CBD TRIP Drink Review: Everything You Need To Know

Published by reema patel on 10th may 2024 10th may 2024.

TRIP is a cannabidiol ( CBD) brand, launched in the UK in 2019 offering a range of drinks that provide a source of CBD and adaptogens. Alongside the CBD-infused drinks, they also offer CBD oils and CBD-infused cold brew coffee. CBD is non-psychoactive, and claims to offer a feeling of calmness, improving tiredness, creativity, anxiety and productivity levels. We will look closely into the products to provide a detailed TRIP drink review , if it is something worth buying, how do they taste, who is it safe for, and what is the effect on the body.

What are TRIP drinks?

TRIP is a brand of drinks that provide a source of CBD. This is the non-psychoactive compound found in hemp plants, and unlike the active compound tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), it doesn’t get you high. The TRIP drinks are produced in the UK, and the CBD is derived from hemp. According to the TRIP website, all products are third party tested to ensure they are THC free and of high quality and purity. The drinks come in a range of flavours, including elderflower & mint, peach & ginger and lemon basil, as well as a cold brew coffee drink, and a ‘Calm Down’ CBD drink, which is a raspberry and orange blossom flavour. All of the TRIP CBD is vegan, gluten free and palm oil free. 

Do CBD TRIP drinks do anything?

TRIP drinks are infused with CBD , which is the non-psychoactive part of the hemp plant. They will not make the drinker ‘high’ but it can make the drinker feel more balanced and calm. This can typically take around 20 minutes to feel after the drink has been consumed, though the effects can differ from person to person. CBD itself can promote a sense of calmness and relaxation, which may help to better manage stress and anxiety. CBD-infused drinks may also improve sleep quality, due to the relaxation properties of the drinks. One study from 2019 showed that CBD improved sleep and anxiety in those who consumed CBD for a month.

How does TRIP drink make you feel?

The properties of TRIP largely come from the CBD it contains. Although CBD is part of the cannabis plant, it does not contain any psychoactive properties, such of that of THC, which is a different compound. Instead, CBD is meant to help the drinker to unwind and relax, without the feeling of getting ‘high’.

CBD can help you to relax and unwind, allowing your body to find balance. Unlike with THC, you won’t experience physical or mental impairment and it won’t get you high. The length of time it takes for CBD to take effect is likely to be different from person to person and varies based on the individual. For instance, an individual’s metabolism, diet, weight and genetics could play a role in the period of time it takes for CBD to come into effect. However, CBD generally gets to work quite quickly, and it can take as little as 15 minutes for you to feel more like yourself.

How long do TRIP drinks take to work?

The length of time it takes for the TRIP drinks to work can vary from person to person for a number of factors. This includes the persons age, weight, metabolism and diet, as well as genetics. On average, the effect from CBD drinks can be felt within 15-20 minutes, and can last for up to 4 hours. Compared to consuming foods with CBD, which can take up to an hour for any effects to be felt, and can last for up to 6 hours after ingestion.

The ingredients of the Peach and Ginger TRIP drink includes: Sparkling water Fruit Juices from concentrate 23%, (peach 20%, passion fruit) Flavour enhancer (erythritol) Natural ginger flavour with other natural flavours Botanical extracts (ginger, ginseng, turmeric, lemon balm, chamomile) Acid (citric acid) L- theanine CBD Extract   (soya)   (6mg/100ml)

Are TRIP drinks alcohol free?

Yes, all TRIP drinks are alcohol free, with 0.0% ABV. No alcohol is used in the production of TRIP drinks.

How much CBD is in a TRIP drink?

There is 15mg of CBD in a 250ml can of TRIP drink. As CBD is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), there is no official recommendation of how much CBD is safe to consume, or how much is needed to feel the claimed effects of CBD.

TRIP drink flavours

Elderflower mint.

This flavour provides a forward aroma of elderflower, with a tone of crisp and clean mint, to give a coolness. The elderflower is sweet and floral, but is balanced well with the zesty freshness of mint. 

Peach & Ginger

The main flavour of this combination is the sweetness of ripe peach, combined with a lingering spicy heat from ginger. It is zesty and fiery, but the ripe sweetness of the peach balances out this spice level for a refreshing, crisp flavour to end with.

Lemon Basil

The zesty flavour of lemon has been paired with the aromatic earthiness of basil, to provide a refreshing drink. It has a citrusy aroma, also providing herbaceous scents of basil. The tartness of the lemon is balanced by the sweet and peppery flavour of basil, making it a crisp, light and refreshing flavour.

Cold Brew Coffee

This is a CBD infused coffee drink, containing only three ingredients: Water, coffee & CBD extract (6mg/100ml) – a total of 15mg CBD per 250ml coffee can. It is d airy-free, gluten-free, vegan and contains no added sugar or sweeteners. It claims to provide a caffeine hit, but due to the inclusion of CBD, will not give the jittery feeling associated with drinking coffee.

This is a raspberry orange blossom flavoured CBD drink, best served ice cold. It is made from a mix of fruit concentrates as well as the addition of magnesium for relaxation and apple cider vinegar for it’s antimicrobial properties.

Advantages of TRIP drinks

• Can help you unwind without the hangover feeling, as it contains no alcohol
• Good alternative drink choice for reducing alcohol intake
• Provides a source of botanicals that are said to be calming and relaxing
• The adaptogens contained in TRIP drinks can help with productivity
• Very low calorie drink, with under 21 calories per can and 0g sugar
• There are a range of flavours, including a combined CBD and caffeine drink to avoid the unpleasant side effects that some people can suffer with when drinking coffee

Disadvantages of TRIP drinks

• May not provide the sought after effect. For some, the drinks do not provide a sense of relaxation or calmness.
• Effects may be from a placebo effect, and can be short lasting
• Taste may not be to everyone’s preference
• Sweeteners are used, which for some can irritate the gut

Possible TRIP drink side effects

Although CBD is generally well tolerated, it can be a case of trial and error to find out what dose suits you as an individual the best. Side effects often come from too high of a dose for your body. Some of the common side effects can include:

• Mood changes
• Changes in appetite
• Dizziness and drowsiness
• Gastrointestinal issues

If you believe you are experiencing any of these side effects, we recommend stopping consuming of TRIP and any other CBD containing products. The FDA recommends not exceeding a dose of more than 70mg CBD per day.

TRIP drink price

The price of TRIP drinks can vary, depending on where they are purchased, and if you are buying a bundle of drinks at once.

