coffee was first introduced. According to the ever-reliable Wikipedia, Viennese residents could enjoy coffee-based drinks with cream and alcohol as far back as the 19th century. It also appears these coffee concoctions were quite fashionable in Belle Epoque Paris. 

However, most people believe the Irish Coffee we know today was invented sometime in the 1940s at what is now Shannon Airport. According to most accounts, a bartender named Joe Sheridan started spiking coffee with whiskey…and people seem to have enjoyed it!

One of the many passengers who fell in love with this cocktail was American journalist Stanton Delaplane. Indeed, Delaplane enjoyed the Irish Coffee so much that he decided to add it to his bar’s menu in San Francisco. And, as the saying goes, “the rest is history.”

Ingredients

• 1 ½ oz Irish whiskey 
• ½ oz simple syrup 
• ~ 2 oz black coffee
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil
• Heavy cream, to top

Directions 

• Pour whiskey and simple syrup into a glass mug
• Top with just enough hot coffee to almost fill your glass
• Pour heavy cream over the back of a bar spoon to create a top layer
• Drizzle Tribe CBD oil as a garnish

Although the Irish Coffee is inextricably linked with the Emerald Isle, that doesn’t mean you can’t add a few “foreign flourishes.” Indeed, many people swap out Irish whiskey for other spirits to spice up this simple recipe.  

For example, if you’re craving a little Caribbean flair, why not add a pinch of Jamaican rum? To stay closer to home, consider adding a bit of Scotch whiskey to your “Scottish coffee.” Lastly, if you want to down your java like a Russian, go ahead and add some vodka. 

By the way, people who want some extra “pep” can always add a shot of espresso to their Irish Coffee. You could also check out our previous recipe for a CBD Espresso Martini for more cocktail inspiration. 

Tired Of Caffeine Jitters? Add CBD To Your Coffee! 

It may seem strange to put CBD oil in your coffee, but hundreds of customers are in love with this crazy combo. Apparently, CBD’s anti-anxiety properties help temper caffeine’s energizing effects. So, instead of feeling antsy after a cup of CBD coffee, most people report a wonderful sense of “calm alertness.”

If you’ve stopped drinking coffee due to undesirable “jittery” side effects, consider adding a dropperful of Tribe CBD oil to your next cup of Joe.

When you see a Green Mile cocktail for the first time, you may assume it has a tart flavor profile. Interestingly, this fruity concoction has zero citrus or green apple notes. Instead, the Green Mile is a refreshing tropical mix ideal for fans of melon, coconut, and pineapple. Indeed, you could say this drink is a fun melon-infused riff on the famous piña colada. 

To make this drink extra “green,” we couldn’t help mixing in a dropperful of Tribe CBD oil. Don’t worry; you won’t get “high” with our CBD-infused Green Mile. However, this non-intoxicating cannabinoid will help keep you calm.

Green Mile CBD Cocktail 

If you happen to have a lot of cash lying around, then you may want to consider splurging on a Yubari King melon garnish for your Green Mile. This unique cantaloupe variety is considered one of the rarest—and hence most expensive—melons in Japan’s luxury fruit market. Get this: two Yubari King melons sold for ~ 5 million Japanese yen (or 45,500 USD) in 2019. 

So, what makes the Yubari King the “king” of melons? Well, a large part of it has to do with scarcity. Since authentic Yubari King melons could only be grown in Hokkaido, there aren’t many to go around. Another aspect has to do with the attention to detail gardeners place on making the perfect melon. From choosing the right seeds to manicuring the melon’s skin, a lot of time and effort goes into this pricey fruit. 

As for taste, foodies say the Yubari King has a sublime sweetness. Considering the price some people paid for this fruit, we sure hope it tastes good! 

