CBD Chocolate
We aren’t doctors nor do we play ones on TV.
Starting with a one-off request from a customer, we started adding pharmacy-grade 100% CBD isolate — with 0.3% THC maximum per Texas State Law — to our chocolates. We had other customers try it, they told others they enjoyed it, and the demand has never fallen.
CBD is the non-psychoactive cousin of THC, and — when derived from hemp (like ours) — is totally legal.
Here’s what the New York Times has to say about CBD:
Cannabidiol, or CBD, is the lesser-known child of the cannabis sativa plant; its more famous sibling, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the active ingredient in pot that catapults users’ “high.” With roots in Central Asia, the plant is believed to have been first used medicinally — or for rituals — around 750 B.C., though there are other estimates too.
Cannabidiol and THC are just two of the plant’s more than 100 cannabinoids. THC is psychoactive, and CBD may or may not be, which is a matter of debate. THC can increase anxiety; it is not clear what effect CBD is having, if any, in reducing it. THC can lead to addiction and cravings; CBD is being studied to help those in recovery.

CBD is advertised as providing relief for anxiety, depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is also marketed to promote sleep. Part of CBD’s popularity is that it purports to be “nonpsychoactive,” and that consumers can reap health benefits from the plant without the high (or the midnight pizza munchies).