For example, an individual can is priced around £2.10 each, or a bundle of 4 for £6.50. If you buy a bundle of 12 from the TRIP website, this would be £24. However, if you want to buy a 24 or 48 pack, they offer a subscribe and save offer, where you can choose a regular delivery of TRIP drinks, giving you a 42% discount. For example, a regular 24 pack case is £48, but if you subscribe and save, this will cost just £31.

When is it best time to consume a TRIP drink?

According to the website, TRIP can be consumed at any time of the day. Ideally when you want to feel calm, so this can be first thing in the morning to start the day, or could be to unwind in the evening after a stressful day. You can even enjoy a TRIP drink during the afternoon, to possibly help with better mood and overall productivity.

Are TRIP drinks safe?

Yes, according to the World Health Organisation, there is no evidence that pure CBD intake leads to public health related problems. CBD itself is unlikely to impair daily functioning, and is safe. However, higher than tolerated quantities can lead to unpleasant side effects for some, as described above.

CBD itself can effectively treat certain types of childhood epilepsy syndromes, especially when not responding to traditional antiseizure medications. In some studies, CBD was able to reduce and even stop seizures altogether. Consumption of high levels of CBD can increase blood thinning, so it is important to be aware of consuming CBD if you are taking any blood thinner medication, as well as an anti-epileptic or immunosuppressant medication. Because CBD products are sold as supplements and not medications, it is not regulated under the FDA, as medications are.

Precautions of drinking TRIP beverages

There are some cases where it would not be advisable to consume CBD products such as TRIP drinks. For example:

• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Although CBD has not been fully researched in pregnant women, it is known that CBD does pass through the placenta, and this may have unknown risks to the developing foetus.
• If you have liver disease. As CBD can increase certain liver enzymes, which can lead to liver inflammation.
• Do not take with alcohol. Consuming CBD products alongside alcohol can cause excessive drowsiness.

Is TRIP drink safe for children?

No, TRIP is not safe for children, as the effect of TRIP have not been extensively researched with children, and therefore it is not advised as a drink to give to children. CBD itself has not been tested extensively for it’s safety and effectiveness, especially in children, so there is no definitive answer if CBD is safe for children.

Although there is some research around how CBD may help with seizure control, which may be then applied to children with seizures, it is not something we would recommend, unless closely monitored by a registered health professional.

Is TRIP drink legal in the UK?

CBD is a legal substance in the UK, as long as the THC concentration does not exceed 0.2%. TRIP does not contain this level of THC, and is therefore safe and legal. It is sold in many supermarkets and retailers across the UK!

Can you drive after a TRIP drink?

Yes – CBD is not a controlled substance and therefore drinking TRIP and then driving is legal. CBD is a non-psychotropic compound, meaning it does not get the user high, and is therefore not illegal. It is important that you use a trusted source of CBD, as some products may contain THC.

Online TRIP drink reviews

Some reviews have commented how the TRIP drinks are great alternatives to alcohol to help them relax and unwind, especially after a long day.

The subscription service seems to be popular as a better value for money offering for those who frequently buy direct from the TRIP website.

However, several reviews mention they felt no difference when consuming the TRIP drinks, even after several tries. Some have doubted that the amount and quality of CBD in one drink is not enough, and there is no evidence on the website on how the CBD content is verified through third party testing. Many reviews comment that the cost cannot justify the product, especially if nothing was felt for them after consuming the drinks.

Are TRIP drinks worth it?

The TRIP drinks can be a great way to help reduce alcohol intake, or have another alterative soft drink, which is low in sugar and easily found in most supermarkets. It can be a refreshing change to just plain water, and for some, it may provide a sense of calmness, and help to improve levels of anxiety. However, for many, the desired outcomes may not be felt, and this may be due to the small doses of CBD found in the TRIP drinks.

Therefore, it is something you can give a try if you would like support with any anxiety or stress management, though we would instead recommend regular support from a private dietitian  to ensure you are seeing positive outcomes with better managing any health concerns, in relation to stress and anxiety. This way, we can ensure you are changing your lifestyle for the better, without the risk of developing any side effects of consuming higher levels of CBD overall.

Review: We Try TRIP CBD-Infused Drinks & CBD Oils

Trip Drinks Review: Is This Botanical Beverage Worth It?

Right now, I suspect I am an advertiser’s dream when it comes to soft drinks – especially anything with interesting added ingredients and health benefits. I no longer drink alcohol , so am always in the market for interesting new “grown up drinks” – which is why I’ve already reviewed so many for this site.

As is often the case, I discovered Trip’s range of “CBD Infused” drinks via a targeted ad on Facebook. I was intrigued enough to put in an order, and in this Trip Drinks review, I let you know my views on the whole range.

I’m always excited to try out new drinks, but I only tend to order them more than once if they really impress – especially as so many new products are coming out at the moment.

To find out whether Trip Drinks got a second order from me, you’ll have to read on.

NOTE: I’ve now also written a Trip CBD Oil review .

What Are Trip Drinks?

Trip Drinks is a range of healthy soft drinks infused with CBD, and a range of natural botanicals including lemon balm and ginseng. Although it’s a relatively new range, it has gathered considerable momentum already, with positive praise from the likes of Forbes, Vogue and The Guardian.

Sold as a product that can help you to “find your calm amidst the every day chaos,” the drinks are among many products currently hitting the market that incorporate natural, herbal ingredients that have various health and anti-anxiety benefits.

What is In Trip Drinks?

Trip drinks have a base of water and natural fruit juice concentrates. They’re naturally sweetened with steviol, an ingredient many health-conscious people (myself included) prefer to chemicals like aspartame and sucralose.

The interesting part is the added botanical ingredients, and the inclusion of a small dose of CBD (cannabidiol) – a non-psychoactive ingredient derived from the cannabis plant.

CBD is all the rage these days, with many fans (again, myself included), who report benefits such as a greater sense of calm, reduced anxiety, and less pain and inflammation.

Here’s a quick run-down of all the botanicals included in Trip drinks, along with their perceived benefits. I must emphasise that these are benefits they are widely thought to have. I’m not making any medical claims here – this is a personal blog, not a scientific paper.

CBD : This increasingly popular ingredient is a massive deal these days. It’s often used as a natural remedy for anxiety, for lots of pain-related conditions such as arthritis and neuropathy, and to relieve nausea. It does NOT get you “high,” in case you’re wondering! To find out more about it, check out this guide from Harvard University .

