In a landscape where cannabis's therapeutic potential gains increasing recognition, bolstered by evolving legislative perspectives and a growing body of clinical research, the conversation around medicinal cannabis has never been more dynamic.
Over the years, medical cannabis advocates have worked hard to open the doors to clinical research and enable veterans to use cannabis without risking their Veterans Health Administration benefits. Many of our nation’s millions of veterans find themselves in an uneasy limbo between speedily changing cultural norms and an unmoving federal law that has not been altered since the ‘70s.
OK. We’ll be upfront with you. We do have a vested interest here. We sell Care By Design in licensed cannabis dispensaries. But there are good reasons for that: Cannabis-derived CBD products are superior to hemp-derived CBD. Period.
Tolerance is a complexity of the brain. With cannabis, each person's tolerance varies at a different rate due to the consumption method used, dosage and cultivar consumed. In some rarer cases, a tolerance won't develop, but most people will form one over time.
Start your day at the beach and end it in the mountains! Southern California is one of the few places where you can surf and ski on the same day, and it’s truly one of the greatest things about living here. Now that winter is upon us, here are a few spots in our sunshine state where you can enjoy the snow without the actual work of living in it. Depending on where you live, and when travel is possible, these fun spots are just far enough to feel like a getaway, yet close enough to make it a weekend trip!
It’s hard to find the words to express the heartbreak we feel about the violence permeating our society. As a company, we have made it our mission to improve the health and happiness of our communities through our work. But we cannot simply treat the body without also treating social detriments that harm one’s health. A person cannot live a healthy life if their safety and freedom are threatened by racial and economic inequality.
Pride Month is always a cause for celebration. But for a medical cannabis company like ours, it's especially important to take a moment to honor the brave protestors and pioneers. Were it not for the AIDS activists of the 80s, medical cannabis would probably still be a crime. In honor of Pride Month, we want to highlight Dennis Peron, who is often referred to as “The Father of Medical Marijuana.”
We believe in the power of community because we’ve seen the impactful changes made by our passionate cannabis advocates, patients, researchers, and supporters.
When the Care By Design team came together in 2010, the CBD market did not exist and there was little consumer awareness of this lesser-known cannabinoid. It was challenging to find high-CBD strains in California! Most CBD-rich strains had been bred out of existence due to the demand for high potency THC. But the science was there, and we knew that CBD was a key component in the healing power of cannabis.
Born in the heart of Northern California, we at Care By Design have been deeply concerned about the impact of California’s new cannabis regulations on our beautiful state. These regulations mandate that cannabis goods must be packaged in resealable, child-resistant packaging, which is typically made of plastic. Annually, CannaCraft brands (including Care By Design and AbsoluteXtracts) produce about two million vape cartridges which means that we were looking at producing millions of plastic, child-resistant tubes that would end up in our landfills.