Ingredients

• 1 oz of melon liqueur 
• ~ 3 oz of pineapple juice 
• ¾ oz of Malibu coconut rum 
• ¼ oz of Cointreau
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil

Directions 

• Pour melon liqueur, pineapple juice, coconut rum, and Cointreau in a cocktail shaker
• Add ice and shake for a few seconds
• Strain into a pre-chilled hurricane glass 
• Top with Tribe CBD oil

Speaking of “green,” it may surprise you just how much money is flowing into the new hemp market. Recent reports have shown the US hemp industry hit over $5 billion in 2021. Impressively, most financial experts believe the CBD industry has more room to run. In fact, recent projections suggest the global CBD market could reach $55 billion before 2030!

Even if you don’t own a wellness clinic, you’ve probably considered adding some high-quality CBD products to your portfolio. One of the easiest ways to offer customers CBD is to work with a hemp wholesale partner like Tribe CBD. That’s right, Tribe CBD now offers affordable bulk delivery for all of our hottest CBD goods. Whatever products you’re interested in, our team will find a way to fulfill your orders. 

For more info on buying Tribe CBD’s goodies in bulk, be sure to fill out a wholesale request on this webpage. You could also reach out to our staff with any questions about getting involved in the CBD market. 

Does Hemp Have The “All Green” In North America? 

Many newcomers to the hemp market have questions about CBD’s legality. Unfortunately, some reports still conflate the terms “cannabis,” “hemp,” and “marijuana,” even though these describe different plants. Here’s what you need to know: If hemp has less than 0.3 percent delta 9 THC, it’s legal in the USA. For more detailed info on the legality of hemp, we’d recommend reading the 2018 US Farm Bill. 

Please remember that Tribe CBD sends all of our products to third-party labs to test for THC content. We will never send you a tincture, edible, or topical that doesn’t meet America’s current hemp guidelines.

The Bikini Martini is as fun and fashionable as its namesake swimsuit. Even if you’re not near the coast, this tropical-themed drink should put you in a “sandy” state of mind. Anyone who loves drinks like the piña colada will adore this tropical take on a classic martini. 

Oh yeah, please don’t forget to add a pinch of Tribe’s CBD oil to this colorful cocktail. Even a half-dropperful of our high-quality hemp extract is enough to add serious mellow to your Bikini Martini. 

CBD Bikini Martini Recipe

Like the Tequila Sunrise or the B-52 shot, the Bikini Martini is a layered drink that’s all about presentation. This drink wasn’t just named for its beach-themed flavors—it’s literally supposed to resemble a bikini.

Thankfully, it doesn’t take a ton of skill to build this cocktail. In fact, the Bikini Martini is one of the easiest layered drinks to make at home. As long as you have a standard martini glass, the grenadine will naturally fall to the bottom, thus creating the desired “bikini effect.” Indeed, if you’ve already tried our CBD Tequila Sunrise, you should have no issues creating an eye-catching Bikini Martini. 

If you want to learn more about mixing layered drinks—or you’re on the hunt for more tropical cocktails—be sure to read through our previous recipe for the CBD Barbados Sunrise. 

Ingredients

• 2 oz vodka 
• 1 ½ oz coconut rum
• 4 oz pineapple juice
• ¼ oz grenadine
• ½ dropperful Tribe CBD oil

Directions

• Pour vodka, coconut rum, Tribe CBD oil, and pineapple juice in a cocktail shaker
• Add ice and shake for a few seconds 
• Strain into a chilled martini glass
• Slowly pour grenadine into the center

Nowadays, we all know what a bikini is, but do you know what “bikini” means? Interestingly, there’s a coral reef in the Marshall Islands called Bikini Atoll. While designer Louis Réard promoted the bikini in the 1940s, American scientists were testing the nuclear bomb in this area. Apparently, Réard capitalized on these headlines to draw comparisons with his own “earth-shattering” swimsuit. 

Although the bikini has become more accepted nowadays, it’s still a bit too risqué for some areas. For instance, police in the Maldives recently arrested a woman for wearing a bikini outside a beach area. So, if you’re going to travel to a foreign destination, always double-check your resort’s swimwear policy. 

Move Over CBD—CBG Is On The Runway! 