Lemon Balm: Lemon balm is from the mint family, and people have long believed it to promote relaxation and to aid in many ailments. These include headaches, nausea and menstrual cramps. This Healthline article discusses several studies into those claims.

Ginseng: This is a supplement that has been used for centuries, and is particularly popular in China and Korea. It is thought to help with everything from cognitive function to blood sugar levels. That said, there is limited medical evidence for these long-believed claims.

L-Theanine : L-Theanine is an amino acid that naturally occurs in tea. It’s said to be good for memory and clarity, and many people believe it’s a good compliment to caffeine. I am one of those people, as it seems to “take the edge” off the jittery buzz. (L Theanine is also found in Three Spirit’s Non Alcoholic Spirits range – reviewed here – where I have particularly noticed that positive effect).

Chamomile: Most of us are familiar with chamomile tea. It’s a hugely popular ingredient to promote sleep and relaxation.

Turmeric: The only Trip drink that includes turmeric is the peach and ginger variety. As well as giving the drink a striking orange colour, turmeric is seen (particularly in India) as a medicinal herb, used for everything from hayfever to depression and itching. As with the ginseng, there isn’t yet much in the way of peer-reviewed evidence to support these beliefs.

Trip Drinks Review: Flavour By Flavour

In a moment, we’ll move on to the “effects” of Trip drinks, and discuss whether you notice any tangible benefits. But first, let’s look at something that’s arguably more important – what they taste like.

Trip Lemon Basil Drink

This particular drink provides exactly what it says on the can. It’s probably the most “herbal” of the three in terms of both aroma and flavour. It tastes of lemon, and it tastes of basil – so I guess we can say “mission accomplished!”

The flavour is in perfect balance, and it’s an agreeable herbal taste, not a nasty Jägermeister-like herbal taste!

I’m not convinced it would appeal to everybody, but I enjoy it very much.

VERDICT: 8/10

Trip Elderflower Mint

Until I tried Trip drinks, I had no idea that I would enjoy a drink that tastes – frankly – like Wrigley’s Spearmint chewing gum. It really does!

That may sound a bit odd, but it’s genuinely not a bad thing. I have to confess that I can’t taste much in the way of elderflower, but the overall flavour is really good. This is probably my favourite of the three.

VERDICT: 9/10

Trip Peach Ginger

The Peach Ginger is the one that includes turmeric, and as you can see from the photo near the top of this review, it gives the drink a very bright orange colour.

Flavour-wise it’s a strong ginger, but not an overly spicy ginger. It’s very refreshing, although the ginger overpowers the peach a little. It’s a mouth-filling taste, with a fresh aroma. I don’t know if it’s possible for something to “smell healthy,” but it kind of does.

I’m going to have to disappoint the hedonists reading this by saying that if you’re expecting Trip drinks to blast you into the stratosphere, you’re going to be sorely disappointed!

Despite the “Trip” name, these are very much a wellbeing product, and any “effects” will be subtle at best. Let’s be realistic, folks, they sell these in Sainsbury’s!

However, I like to test products throughly, and with an open mind. With that ethos, I drank several of these before creating my Trip Drinks review. I did so at times when I could have a good chance to really focus in on whether I “noticed anything,” such as when I was about to sit down for a period of uninterrupted work.

I first want to talk about the CBD. Something I’ve not revealed until now is that I am a regular (daily) user of CBD. I find it enormously helpful for my anxiety and general state of mind. I am strongly considering setting up a separate site to discuss it, and to review the products I use.

With that in mind, I do (for fear of sounding conceited) know a LOT about CBD. And one thing I know is that the dose of CBD needed to feel positive effects can vary wildly from person to person. I also know that – for most – the 15mg “dose” in a can of Trip is a pretty small one.

This is compounded by the bioavailability of CBD when you eat or drink it. That sounds awfully technical, but it essentially relates to how much of the substance is actually absorbed by the body. Some estimates are that it is as low as 4%.

This is why I vape my CBD, as it’s a much more “bioavailable” method of taking it. And I use much bigger doses than 15mg! That’s very much another story, but my point is that the 15mg dose in Trip (and, indeed, in almost every CBD drink on the market) is probably too low to really do much for many people.

This by no means implies that there’s anything disingenuous about the product or its marketing. All I’m saying is not to expect miracles, nor to assume CBD does nothing for you if this is the first and only such product you try.

The Other Botanical Ingredients

The other herbal ingredients in Trip are a blend intended to promote stress relief, relaxation and better digestion. I’ve tried most of them before – alone or in other products – at various times.

I have to say I was intrigued by the presence of chamomile. It’s something usually seen as a bedtime supplement, so I was concerned Trip would make me sleepy. Thankfully it didn’t.

I’ve generally been having a can of Trip mid afternoon. This is when I’d often reach for a second can of Diet Coke – a decision I frequently regret afterwards because it leaves me feeling washed-out and jittery.

Drinking Trip doesn’t suddenly make me feel “different.” It’s not like when I vape CBD, which can provide a really notable sense of calm, and a slowdown of racing thoughts. However, I do tend to feel focussed and quite “zen” after drinking Trip. It may be placebo, to an extent, but millions of people believe in these ingredients, and have done for hundreds of years.

My digestion has also been very good since I’ve been drinking these regularly. However, I should say that digestion doesn’t really give me much trouble anyway, since I quit drinking alcohol!

All in all, I have a “what’s not to like?” perception of these drinks. They taste good, they seem healthy, and they are clearly a better choice than more Diet Coke while I’m sitting at my desk.

I couldn’t swear that my focus and level of calm would be any different without them – but that goes for every supplement and health product out there!

Ingredients, Calories and Nutrition

Whenever I do a drinks review, I like to have a good look at the ingredients and nutritional information.

There’s nothing in Trip Drinks that seriously worries me. There’s water (it doesn’t specify spring water), fruit juices from concentrates, the CBD and botanicals, and steviol glycosides as the sweetener. One addition that many of the drinks I review do without is erythritol, a flavour enhancer – just so you know!

The drinks are 20 calories per can , so not much to concern you there. They are also vegan, and have no added sugar.

One thing that’s a bit of a shame is that other than the CBD, Trip don’t tell us the quantities of the ginseng, L-Theanine etc. That’s quite common in products like this, and presumably they don’t want to give away the trade secrets. However, it does leave you wondering how “meaningful” a quantity of those ingredients you’re consuming.

