Going beyond clapping, signs, and TV specials, the folks at 101 CBD wanted to do more to support our frontline workers in the current health crisis. These frontline workers include the wide range of those who staff our hospitals and nursing homes on whom we rely as we follow stay-at-home recommendations. All these frontline workers are exposed to increasingly stressful working conditions including longer than normal work hours, an underlying awareness of their potential to contract the virus, isolation from their family members to avoid potential spreading of the virus, filling in any area where they are needed, handling the heartbreak of being unable to save many of their patients, the worry over having enough supplies such as protective gear, testing materials, or advanced care equipment such as ventilators, and being aware of no clear cut end in sight when things will get better. The support our frontline workers is needed now more than ever.

To springboard a more personal effort to support these frontline health care workers, 101CBD/Hemp is now offering them a .5 ounce bottles of its customer favorite oil, Chill X.  Chill X is the most relevant choice during this stressful time. Chill X, containing the proprietary whole plant, cold extracted hemp oils, is often used by many customers to help maintain a sense of calm and manage everyday stress. 

Chill X contains a whole plant hemp extract base and contains a variety of plant compounds including phytocannabinoids, terpenes, flavonoids, and essential fatty acids. This combination creates an Entourage effect, or the synergist benefits of all the plant compounds working together. With the added benefits of cold extraction resulting in a high percentage of the raw phytocannabinoid forms, Chill X is a product closer to how Mother Nature created it. To the carrier oil of cold pressed hemp seed oil is added low temperature extracted liquid stevia, with a small infusion of passion flower.  Passion flower has a long historical use for its calming effects and is described by the FDA as GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe). Chill X is available with a choice of several organic flavors.  These flavors include citrus, blueberry, peppermint, vanilla, natural sweet, and unflavored.  

We encourage any healthcare workers to stop by for their free bottle of Chill X at our three locations in Ventura and Ojai, California and Westminster, Colorado. Our educated staff will be happy to answer any questions or arrange a special time for pick-up if work hours conflict with the store hours.  We at 101 CBD are part of a family owned company created to help a family member, and our passion and purpose is truly helping others through providing the best products we can, providing the most current information and research, and offer a range of services to assist those most in need.  In addition to the bottles for seven dollars, discounts on larger bottles are also available. Please help spread the word about 101 CBD’s effort to support our frontline workers.

COVID-19 research and CBD? Finally! Israel’s leadership in CBD and THC cannabis research began in the 1960s with the groundbreaking research of Dr. Raphael Mechoulam, now recognized as the world’s foremost CBD and THC cannabis researchers.  Israel has since exploded into a major research center for plant medicine and pharmaceutical research with collaboration from top international companies. This is due to Dr. Mechoulam’s leadership and Israel’s clear and proactive stance on cannabis research.  In the US, the National Institute of Health (NIH) has been funding Mechoulam’s research for over 50 years, but clarifying federal regulations of CBD and THC for use and research is not yet available.

Israel was thus the perfect location for a recently announced collaborative effort between InnoCan Pharma Ltd of Israel and a sponsored COVID-19 research agreement with Ramot, a major technology company that works with both academic and corporate areas at Tel Aviv University. The research goal is to develop a novel, approach to treat COVID-19 symptoms by delivering CBD together with previously researched exosomes.

In case you are like most of us and haven’t heard of exosomes, they are small particles that are anti-inflammatory, can help regeneration, and improve immune reactions in damaged tissues. Combining the exosomes benefits with the anti-inflammatory properties of CBD will hopefully have a stronger effect against the symptoms of COVID-19, especially lung damage.

We at 101CBD, who witnessed firsthand the benefits of whole plant, hemp-based CBD/ CBDA on the reduction of measured symptoms of autism of a family member, are encouraged to see research on CBD benefits move into the world stage during these troubling times.
