For those in chronic pain: The eucalyptus, wintergreen, and clove in this Wintergreen CBD Stick creates a spicy aroma that is a treat for the senses, while the cannabis extract goes to work on your inflammation and pain. Gillian Levy, CEO at Humboldt Apothecary, on the ratio of CDB to THC, “Because a topical product is being used on the skin and not taken internally, there will be no psychoactive effects from applying this product. We have chosen a 1:1 ratio because there is evidence that this is a highly effective ratio for pain and inflammation.” ($24) humboldt-apothecary.com
For the horoscope chaser who wants to dive deeper: These colorful, engaging, and informative books will delight every sign of the zodiac.