Presentation

I only include a presentation section in these reviews when there’s something positive to say. While the presentation didn’t blow me away as much as when I did my review of Jukes Coridalities , the drinks do come in a nice box with a leaflet, when you buy a small mixed case. This is shown in the earlier photos.

Ethics and Eco Credentials

Trip Drinks come with 100% recyclable packaging, and everything is made in the UK.

I always find it interesting to see what these “craft” brands do to contribute to wider society. While I didn’t see anything on the website about charity initiatives or donations, the company does offer some discounts – for healthcare workers, key workers, and 18-25s.

This is a great initiative, and it follows the lead of lots of US-based CBD businesses, which are generally a little more evolved than those here in the UK.

As we near the end of this Trip Drinks review, we come to the all important question of price.

As with many things, the price goes down for larger orders. If you buy a case of 24 cans, this costs £39, which works out to £1.63 per can. If you buy a pack of six (which is also available as a mix with all three flavours), this costs £14 – or £2.33 per can.

I think the pricing is well pitched – it’s not cheap, but it’s not luck-pushingly expensive either. And plenty of artisan drink makers DO push their luck on price.

Trip Drinks Coupon Codes

Use can use the following code to make savings on drinks and other products from the Trip website:

Use code AFFTRIP15 here to save 15% on spends over £50

As I said at the start of my review, the way I truly judge a product is whether I buy it again after my initial order.

Well, I’m pleased to say I’m now on my second box of Trip Drinks, and I think they’re going to end up in my permanent rotation.

As somebody who doesn’t drink alcohol, it’s nice to have some alternatives in my armoury. I’m thankful to live in a time when there are SO many options, with more coming to the marketplace all the time.

Don’t expect some earth-shattering effect from the CBD and other ingredients. If you notice anything it will be subtle, not profound. However, they do seem to make me feel rather “zen.” They also have great flavour. They are pleasantly “different,” without being too weird to be enjoyable!

Recommended.

Where To Buy Trip Drinks

Trip drinks are available across the UK, and I’ve even seen them in my local Sainsbury’s – but the easiest place to get them is on the company’s website. Pleasingly, UK shipping is free, and the company also ships internationally.

Trip Drinks – CBD Infused Soft Drinks

15 thoughts on “Trip Drinks Review: Is This Botanical Beverage Worth It?”

This was a great review thank you. As someone who is looking to go alcohol free it’s lovely to see drinks on offer that can replace alcohol without having to order a lemonade!

Hi Lucy, You’ll find plenty of other alcohol-free alternatives on the site too 🙂

Best wishes,

Is anyone able to tell me how much turmeric is in one drink please?

I don’t know off hand Lisa, I’m afraid, but I will look on the can next time I have some in the house!

Thank you for your detailed review. It is really helpful to have such detailed insight. I do have an issue with their discount policy. I find the notion that only certain workers are “key” distasteful. Why are not factory workers processing food, or bus drivers, or indeed anyone providing a service key and thus entitled to a discount. The fact that they offer NHS workers and healthcare workers a 50% discount tells me the drinks are way over priced for everyone. Again thanks for your review on the content of the these drinks.

I am a recovering alcoholic.. are these safe for me, as obviously concerned about the CPD .. thank you as don’t think these are mind altering, plus it could be a good promotion 😉thank you

Hi Pat – I’m reluctant to give you a firm answer on that. I’ve been sober for over two years, and drink these as well as alcohol free beers and all kinds of similar things. But I know that some alcoholics find NA beers triggering – so no two people are the same. I don’t honestly THINK Trip would cause you a problem, and it certainly doesn’t make me feel “altered” – but everybody’s different. 🙂

Hi Ben, excellent article, thank you.

I’m interested in starting with CBD and your mention of a vaping solution intrigued me… Please can you let me know any recommendations you have in this area?

Hi Andy – If you’re in the UK, I’d suggest having a look at products from HighKind and Orange County CBD.

Thanks for this review. I’ll probably give these Trip drinks a trial based on what you’ve written. Thanks also for your other reviews. Reading them has eaten up a big chunk of my afternoon! I’ve been on the wagon since February and tried a few options: red wine (both went down well – down the sink that is); no alc gin (Gordon’s is OK but it’s just a herby drink really. I shove lots of ice, some fresh mint and tonic in there and pretend it’s a mojito). Beer is the most successful. I notice you didn’t mention (though you’ve probably sampled) Adnam’s Ghost Ship 0.5 (full flavoured with a slight citrus finish) and my favourite so far, Erdinger Alkoholfrei 0.5 (very much like a pilsner so softer on the palate). Thanks again for your encouraging, informative and well-written pieces.

Hi Jeff – thanks for reading and glad you’ve enjoyed my articles!

Yes, I’m familiar with the Ghost Ship and like it a lot, especially on the rare occasions when I find it on draft 🙂 The Erdinger is good too. Brookly Special Effects is one I’m particularly enjoying right now, along with Clear Head, from Bristol Brewery, which also donates money to mental health charities.

All the best, Ben

Ps. For non alcoholic gin, my wife and I have both been impressed with Tanqueray.

My husband is really struggling with anxiety at the moment and I was hoping these drinks might be the answer for him. However, you said about the dose not really being enough for most people. Vape isn’t something he would consider, are there any other alternatives that could be more successful?

I think anxiety is a huge problem for many people at the moment, especially those of us living through these grim times in the UK.

You could maybe start him off with Trip’s CBD oil , which will give a much stronger effect, and he will be able to experiment with the dosage. Here’s my affiliate link 🙂

It’s worth trying to use the code AFFTRIPCASH – which should give you 15% off spends over £35.

I’ve found CBD hugely helpful for anxiety – if nothing else it can help with sleep. However, it’s not a miracle cure. I’ve had some bad anxiety myself recently that CBD hasn’t been enough to fix – but I think it’s largely situational and being surrounded by such doom and gloom. It’s certainly worth a try!

All the best to you both.

Can you drink trip if you’re on warfarin

Hi Richard,

You would need to check that with your doctor. I cannot provide medical advice and I’m almost certain any CBD company would say the same.

CBD Travel Guide: The Only Guide to Traveling with CBD Oil You’ll Ever Need

Travelling with CBD Oil in 2022

CBD is a natural and safe compound with many well-documented health benefits. According to a 2017 WHO’s report on cannabidiol, even doses as high as 1,500 mg CBD daily are well tolerated in humans.

