FYI! CBD 101 - What's all the Hype?

Learn about CBD (short for cannabidiol) for natural pain management, relief of headaches & joint relief. Get answers to questions like: Is it legal? Will I get high? What is the cost? Where can I get it?

CBD - it’s everywhere! You’ve seen it advertised all over the place. From the pet store to the drugstore, and everywhere in between. Essential oils are also all the rage, but what sources should you trust?  Join Dresden resident and Master Gardener, Julia Simpson, along with Woolwich resident and Master wellness coach Melinda Baxter for an informative and interactive lecture on this topic at the People Plus Center on Thursday, February 27 at 1:30 PM (rescheduled from 2/13 due to snowstorm).

Simpson, who cultivates and grows hemp (with less than .03% THC value) at Glacier Farm in Dresden, produces a variety of CBD products in small artisanal batches.  A 30-year Master Gardener who has been farming for nearly five decades, Simpson has recently partnered with Baxter and doTERRA Essential oils in her search to find the right medium for CBD products. Melinda Baxter LMT, CYTCHHC, FDN is a certified health coach and owner of Pathways to Health, as well as a yoga teacher, massage therapist and now specializes in wellness advocation with dōTERRA Essential Oils.

Free, open to the public. Registration is appreciated.