CBD may be the darling of the hemp cannabinoid market., but that doesn’t mean secondary cannabinoids aren’t making a big “fashion statement.” For instance, more customers are talking about all the wonderful benefits of a novel non-psychoactive cannabinoid called CBG. Sometimes called the “mother cannabinoid,” CBG is the parent cannabinoid for both THC and CBD. Although we don’t know as much about CBG as CBD, preliminary reports suggest it may have similar healing properties. 

If you’re interested in learning more about what CBG may offer, you’ve got to check out this previous blog post. You could also take a peek at Tribe’s new CBG oil capsules here.

You don’t need us to tell you that TikTok trends can be pretty crazy. Take romaine lettuce tea as an example. Yes, there are thousands (or millions?) of people worldwide who are gulping slimy, stinky cups of lettuce tea. The reason? Supposedly lettuce tea has remarkable sedative effects.

If you’re someone who wants to try this TikTok trend, then we’d recommend following our recommendations. Not only will our recipe taste better, but the extra pinch of Tribe CBD oil may actually help with sleep.

CBD Lettuce Tea Recipe 

Sorry to disappoint all of you TikTok fans, but there’s little evidence that lettuce tea will help you fall asleep. The only “science” behind this trend comes from a South Korean study that examined lettuce’s effects on rats. While this research showed promising results, scientists were using incredibly high concentrations of lettuce extract. Also, there’s still no evidence these sedating effects work on humans. 

On the positive side, researchers believe the lettuce compounds lactucin and lactucopicrin have potential sedative properties. While these chemicals are in romaine lettuce, there won’t be enough to knock you out in just a few leaves. We’ll have to wait for more research into lettuce seed extract to determine how to use this plant for sleep health. 

With all this in mind, there are no adverse risks associated with trying a glass of romaine lettuce tea. As long as you wash your romaine leaves—and have a good gag reflex!—feel free to give this trendy drink a try. 

Ingredients 

• Two or three romaine lettuce leaves, washed 
• 8 oz boiling water 
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil
• A few drops of food-safe mint essential oil
• Mint sprig

Directions

• Pour boiling water into a tea mug with pre-washed lettuce leaves
• Let steep for about 5 minutes
• Mix in mint essential oil and Tribe CBD oil
• Add mint sprig, enjoy

The jury’s still out on whether romaine lettuce has significant sedative properties. However, there are science-backed strategies that could help you overcome insomnia. 

For starters, you’ve got to shut off all your screens a few hours before bed. Although we’re still learning about the effects of blue light, most research suggests too much exposure to these screens can disrupt our circadian rhythm. So, instead of staring at your smartphone late in the day, pull out a book or take a warm bath. 

You may also want to consider snacking on kiwis or cherries right before bed. Both of these fruits are jam-packed with nutrients that seem to help promote a night of restful sleep. In fact, one study found people who ate about two kiwis an hour before bed had better sleep quality than those who didn’t. There’s also evidence that suggests cherries have all-natural traces of the sleep hormone melatonin.

Get Some Real Sleep Therapy with Tribe’s CBD Sleep Shots

A growing body of evidence suggests CBD’s anti-anxiety properties may help soothe you before bedtime. To help maximize CBD’s sedative properties, Tribe CBD recently created a proprietary CBD Sleep Shot blend. In addition to our high-quality hemp extract, each of these broad-spectrum shots contains traditionally soothing herbs and melatonin. About 30 minutes after you take one of these shots, we bet your eyelids will start drooping!

The 70s was a wacky decade for desserts. After all, this was the era that saw a resurgence in the “Wacky Cake!” Anyone fortunate enough to be in the US Virgin Islands during the 70s may have tasted one of the decade’s best dessert beverages: the Bushwacker. With its mouthwatering blend of chocolate, coffee, and cream, is it any surprise this drink soon became a staple on sun-drenched beaches?  

On its own, the Bushwacker should put you in a “St. Thomas state of mind.” However, a touch of Tribe CBD oil never hurts! 

CBD Bushwacker Recipe

Unlike most classic cocktails, we know plenty of details surrounding the Bushwacker’s creation. As hinted in the intro, this cocktail first emerged in the US Virgin Islands in a St. Thomas bar called Sapphire Pub. Interestingly, the name “Bushwacker” refers to a furry friend who frequented this beachside destination.