While many places around the world consider cannabis an illicit substance, CBD is legal in most countries. However, because CBD is extracted from the cannabis plant — and there are more than one species in this family — its legality isn’t unconditional everywhere.

The above situation complicates many areas of using CBD, from possession to buying to travelling with your CBD products around the world.

If you have an adventurer’s soul but don’t want to mess with the local law, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide on traveling with CBD in virtually every corner of the globe.

Let’s start with the basics.

Millions of people take the highways and skyways for holiday travel. CBD is all the rage right now, so it’s safe to assume that many of them will consider traveling with their CBD oil, capsules, or whatever form of cannabidiol they use.

The biggest misconception when it comes to taking CBD on the road? “Since CBD is legal in my country, it doesn’t matter whether I’m traveling with it in a car, on a train, or on a plane.” Another one? “CBD is CBD, so why bother?” In order to understand why there’s so much confusion around the legal status of CBD around the world, it’s important to know the difference between its two sources — hemp and marijuana.

Differentiating Hemp and Marijuana

On a molecular level, CBD is CBD no matter the source. It’s the same compound with the same chemical structure and effects.

But when it comes to the effects and legality of different CBD products, the source becomes paramount.

Despite coming from the same plant family — Cannabis sativa L. — hemp and marijuana are two different plants.

For one, they have different cannabinoid profiles.

While marijuana boasts high concentrations of THC and usually low-to-high levels of CBD (depending on its genetics), hemp plants are rich in CBD and contain only trace amounts of THC (usually less than 0.3% per dry mass).

This means that while consuming marijuana and marijuana-infused products can give you psychoactive effects referred to as the “cannabis high,” hemp isn’t capable of such things due to its low THC content.

Because of that, governments around the world have different regulations for both plants.

Marijuana is legal only in Canada, Uruguay, and 11 US states as of this writing. Some countries have already decriminalized its possession and are striving for legalization.

Hemp, on the other hand, is legal in most places.

CBD products from hemp are usually labeled as “health supplements,” meaning that you can buy them over the counter. On top of that, hemp has many other applications, including food, fiber, textiles, biofuel, building materials (hempcrete).

Marijuana is typically harvested for medical and recreational use.

Ways of Traveling with CBD

People use different means of transportation for traveling with CBD. Some of them only require you to know your local laws, whereas others call for more thorough research.

1. In the Car If you’re planning to make your holiday trip in the car, there’s little to worry about. Unless you’re a typical backpacker, you won’t be crossing country/state borders with your CBD, so all you need to take care of is a proper understanding of the local law. As long as the THC content is below the legal limit, you’re safe. And since hemp-derived CBD is treated differently than CBD products from marijuana, you don’t need to carry it in a closed container or declare your possession if you get stopped. Carrying CBD is not a ticketable offense if CBD is legal in your country.

2. On the Train and Other Means of Mass Transit Similar rules apply to traveling with CBD by train and other means of mass transit. Hemp-derived CBD with a legal amount of CBD is fine to bring on trains and buses if you are traveling within the borders of your country. For trains and buses using international connections, we recommend checking with the regulations surrounding hemp CBD products in your destinations because some countries only allow them under certain conditions.

3. On the Plane A few years ago, detaining flyers for having CBD oil in their purses was actually quite common. Thankfully, airports around the world changed their policies and as long as you have a legal product, you’ll be allowed to depart.

But if you want to make your flight fully successful, you need to make sure that CBD is legal where you’re going.

Otherwise, the best-case scenario includes you returning to your country with ruined holidays.

Worse? You can get arrested and end up in jail for smuggling or possession of illicit substances. There are stories of people jailed for traveling with CBD due to violating the local laws — more on that later in our guide.

For now, we’ll only give you one hint: always have a certificate of analysis for your product. It’s the only legitimate way to confirm if its THC content is below the legal limit.

How to Travel with CBD Around the USA: Federal and State Laws

The 2018 Farm Bill has made traveling with CBD around the USA much easier. Hemp has been removed from the Controlled Substances Act and is now considered an agricultural crop.

In other words, hemp and hemp-derived CBD goods are legal in all 50 states as long as they contain less than 0.3% THC.

As with most federal regulations, states can either adapt to the national law or introduce their own changes. In some states, CBD is legal under certain conditions, but before we elaborate on that, let’s take a look at what the US Travel Security Agency says about traveling with CBD. The TSA’s Policy Surrounding Traveling with CBD

The TSA’s website states: “Marijuana and certain cannabis infused products, including some Cannabidiol (CBD) oil, remain illegal under federal law, except for products that contain no more than 0.3 percent THC on a dry weight basis or that are approved by FDA.”

This policy reflects the one of the federal government. As long as CBD oil comes from hemp and has less than 0.3%, you can fly with it between states.

Because hemp naturally has high amounts of CBD and very little THC, the majority of CBD products are extracted from hemp plants.

This allows manufacturers to sell them without facing potential legal problems. Consumers, on the other hand, can enjoy the benefits of CBD without experiencing the psychoactive side of cannabis.

However, not all CBD oil is sourced from hemp. As mentioned, CBD can also be extracted from marijuana. Some people prefer more THC content because of the enhanced synergy coming from the full spectrum of cannabinoids, and in some states, marijuana is legal.

If this definition fits your CBD oil, then you certainly don’t want to take it on a plane. Traveling with marijuana-derived CBD from one state to another is a federal offence — even if marijuana is legal in both.

TSA officers aren’t looking for CBD oil, but if they suspect they find marijuana as part of security screening, they will start the verification procedure, even if your oil comes from hemp and not marijuana: “TSA’s screening procedures are focused on security and are designed to detect potential threats to aviation and passengers. Accordingly, TSA security officers do not search for marijuana or other illegal drugs, but if any illegal substance is discovered during security screening, TSA will refer the matter to a law enforcement officer. TSA officers are required to report any suspected violations of law to local, state or federal authorities.”

In the next section, we’ll cover the legality of hemp CBD oil in all 50 states, with detailed regulations in those states where CBD is conditionally legal.

Legal Status of Hemp-derived CBD By State

Full Spectrum CBD, Broad Spectrum CBD, Isolate: Which Form of CBD is the Safest to Travel With?

Full-spectrum CBD refers to extracts containing the entire range of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other naturally occurring hemp compounds. This means that a full-spectrum product also carries some THC content. The legal THC limit by federal law is 0.3% per volume.

