After researching the benefits of each product and the many bells and whistles that came with them, I was overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information available online. This company sells it in this strength and at this dosage. It can be very overwhelming for beginners. However, an old friend of mine is available to help!

Piedmont Green was founded in 2019 by Eric Abarelli, Christian Dobson, with the intent to promote a holistic and natural approach for healthy living using the benefits of CBD. Located in Kannapolis, North Carolina they have created quite a business despite the fact that they live on the Bible Belt–which opposes the use of cannabis. However, the team and business have made such a positive impact in the community, they were able to change their minds through education about CBD and the benefits. It is also important to add that they grow their own hemp and produce the products themselves, making it an organic, small business.

What is CBD?

Eric was kind enough to explain what CBD is and how it affects our bodies. Here’s what he had for us:

“Cannabidiol, or CBD, is a derivative of the Cannabis Sativa plant. It is non-psychoactive and contains very little THC (legal limit is 0.3%). Everyone has an Endocannabinoid system, which is a system of receptors that binds to one’s organs, brain, nervous, and skeletal structure. It is composed of CB1 and CB2 receptors which are dormant Cannabis receptors waiting to accept an external source of cannabinoids. This system works with one’s body to regulate serotonin, dopamine and oxytocin.” With that being said, it has an ample amount of benefits and for those who don’t have insurance–it can truly be a lifesaver for those with depression and anxiety. However, please do not ever self-diagnose or do anything without consulting a medical professional.

The Potential Benefits of Using CBD

It is important to add that when Eric was telling me about the benefits of using CBD, the FDA has still yet to approve it. The bright side is that “The FDA approved only one CBD product. It was a prescription drug product to treat seizures related to Lennox Gastaut Syndrome (LGS), Dravet Syndrome (DS), or tuberous sclerosis Complex (TSC) in individuals one year and older.” This gives hope for the future, and a holistic approach to medicine.

There are many people who have used CBD and their experiences with it. However, doctors still don’t prescribe it. Despite legalization of medical marijuana in many states across the country, it has yet to become legal in all 50. Here’s the updated list here. On a better note, here might be some of the benefits of using CBD:

CBD could help with muscle pain/spasms and insomnia/sleep problems, fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorders, skin conditions (such as eczema or psoriasis), joint pains, Crohn’s Disease, IBS and migraines.

CBD could help with attention disorders like ADHD and ADD.

CBD may relieve certain Cancer related issues.

CBD may relieve blood pressure and oxidative stress on the heart.

CBD may help with lowering eye pressure.

CBD may help with anxiety and stress and acts as a mood stabilizer.

CBD is a natural treatment for seizures and epilepsy.
