The Best Hemp Oil to Try Right Now

A year ago, it might have been hard to imagine the impact that cannabidiol—the chill, non-psychoactive part of the hemp plant you most likely know as CBD—would have on our daily lives. Legislation passed at the end of 2018 that removed industrial hemp from the list of controlled substances, making it legal in all 50 states for the first time ever (as long as it followed the fine print). Just like that, the trail was blazed for CBD, or hemp extract, to make its way into your wellness routine.

As more people turn into fans, claiming to feel benefits like help maintaining a less-stressed day and better night’s sleep, more options become available to help you feel good, minus the high.* And so, the hemp extract craze continues.