Immediately after this drink appeared, other bars in the area started making their own Bushwacker renditions. Despite this drink’s St. Thomas origins, the Bushwacker has become a big deal on Florida’s bar scene. For instance, there’s now an annual Bushwacker Festival in Pensacola Beach. Also, Florida was the first US state to create a line of pre-mixed Bushwacker products.

In case you were wondering, Sapphire Beach Bar is open for business…and we’re sure they serve plenty of Bushwackers every day! 

Ingredients 

• 1 oz rum
• 1 oz Kahlúa 
• 1 oz crème de cacao
• 2 oz cream of coconut 
• 2 oz milk
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil
• ~ 2 cups of ice
• Whipped cream, optional 

Directions

• Pour ice, rum, Kahlúa, crème de cacao, cream of coconut, and milk into a blender

• Blitz for a few seconds until smooth

• Pour into a pre-chilled serving glass

• Top with whipped cream and Tribe CBD oil

Let’s be honest: we’re not counting calories when we’re sipping a Bushwacker. If you’re planning on savoring this beach cocktail, why not make it count with extra toppings? For extra deliciousness, many people add a drizzle of decadent chocolate syrup and a Maraschino cherry.  

For those who want “healthy-ish” garnishes, consider preparing a few dark chocolate shavings beforehand and sprinkling them on top. As strange as it may sound, 70 percent dark chocolate is a legit superfood! Find out more about the wonders of dark chocolate on our CBD chocolate martini recipe.  

Lastly, if you want to give your Bushwacker some serious crunch, why not add some almond shavings or walnuts to your drink. Both of these nuts are full of healthful nutrients and minerals, especially omega-3 fatty acids. 

“Ice Cream” For Your Achy Knees! — Give Tribe’s CBD Topical A Try

While drinking a Bushwacker should cool you down, it isn’t the best remedy for achy joints. When your muscles are screaming after an intense workout, you should spread some of our CBD Cold Therapy cream for localized relief. Believe it or not, scientists say we have cannabinoid receptors all along our skin. This means CBD topicals may provide targeted relief for common complaints like joint pain, neck strain, and backaches.

The ingredients list in the Blinker cocktail often makes people do a double-take. Who would ever think of mixing bold, spicy rye with citric grapefruit juice? Although it may sound crazy, this cocktail has been pleasantly surprising drinkers since at least the 1930s. Thanks to the recent revival in classic cocktails, it has never been a better time to taste this brilliant beverage. 

For a little extra relaxation, please don’t forget to mix in a dropperful of Tribe CBD oil. 

CBD Blinker Cocktail Recipe 

Before you guzzle that glass of grapefruit juice, you have to double-check it won’t have any unintended side effects. If you haven’t already heard, grapefruit can interfere with the absorption rate of numerous medications. 

For some strange reason, this citrus fruit contains furanocoumarins, which impede the liver’s natural ability to break down pills. Anyone who has to take daily medications or OTCs must speak with a healthcare professional before adding grapefruit to their diet. 

For those who can’t enjoy grapefruit juice, there are a few creative ways you could mix the Blinker. For instance, you could replace grapefruit juice with OJ for a sweeter experience. Alternatively, try adding a little lime juice for extra tartness. While these ingredients won’t give you the taste of an authentic Blinker, they will put you in the ballpark. 

Ingredients

• 2 oz rye whiskey 
• 1 oz grapefruit juice
• ½ oz grenadine 
• 1 dropperful Tribe CBD oil
• Lemon peel or grapefruit wedge for garnish 

Directions 

• Pour rye whiskey, grapefruit juice, grenadine, and Tribe CBD oil into a cocktail shaker
• Add ice and shake for a few seconds 
• Strain into a pre-chilled coupe glass
• Garnish with a lemon peel, if desired

Although lemon is the traditional garnish for the Blinker, please don’t let tradition stifle your creativity. Indeed, many people tailor their Blinker garnish to the season. For instance, when your supermarket has fresh raspberries, why not add a spear of these berries and put them on top of your Blinker? For those who’d like to stick with the citrus theme, you could always use lime, orange, or (of course) grapefruit in lieu of lemons.

