With so many emerging hemp products, it can be difficult to choose the most effective. All it takes is one poorly formulated product to deter someone from falling in love with hemp. Such was the case for myself.

Several months ago, I started feeling more restless and fatigued than I had felt in recent years. Between my full-time job as an associate editor for a major publication and my decision to go back to graduate school, I felt the stresses piling up. So, I decided to look for a remedy to curb my lethargy.

There were tons of options to help me relax ranging from prescription medication to over-the-counter supplements. But everything seemed so clinical and unnatural. I surveyed my roommates and was told that I should finally try hemp. While I had never tried hemp before, I definitely held a stigma against it. I thought it came from hemp and that hemp could get you high. Still, I decided to give it a chance. I walked over to my nearest pharmacy and bought the first veil of tincture oil I could find.

I'll be honest...I definitely didn't get high. In fact, I didn't feel anything! I waited and waited, but alas saw no effect. "Well I guess this isn't for me," I thought to myself. And just like that, I closed the book on hemp. At least, I thought I did.

One day, I was scrolling through my Instagram feed. I noticed that one of my friends posted their arsenal of hemp products with the hashtag #HEMPMOVEMENT. Being a skeptic of the "movement," I clicked on the hashtag expecting to be bombarded with fake influencer posts and other nonsense, but what surprised to see how many real people were raving about hemp.

After a little more digging, I realized that this hashtag came from one brand in particular, CB Distillery. I decided to check out their website to see what all the hubbub was about. The first thing I noticed was how educational they were. Upon entering the site, I was prompted to enter my email for their "Ultimate Hemp User Guide." To be fair, I wasn't expecting much. But once I opened the guide, I was pleasantly surprised.

Not only was it incredibly detailed, providing information about the different types of hemp-derived hemp and how to determine your correct dose, it also provided a fantastic overview of how hemp works (and I'll admit that up until this point, I had no idea how it worked). Now that I was feeling more optimistic about hemp, I checked out CB Distillery's website to see if anything caught my eye. The first thing I immediately noticed was how affordable all of their products were. Were these cheap compared to other hemp products I had tried in the past?

Nope. CB Distillery has one mission and one mission only: to provide affordable and accessible hemp for the masses. This means better prices and more diverse product offerings without compromising on potency. Oil tinctures, softgels, gummies, topicals; you name it, they got it. In fact, many of CB Distillery's products are more potent than their competitors. I tried their 1000mg Full Spectrum tincture, which contains 33ml of 1000 MG full-spectrum hemp oil per serving, and was shocked by how quickly it kicked in.

CB Distilleryis the first hemp brand to release a Certificate of Analysis, a document from an accredited laboratory that shows the specific quantities of each cannabinoid in a specific product. All CB Distillery products use non-GMO industrial hemp and are third-party tested to guarantee quality and consistency. If that's not enough for you, CB Distillery also puts a QR code on each product that allows you to view any third-party test results.

After trying CB Distillery, I can confidently say that I was wrong. I may have been skeptical at first, but between the variety of products, accessible price point, and industry-leading transparency, I had no reservations about giving hemp a second chance. If you're anything like me, check out CB Distillery today to find your next and last wellness regimen.

Listen, it takes a lot for me to make a big purchase. I go back and forth, leave the website tab open on my browser for a week, and then just forget about it and never buy the thing.

So when one by one, all my friends started getting into hemp oil, I rolled my eyes so hard. That stuff was NOT cheap. What even was it?

One said it made her feel "less stressed." Um, okay. Placebo effect, girl. My brother's friend was using it to get to sleep, and my boss's boss had a bottle of it on her desk. Everyone was claiming it relieved their ailments, and I'm way too logical to believe that, so I decided to do some research.

Hemp oil is known to support decreased pain, stress, and sleeplessness due to the plant's anti-inflammatory properties. Why not just take some turmeric and call it a day?!

Or was it the opposite, and everyone was running around high all the time? Nobody seemed stoned, so I looked it up, and that's the one thing every single "guide to hemp" agrees on: this won't get you high because it's not a psychoactive element.

On Monday, when I went into work, I was first in the office, so I looked at the bottle on my boss's boss's desk. It was a happy, retro shade of orange with a cool font that read " Feals."

I looked up their website to see what was in a bottle, and it contained coconut oil and hemp oil along with less than 0.03% of a mind-altering compound. Would this get you high??!

Their FAQ was pretty detailed — apparently, trace amounts are present in "full-spectrum" hemp products and help support the calming effects. Maybe this stuff actually does help.

Something that I've tried to help de-stress is meditation. I read a self-help book earlier this year to help focus my goals, and I found meditating to be helpful, but I couldn't get into the zone for more than like 2 seconds. The only way I could see myself using this product was actually to try it with meditation. If I could just de-stress a little bit, I'd be able to look more inward.

Then, I saw something that made me actually consider purchasing the product — Feals offered a $20 Flight of Hemp Oil. I'd never seen anything under $50 in any guide I read.

