The explosion of cannabidiol has completely transformed the wellness industry. CBD offers an unprecedented aid to stress management and pain relief. Most importantly, it’s organic, eradicating the chances of severe health risks and unwanted side effects associated with popular opioids and NSAIDs. Yet, seasoned CBD users know that’s just the start of all CBD offers. Its actual capacity is revealed in many forms, from natural health aids to recreational alcohol alternatives. In this blog, we’re taking CBD 101 to the next level, introducing you to new societal trends that will help you transform unhealthy habits and the best way to elevate your CBD experience: in community.

CBD 101: America’s New Favorite Indulgence

A recent advisory warning issued by America’s top doctor linking alcohol consumption and increased cancer risk has Gen Z and other health-conscious individuals pivoting away from beer, spirits, and wine. Next to tobacco and obesity, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention lists alcohol as the third-most preventable cause of cancer in the U.S. As a result, polls show a staggering 49% of Americans plan to drink less in 2025.

These findings propose promising projections for the blooming cannabis industry, which continues to provide safe and natural alternatives for unproductive habits such as alcohol and prescription medication consumption. If you’re even the least bit sober-curious, now is the time to familiarize yourself with the magical derivatives of the cannabis plant with Cloud City Supply as your trusted advisor.

Not only do alcohol alternatives like cannabidiol (CBD), cannabigerol (CBG), and cannabinol (CBN) offer guilt-free wellness benefits, but they also add value to social environments and shared experiences in the same way. CBD, CBG, and CBN are non-psychoactive compounds with immeasurable therapeutic effects, allowing you to share your self-care practice in community with others. To add, if you are interested in a little intoxicating fun but want to leave out the liver damage, there’s also the infamous THC, which offers the same medicinal benefits with some very pleasurable mind-altering effects.