Also, it’s worth mentioning that many people prefer drinking the Blinker as a nightcap in the cooler months. For a little autumnal flair, consider garnishing with freshly grated nutmeg. Sure, this may not be a traditional post-Thanksgiving treat, but it’s festive and relaxing. 

Is CBD Good For Eye Health?

While CBD shows many potential benefits, there’s no clear evidence it can help your eyes. In fact, the American Academy of Ophthalmology now claims CBD oil may slightly increase intraocular pressure (IOP). This means CBD may not be suitable for glaucoma patients. 

Please keep in mind that this data is preliminary. There’s still a great deal we don’t know about CBD oil’s effect on eye health. However, if you have a pre-existing eye condition, we’d recommend speaking with your ophthalmologist before adding Tribe CBD oil to your diet.

Whether it’s relieving anxiety and depression or providing a better alternative to melatonin to combat insomnia, there’s no shortage of the physical and mental benefits provided by CBD. However, understanding the difference of CBD verses CBD with THC is something you should know.

As you’re perusing CBD products online or in brick and mortar stores, you may notice that some items contain various amounts of THC. Should you consider these options, and what are the pros and cons?

Let’s get down to brass tacks to give you an understanding of standalone CBD products versus CBD with THC options.

What is CBD?

CBD: What You Need to Know

If you’re new to the world of cannabidiol, let’s quickly clear up some misconceptions. Unlike its THC counterpart, CBD is not a psychoactive agent providing a “high” sensation. It’s extracted from cannabis plants, often diluted with coconut or hemp seed oil, and can provide relief for everything from muscle soreness to cancer medication side effects.

Your dog can even take it.

CBD Oil for Dogs: Benefits, Side Effects, and Dosage

In a nutshell, CBD “supports the natural neurotransmitter in our bodies. CBD binds to a receptor that triggers serotonin release leading to a reduction in stress and anxiousness, which balances moods.”

CBD is legal in the United States, so it’s perfectly kosher to have it shipped to your doorstep or purchased at major retailers like Whole Foods. You can even travel with it domestically.

The benefits of cannabidiol can’t be overstated, but what about CBD items possessing THC as well?

CBD with THC: What You Need to Know

CBD products with THC should be treated differently than CBD-only items.

Depending on how much THC is in each product, you could find yourself relatively “high,” euphoric, or sleepy, making the CBD-THC combo ideal for falling asleep or back to sleep.

It can also be an excellent way to unwind at the end of the day, similar to a glass of red wine (but without the unwanted calories and red teeth).

CBD with THC can also provide a one-two punch considering research has shown they both help with anxiety, nausea, and various types of pain and discomfort.

There are a few issues to keep in mind if you decide THC with CBD is right for you. Cannabinoids store in your body fat so that the THC can show up on potential drug tests, which could cost you your job depending on your state’s laws.   

You’ll also want to adhere to the cannabis maxim of “You can always have more, but you can never have less.” That is to say, start with a minimal amount versus eating a 50-milligram chocolate bar right out of the gate. Not sure how many milligrams to begin with? Consult your doctor, and dispensaries always have experts to assist you online, over the phone, and in the store.

Most importantly, it’s critical to check your state laws regarding THC products of any amount because what’s perfectly legal in one state could be highly illegal in another.

Caliva broadens its cannabis delivery reach and service offering. 

License No: C10-0000441-LIC

Legend has it the first pizza delivery occurred in 1889 when Queen Margherita of Italy stopped in Naples during a trip. Looking to enjoy local fare, which meant pizza, the queen’s band tracked down the godfather of modern pizza, Raffaele Esposito, to bake and personally deliver a fresh pie to her doorstep.

