There's no doubt that social discourse about CBD has been stigmatized. People either want to associate it with the reputation of its notorious counterpart compound, THC, or it just doesn't hold significance because they haven't experienced it for themselves.
Without a chance to witness its magic firsthand, we tend to rely on trusted influencers to inform us and inspire us to try it. CBD has been gaining popularity in the beauty and health sectors and has already earned the favor of some of your favorite Hollywood stars.