However, some states may not allow full-spectrum CBD. If that’s the law in your destination, you can bring a broad-spectrum product. Broad-spectrum CBD products are similar to full-spectrum ones save for the lack of THC.

If you want to stay on the safe side, then CBD isolate is the best option. True to its name, isolate contains just pure CBD. There are no traces of other hemp compounds in the end product.

Traveling with CBD in Canada

As the pioneer in global cannabis legalization, Canada has a very liberal policy for CBD products.

What forms of CBD Are Legal in Canada?

Because both medical and recreational cannabis have been legalized in Canada, there’s no legal limit for the amount of THC in CBD products. You can legally purchase and possess both marijuana- and hemp-derived CBD.

Can You Travel With CBD Around Canada?

Yes, you can safely travel with up to a 30-day supply of CBD. However, CBD oils brought onto an airplane are subject to an airline’s limit on liquids, which is usually 100 ml in Canada.

Traveling with CBD from Canada to the USA

Traveling with hemp-derived CBD from Canada to the USA is legal because the US federal government removed hemp from the Controlled Substances Act in 2018. Nobody’s going to check for your CBD products unless the security suspects you’re trying to smuggle an illicit substance across the borders.

For marijuana-derived CBD, the rules are the same as for exporting hemp from one US state to another. If you try to take marijuana on an international flight, you’ll be charged with a criminal offense and put in jail. Period.

Traveling and Buying CBD in Europe

Europe is one of the most liberal regions of the world when it comes to marijuana and hemp. More countries are decriminalizing weed each year, and some of them are on a good way to legalizing all sources of CBD. Long story short, hemp-derived CBD is legal everywhere except Slovakia, where CBD is considered a schedule 2 drug. The general consensus is that CBD products must contain less than 0.2% THC, although certain countries have set their own limits on its content.

Legal Status of CBD in Europe by Country

Below we give you a brief overview of local CBD laws in countries most frequently visited by people traveling with CBD products.

Traveling and Buying CBD in France

Can I travel with my own CBD products to France? Yes, CBD products with 0.2% THC or less are legal, like in most other EU countries. Where to buy CBD in France CBD stores are quite popular in France, with a rapidly growing e-liquid sector. However, despite the sudden rise in popularity, reports from June indicate that the government is trying to draft out regulations to prohibit certain CBD products across the country. So if you’re visiting France and want to use different CBD formats, we recommend bringing your own.

Traveling and Buying CBD in Italy

Can I travel with my own CBD products to Italy? Yes, as long as they contain 0.6% THC or less. Where to Buy CBD in Italy Despite its thriving cannabis culture, Italy doesn’t have many head shops operating within the country. There are a few mediocre places that sell products from unrecognizable brands. When staying in Italy, you’ll need to either bring your own products or buy them online.

Traveling and Buying CBD in Spain

Can I travel with my own CBD products to Spain? Spain is the epicenter of the European cannabis community. With forward-thinking laws surrounding hemp and marijuana, CBD products from both sources are widely available across the country — although cannabis sales remain in the grey area. You can travel with CBD to Spain if your product contains less than 0.2% THC. Trying to bring marijuana-derived CBD on an international flight is considered a violation of international agreements regarding drug trafficking. Where to Buy CBD in Spain You can buy CBD in grow shops or natural/herbal product stores depending on the region. Spanish companies are known for making some of the best hemp extracts in the world; their crops are grown organically by local farmers as Spain has stricter quality-control regulations than the majority of European countries.

Traveling and Buying CBD in Greece

Where to buy CBD in Greece Similar to Italy, Greece doesn’t have many specialty stores with CBD products. Although CBD oil is quite common in larger cities, reports from tourists indicate their quality leaves a lot to be desired. Fortunately, since CBD is legal in Greece, you can bring your own products there and enjoy the quality you’re used to.

Traveling and Buying CBD in Russia

Where to buy CBD in Russia Given its legal status, there are currently no places where you could legally purchase CBD in Russia.

Traveling and Buying CBD in Turkey

Where to Buy CBD in Turkey There are no local manufacturers in Turkey at this point. CBD is not a popular topic in the country and thus you won’t find any head shops specializing in selling CBD isolates, for example. If you’re in Turkey for a longer period, consider buying CBD oil out of Japan, which has the same law when it comes to legal THC limits in their CBD products.

Traveling and Buying CBD in Australia & New Zealand

Australia and New Zealand surprisingly have some of the harshest laws surrounding hemp in the world. Buying CBD over the counter in both countries is not an option.

The only way to obtain CBD products is through the country’s special compassionate program, which is very similar to medical marijuana regulations. Simply put, you need a prescription to buy CBD oil, even if it’s derived from hemp.

The laws will probably change soon, but for now, Australia and New Zealand aren’t most sought after destinations for those traveling with CBD.

Can I travel with my own CBD products to Australia and New Zealand? No, bringing any CBD product to these countries is prohibited. You can only travel with products sourced from the seeds of hemp plants, as they are void of cannabinoids. Where to buy CBD in Australia and New Zealand As mentioned, buying CBD over the counter is not an option in Australia and New Zealand. Online purchases are often seized and can get you into serious trouble with the law.

Traveling and Buying CBD in Latin America

Most countries in Latin America legalized hemp-derived CBD. Cannabidiol is widely available in many forms, including tinctures, capsules, edibles, and vape products. However, not all Latin American countries are as progressive as Uruguay or Chile. The table below illustrates the differences in the legality of hemp-derived CBD in each country. Legal Status of CBD in Latin America By Country

Traveling and Buying CBD in Brazil

Can I travel with my own CBD products to Brazil? Yes, as long as these products contain less than 0.2% THC. Where to Buy CBD in Brazil CBD oil has become legal in the country since 2015. Since that ruling, many manufacturers have entered the marketplace and Brazil has currently one of the fastest growing CBD markets in Latin America. You can buy CBD both locally (in head shops and health centers) and online.

Traveling and Buying CBD in Argentina

Can I travel with my own CBD products to Argentina? Yes, but they must have 0.2% THC or less. Where to buy CBD in Argentina Hemp is legal in Argentina only for personal cultivation and use. Extraction and manufacturing with an intent to sell is prohibited, so there are no local stores that could offer CBD products. You can order CBD online if staying there for a decent period, or bring your own products.

