Top 5 CBD Places in Austin

The legalization of industrial hemp products in 2018 has led the CBD business to boom in just four years; the industry has surpassed billions of dollars in revenue due to its various healing properties and the fact that CBD acts as an alternative to opioids in the U.S., as studies have shown. There are many hemp products on the market, but CBD is the only legal one in Texas. Marijuana, CBD and delta-8 are all different products that vary in their levels of THC, which is the psychoactive compound that makes people feel “high.” CBD has the lowest level of THC (0.3% or less) — the legal amount in Texas for hemp products sold. 

CBD products have been studied to determine their benefits for health conditions such as chronic pain, anxiety, epilepsy, glaucoma and others. While research is still in its infancy for many conditions, CBD has been shown to treat forms of epilepsy that are difficult to control with other medicines and help people suffering from chronic pain. Whether you struggle with a health condition and want alternative treatments or are curious about the booming industry, Austin has many local shops to find the best product for you.