Fast-forward more than 130 years later, and home delivery is as popular as ever, including cannabis products. One such company that’s been at the forefront of Bay Area cannabis delivery from the start is Caliva, and up through August 24, its process had been akin to the traditional pizza delivery model: place an order online or over the phone, and the cheesy deliciousness arrived as soon as the establishment could get it to you. 

While Caliva still offers this facility-to-doorstep delivery, it recently launched an Instacart-like service so cannabis connoisseurs can schedule the exact day and time they desire their products. In addition, the company has expanded its Bay Area footprint to include previously underrepresented cities and counties for additional convenience.

Cannabis on your terms

Caliva’s new and enhanced delivery seeks to provide patrons with multiple options to fit their needs.

The company has enabled customers to order online for in-store retrieval for years, and curbside pickup gained popularity when the virus put the Bay Area on lockdown. Those orders had to be picked up by the following closing day at the latest; otherwise, the items were returned to the shelves. With Caliva’s new offering, customers can schedule up to a week in advance for delivery of the products they desire, similar to DoorDash for dining.

The company also launched Mobile Express Delivery in May. Currently available on the Peninsula with Bay Area expansion soon planned, the mobile service allows customers to order products from a preselected menu of top selling products for delivery within the hour.

Bay Area expansion

While delivery has enabled the Jay-Z- and Joe Montana-backed company to provide its offerings throughout the Bay Area, it’s expanding into more regions this summer.

Its San Jose hub now provides scheduled delivery to Hayward, Pleasanton, Walnut Creek, Berkeley/Oakland, Gilroy/Morgan Hill and Santa Cruz. The Brisbane hub now covers Marin and coastal communities.

The expansion should be a boon for cannabis-delivery deserts. Areas such as the Peninsula, Walnut Creek, Marin, coastal areas and others tend to have limited access to dispensaries. Caliva’s cannabis delivery options could prevent these customers from making arduous and special trips to far-reaching cities.

“We’re all about convenience and accessibility at Caliva. We know that cannabis can be intimidating or confusing for some customers, so we’re doing everything we can to make the purchasing and ordering process as easy as possible, which is why we’re so excited about the launch of our Scheduled Delivery Service,” said Steve Allan, Caliva President. “Not only is this a new offering for our current customers, but we’re able to provide this service in 96 new cities across the state, meaning we can now deliver our products to new patrons that we couldn’t reach before, covering almost 50% of California’s population. We’re looking ahead to the rollout of our next innovative offerings: Mobile Express and drive-up services, which will give customers two additional avenues for accessing our products.”

Complete cannabis connoisseurs

While Mobile Express Delivery and Bay Area expansion are new, Caliva’s claim as one of the largest and most comprehensive cannabis providers in California is not hyperbole.

After opening its doors in 2015, Caliva’s menu offers an extensive selection of bestselling brands and products across all categories, including its expanding lineup of first-party products. These proprietary products derive from Caliva’s homegrown indoor flower that uses natural organic practices tested for compliance and safety.

Half a decade’s worth of experience bodes well for novice and veteran cannabis consumers alike. The company employs remote consultants available via phone calls or video chats to answer questions and provide suggestions. There’s also a customer service live chat option on the website for order issues.

Compelling data back Caliva’s assertion as the most comprehensive dispensary in California. In 2020, it expanded its in-house, direct consumer delivery services to include almost 20 counties and more than 220 cities throughout the Bay Area and Los Angeles. This means approximately 5 million more consumers, or nearly half of the state’s population, have home delivery at their fingertips.

And back home at its flagship store in San Jose, one of the first cities in the nation to shelter in place and institute strict social-distancing guidelines, a drive-up service launched on Labor Day weekend to give patrons an additional means for accessing items in the safest manner possible.

The drive-up service, while currently functional and eventually open from 11 AM to 7 PM once fully up and running, is another way Caliva provides “cannabis on your terms.” Without leaving your car, drive-up is a safe and convenient avenue for consumers to access cannabis while respecting social distancing guidelines but still getting full customer service benefits.

The company said it continues to look for innovative ways to make cannabis- and wellness-product shopping just as comfortable and familiar as traditional drive-through experiences.