Traveling and Buying CBD in Mexico

Can I travel with my own CBD products to Mexico? Yes, all CBD products containing less than 0.2% THC are widely available over-the-counter in Mexico. As long as your supplements meet the legal THC limit, you can also bring your own CBD there. Where to Buy CBD Oil in Mexico Mexico is one of the best countries to buy CBD in Latin America.

While China is a world-leading producer of hemp, countries like Singapore prohibit all cannabis products with harsh penalties, including a combination of heavy financial fines with prison time.

The Legal Status of CBD in Asia by Country

This country has highly strict laws on cannabis, and any illicit activities are severely punishable. Where to buy CBD in Singapore There are no CBD stores in Singapore, and nothing seems like that would change any time soon.

5 Tips for First-time CBD Travelers

Here are the 5 amendments for people traveling with CBD for the first time:

• Review the CBD policy for your destination before you depart : it’s a dead giveaway but it should be your top priority if you don’t want to end up in prison for drug trafficking crimes.
• Research additional limits on CBD as well : do your crew lines allow CBD on board? Can you bring full-spectrum products into your destination? Or does the country only allow CBD isolates? The fact CBD is legal where you travel to doesn’t mean you can go all out and use every form of CBD there.
• Bring your product’s CoA with you : the certificate of analysis is a lab report confirming the cannabinoid profile of your product. It’s the only way to prove that your CBD has the legal amount of THC during any security check.
• Buy travel-size CBD : this is particularly important for liquid limits. Since most people take CBD in the form of oil drops, they will be subjected to standard airport liquid restrictions; airports usually allow travelers to bring 100 ml bottles on board. You may also consider buying a vape pen. Vape pens are very travel-friendly for all means of traffic.
• Leave your CBD at home : if CBD is legal in your country of destination but you don’t know what the additional limits on CBD products are, you can leave your CBD oil at home and research your opportunities to buy a replacement oil somewhere upon arrival.

Can You Be Jailed for Traveling with CBD Around the World?

If you purposely try to bring a CBD product with higher than permitted levels of THC, or you’re traveling with a mislabeled product, you can get arrested and be put into trial by the local court under their jurisdiction.

The severity of punishments for cannabis-related offenses varies greatly between countries, but if you want to stay away from travel, we suggest you always carry CBD from hemp and make sure you familiarize yourself with cannabis policies at your destination place.

Traveling with hemp-derived CBD is tolerated in most countries around the world, but it’s always good to err on the side of caution — especially on a foreign territory.

Final Thoughts on Traveling with CBD Around the World

While many people are still afraid of facing legal charges — or, at the very least, a delay in their flight caused by extra security control — traveling with CBD becomes more and more popular every month.

If you must travel with CBD products around the world, always have a certificate of analysis at hand, and above all, remember to research the laws regarding cannabidiol at your destination.

Trip CBD drinks & oils review (our honest thoughts)

3 minute read

Updated February 15th, 2024

TRIP is a CBD brand based in the UK. We first heard about TRIP after seeing their CBD drinks stocked in a few supermarkets like Sainsbury's , but after conducting a bit of research we realised that their CBD oils are also very popular.

For this reason we decided to conduct a review of TRIP CBD products. We'll be taking a look at their products and third-party reviews, let's get into it:

Who is TRIP?

There is a nice 'Our Story' section on the TRIP website that provides you with a bit of background about the TRIP team. The brand was founded by couple Dan and Live was back in 2019. Dan suffered a knee injury weeks before the pair were supposed to get married, and he needed something to get him back on his feet and up the aisle without hobbling. He tried CBD and found it to be effective for his recovery. So once the marriage papers had been signed, Dan and Liv wasted no time in starting their own CBD brand.

We love this backstory because it comes from a genuine place and we recommend you check out the 'About Us' page for the full story.

Are the TRIP CBD products (drinks & oils) good?

TRIP is perhaps best known for their CBD drinks, but they do have CBD oils also. Let's start with the CBD drinks:

TRIP has 3 lightly sparkling drinks and a cold-brew coffee that you can choose from. Flavours include elderflower mint (pictured here), peach ginger (pictured at the top) and lemon basil. Each can contains around 15mg of CBD which is a nice dosage, and they're all also low-calorie too (19 calories in a can of the elderflower mint). Unlike many CBD drinks that we see, these are lab-tested and contain absolutely no added sugar, which is impressive.

Likewise, the cold-brew coffee contains 15mg of CBD and is made with Guatemalan specialty grade coffee brewed for 24 hours in East London.

What about the TRIP CBD oils?

If you'd rather check out the CBD oils then TRIP also have a pretty good range - you can choose between 4 different CBD oils with 2 different flavours (Wild Mint or Orange Blossom). Strengths are either 300mg or 1000mg of CBD per bottle. These products are also third-party tested and made in the UK.

Overall we're really impressed with this range and recommend you explore it for yourself.

What are the TRIP third-party reviews like?

TRIP collects reviews for their CBD products directly on their product pages which is really convenient. As you can see from the screenshot we've included, their products are highly rated - including the Wild Mint CBD oil which has a near-perfect score from over 60 reviews. We recommend you explore the product pages for yourself so check those out.

In Conclusion

The TRIP brand is perhaps best known for their range of CBD drinks, but they also have some awesome CBD oils. Definitely check these products out!

This review was published by the CBD Bible team. We publish hundreds of reviews every month, feel free to explore our website for more reviews and CBD guides.

Half of my order was missing

Half of my order was missing. The drinks arrived and the flavours were lovely. However, the coolbox was missing and it was quite expensive. I sent Trip a message and a photo of my delivery, but never received a response. Very disappointing.

Lovely drinks, reasonable pricing

The drinks are lovely, and I find the pricing reasonable especially since they have regular promotions. Fast reliable delivery too

Date of experience : 16 March 2024

Size of Bottle Not Clear

Unfortunately had to knock a star off :-( The size of the actual bottle is misleading. After previously buying Dream Drops, which turned up in 30ml bottle, I believe the Orange Blossom & Chamomile would be the same. It is not, it is half the size 15ml. On another note TRIP products being sold on the Holland & Barrett website make the size of the bottle completely obvious. I still think TRIP products are great just a little disappointed that the size of bottle isn't clear.

The worst customer service and no product

Ordered a subscription from these guys on 12th June. It's now the 19th of June and the tracking states the delivery company doesn't even have it yet. Sent a message on the site 2 days ago, sent an email directly to them 1 day ago - absolutely nothing in return. £30 spent on a box of nothing, and I didn't even get the box. Will be looking to do a chargeback through my card company in the next 24 hours and will never buy anything through these guys again.

