What is CBD?

What is CBD?

  • Juan Carlos Delgado

WHAT IS CBD? Cannabidiol—CBD—is a cannabis compound that has significant medical benefits, but does not make people feel “stoned” and can actually counteract the psychoactivity of THC.

Why they hate us?

  • Michel Ponce

In 1968, the Brown and Williamson Tobacco Company circulated an internal memo among colleagues where an executive of the company stated “What we want to do this morning is to take a summary look at the smoking and health question and then make a proposal to you for a B&W project to counter the anti-cigarette forces.” He continues “Doubt is our product, it is the best means of competing with the ‘body of fact’ that exists in the mind of the general public. It is also the means of establishing a controversy”. ( read the full memo here) Big tobacco...