They have 3 strengths and offer all 3 in the Flight, so you can try them before you make a larger purchase. I decided to take the plunge!

When my Flight arrived, it came in a pretty white box. I opened it up to reveal the 3 golden oil vials and instructions. I still didn't fully trust it, and I need to stay sharp at work, so I waited until the weekend to try the lightest dose. I placed the dropper under my tongue, held for 30 seconds, and swallowed as it suggested.

I went back to collecting data for a work presentation that week when, after maybe 20-30 minutes, I felt different.

Just relaxed. Like I'd just gotten back from a Caribbean vacation, but without the sunburn. I inhaled deeply. I exhaled deeply. I went back to work.

At work, my presentation went great! I hadn't stayed up too late fiddling or worrying about how I was going to speak on it. I think I'm more high strung than I thought!

Later that week, I went to the DMV, so I tried the medium potency dose (80 MG). I didn't feel high at all, but when an hour went by, and my spot in the DMV line had barely moved? I was chill as a cucumber. I started meditating and became the happiest person there.

My favorite me was the DMV, so I ordered a bottle of the medium-strength oil for when I needed a little relaxation, joy, and focus.

With Feals, I was able to really listen to my body's needs with the Flight, and respond by finding a potency that enhances my life, but didn't alter it.

I went from thinking this was a total crock, to proudly displaying it on my desk, and telling everyone about the Feals Flight. Also, with and without it, I've been able to meditate up to 20 minutes now without fidgeting!

It's only $20, so that's all you have to lose if you want to try hemp oil. I'm so glad I found this.

Offer Expires In

Recently, I've been having the odd stressful day at work more often than not. I got promoted and it feels like my to-do list is never-ending. When I reach that heightened level of stress, I freeze up and can't get anything done.

I can't shake the feeling when I get home, which also means I'm getting barely any sleep.

One day, I spotted something interesting on my co-worker's desk. It looked like a 3-pack of perfume samples. When I saw her dropping an oil into her mouth, I was confused.

"Amy, what's that?" "Try it." she replied. "It'll make you feel better. I ordered the hemp Flight from Feals of 3 different dosages to find out the right strength for me."

Hemp oil? At the office?! I had heard of it and seen it around, but I didn't know too much about it. "What does it do?"

She said it's known to have all kinds of benefits, from pain and anxiety relief to sleep. "I take it for stress," she said, "but my mom takes it for her back pain."

Even though it worked great for Amy, I was kinda scared to take it.

I mean, what if it made me high? How would I know how much to take? She sent me the Feals website to see what I could learn, and I was really impressed with all the information.

They have real people's testimonials and a "help" section that was very informative – you can even call a hotline or instantly chat with someone about your questions. When I saw the testimonials and read that it can't get me high, I felt a lot better about trying it.

But I was still unsure about which strength – which is where their Flight comes into play. The flight is made up of 3 vials in different strengths – 600 MG, 1200 MG, and 2400 MG.

I did a quick search for other brands, but the Feals site is the most transparent, with plenty of testimonials from real people and lots of information. I chatted with someone on the live chat and it was so helpful to be able to ask all the questions. I explained to them my issue and they explained that the Flight is a great way to try out different strengths to see which one would be best for me. Plus, it's just $20. So I decided to order it, and it arrived within a few days.

I started off by trying the 600 MG, the lowest dose. I felt the effects, I think, but it was so gentle, it wasn't quite what I needed. I tried 1200 MG the next time I felt anxious, and I felt the relief this time. It swept over me, but I was still sharp and productive for work.

I was happy with the 1200 MG, but I thought I should still try the 2400 MG, just so I knew for sure. A few nights later when I felt anxious and couldn't sleep, I reached for the 2400 MG sample. It left me feeling relaxed and sleepy, but I woke up a little groggy, so I knew the 1200 MG was the dose for me.

With this discovery, I ordered a bottle of the 1200 MG off the Feals website for when I get that overwhelming stressed or anxious feeling that I just can't shake off with a few deep breaths.

Now, when I have a big meeting, a dropper really helps ease my nerves. Or if I'd have a crazy day and feel overwhelmed, a dose helps me wind down and have a great night's sleep.

My brother recently had trouble sleeping, so I directed him to the Feals flight, and he ended up getting the 2400 MG bottle after trying all the strengths. It has really helped him fix his sleeping habits, so much so that he decided to subscribe and he now gets 30% off his bottles every month.

Feals made my experience trying hemp oil so much less scary thanks to their informative website and helpful service. Plus, the Flight makes finding the right strength for you so easy. I never thought calming hemp would be for me, but I'm so glad I tried it.

My entire customer experience with Feals was great, from navigating the site to chatting with someone, to being able to test out different strengths before buying a whole bottle. I'd recommend Feal's service to anyone who would like to try hemp oil but is unsure where to begin.