Date of experience : 12 June 2024

So far so good 😊

Taken the plunge to come off of my anxiety tablets (at medical advice) But I still have dull days. Just received my order today, had one of the drinks and tried the orange blossom drops and within half an hour I can feel a difference! Very calming, and general life seems a lot more tolerable 😂 Will judge long term and update! Thanks Trip!

Date of experience : 02 February 2024

Fabulous Customer Service

I haven't received my first order yet as I mistakenly auto filled my old address in delivery details. Contacted customer services and offered to pay any additional delivery charges - Olive came back very quickly to say they'd happily send me a new box out free of charge. What brilliant CS!! Thank you Trip

Wonderful Brand

Trip is such a wonderful brand that really has brought more calm and presence into my life. My favourite of the drinks are the Lemon & Basil CBD can (great with pasta dishes or over ice on a hot day), and the Raspberry & Orange Blossom 'calm down' can, which really helps me to relax and drift off at night (don't be put off by the apple cider vinegar smell - it doesn't taste of it!). I recently switched from the 1,000mg CBD oil at night to the 3,000mg Dream Drops. When I first ordered the Dream Drops, I was disappointed that the price was so much higher and didn't seem to truly reflect the strength increase. When my order arrived, the bottle was significantly larger than my previous 1,000mg bottles, and the bottle lasts twice as long! I struggle with insomnia and unrefreshed sleep due to fibromyalgia and surgical menopause, but the Dream Drops have really helped to improve my sleep. I can't wait to try the magnesium-blend drinks, and I'd love to see more lifestyle accessories in the future!

I absolutely love their drinks

I absolutely love their drinks. My favourite is the green one!!

Easy to order

Easy to order , quick delivery , looking forward to trying a different flavour

Date of experience : 26 June 2024

Absolutely love these drinks!

Absolutely love these drinks! I'm not a fan of normal fizzy drinks or flavoured waters and get very bored with plain water to drink. These are fab if you want something that maybe tastes a bit like a cocktail (pour over ice and enjoy!) and help chill you out a bit. Also a great alternative if you're not wanting to drink anything alcoholic but want something a bit tasty that's not sweet or boring!

Reply from TRIP Drinks

We're so happy to hear you enjoyed them Jane 💛

Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

I’m now a regular customer of Trip having found nothing but amazing benefits from using their CBD oil to control my anxiety. It’s not a cure but it does dissipate those awful butterflies enough for you to get hold of things in a natural and far more beneficial way. Have been recommending Trip to my friends and family too. The drinks are also a really nice and refreshing addition to your more stressful days. Take a deep breath, breathe deeply and enjoy your Trip.xx

We're so happy to hear this Sophie! Thank you for sharing your experience 😍

Thank you, Trip!

I have no idea what I'd do without my trip! Really gentle way to mellow out in times of stress/ busyness/ wanting to wind down. Love the dosage options and flavours available, alongside the extra ingredients to enhance CBDs natural effect. Plus- you can't go wrong with pink packaging !

Date of experience : 12 September 2023

Pink is always a winner Natasha! Thank you for sharing this review :)

Love these drinks

Love these drinks! Love having the subscription turn up, and it's really easy to skip a month if needed like I did when I went away. I don't love the shipping they use Huboo which was unhelpful with a delivery query but the products themselves are fab.

Funky taste but amazing nights sleep

I’ve tried the other trip drinks and not been taken with them, they didn’t do the job replacing alcohol. got the heavier one and despite being quite shocked by the taste ( it’s like vinegar with sugar in it) I had an amazing nights sleep and woke up really rested. It only works for me if I take a magnesium with it. Without it nothing happens. It does have magnesium in it but obviously not enough for me. The funky taste grows on you especially as you know you’re going to get a great nights sleep. I have no problem falling asleep but I’ve always woken up in the night. I didn’t buy it to help with sleep so I’m very pleasantly surprised.

First time trying Trip

Tried Trip for the first time after getting a promotional code for signing up for a monthly subscription. I got the pack of 6, with the 3 different flavours, the mint and elderflower takes some getting used to but the peach and ginger is lovely! I’m not sure I felt the full effect after 1 can so I’m keeping my subscription to up my intake and see what happens. Great price though for a great product and delivered earlier than expected too.

Thank you so much for the feedback Louise! Dosing is really personal - similar to how caffeine or alcohol can affect everyone differently. Feel free to start with a lower regular dose (15-30MG per serving) then note how you feel and top up with additional drinks or oils if needed. For context, our CBD drinks contain 15MG per can, our 300MG CBD oils contain 20MG per dropper, and our 1000MG oils contain 66MG per dropper 💛

CBD newbie... A lifetime convert

Great introductory offer and what a great company and product. Delivery was fast, the product itself is superb quality. The subscription is easy to change and good value for money. Never tried cbd before but the calm it gives without tiredness or brain fog is tremendous. I don't think I'll ever stop taking it, but it's helped bin the alcohol.

So happy we can be helping you to find your calm Lucie!

Brilliant alternative to alcohol!

Absolutely love Trip drinks and so pleased there’s now a subscription service with a lower price. Also really pleased with the new Duo drinks packs with Elderflower & Mint and Lemon & Basil (Ginger and Peach is nice, but you can’t taste the peach at all… so my least favourite of the 3). Also to say, I now reach for these instead of wine and they’ve played a significant part in keeping me booze free.

Welcome to The Calm Club! What a great review to receive, thank you so much for sharing!

Superb customer service

Had a few of their drinks from supermarkets and they taste amazing so I thought I buy it from their website. Sadly I had issues with the deliveries but their customer service team is absolutely brilliant and after all the inconvenience, I still highly recommend them and their drinks/oils!

I love these drinks as an anytime daily…

I love these drinks as an anytime daily drink but also a substitute for alcohol. I felt the benefits of the CBD oil after using it over a few weeks, mainly to sleep quality and a calmer mood! As a nutritionist @nourishedforlife I look for quality ingredients and Trip ticked many boxes for me, in fact I recommend it to my clients! ✌🏼

So glad you're enjoying and recommending to your clients Kam!

WHAT'S THE ECS?

The ECS is an incredible network of tiny receptors found throughout the body that play a crucial role in regulating the body's optimal balance, including our sleep, stress, anxiety, immune system, pain and inflammation. 

When your ECS is back in balance, you may feel more productive and creative, less anxious and stressed.
