YOUR GUIDE TO CBD IN HONG KONG

It's safe to say that CBD has blown up in Hong Kong, everything from cosmetics to brews is getting that calm, soothing infusion. Living in a city that is 24/7, all day, every day, it's no surprise that Hong Kong-er's have taken to the stuff. Whether you can't live without your sleep drops or you're interested in trying out how CBD makes you feel, here's a list of CBD goodies you can try along your journey!

What is CBD? And is it even legal?

CBD stands for can cannabidiol, is all-natural and extracted from hemp plants. It has anti-inflammatory properties, is packed with antioxidants, is neuroprotective, helps with pain management, sleep disorders, and even fights anxiety and depression. For those who don't know, CBD is entirely legal in Hong Kong! CBD products sold in the 852 are without any THC (the chemical that gets you 'high'). It leaves you with a subtle kind of calm, particularly if you have anxiety or any chronic pains.

CBD Tinctures

Drops are one of the most popular forms of consumption when it comes to CBD. If you're new to trying CBD, this is an excellent place to start. All you have to do is squeeze a few drops before bed or even in the mornings to start your day. Jakpot CBD sells broad-spectrum CBD to help you get a restful night of sleep and generally support your wellbeing. Made in the US, this family-run business has roots in NYC and just landed in Hong Kong! They have a range of oils available for both humans and dogs too!
