Don't Know Sh*t About CBD? Start Here! | CBD for Beginners | CBD for Dummies | Hemp for Humanity

Posted by Thaddeus Winston on May 9th 2022

Brent: Hey guys it's Brent and Thad again and if you don't know s*** about CBD this is a video for you. So you know Thad and I get phone calls we get emails people come in all the time obviously that don't know s*** about CBD. I mean literally like “what is it? I don't think about it”

Thad: Some people call it “CDB”

Brent: right whatever so we thought we just kind of talk a little bit about that you know and kind of ease some of your concerns you know some questions and that kind of thing and I want to do that by just kind of give an example. Here's an email we got from a customer I won't say who it is but basically it says this customers new to CBD actually not even a believer but someone suggested that they try it. They looked at our site they're really confused they're in their mid-40s, don't do any drugs but has a real high level at stress at work. Not real sure what to do and want’s a suggestion on what to use but doesn't want to spend a lot of money. This is kind of a typical conversation you know when people that come in for the first time. Basically what we wanted to do was to unpack that email and kind of talk about each one of them (the questions/statements she made) and again kind of easier concerns if you have any of these. The four main points kind of in that email were:

  1. I don't believe in CBD
  2. I don't do any drugs…really?
  3. Suggestions! “Give me a suggestion”
  4. “Dont wanna spend a lot of money”…we get it we dont either!

Brent: So lets kind of go over each one of those Thad.

“I dont believe in CBD”

Thad: Yeah so if you dont believein CBD, i dont want to say its “silly” but at the same point, it is

science. You know, there are receptors in your body that CBD interacts with. Believe that something is going to interact in your body (because thats the way the body works). Now what you may not believe is all this hype and all this crazy you know people saying some miracle thing it does all this this and that. For some people it is but you know it's it's nuanced and it depends on the person. So I get if you don't believe that it's going to be this end all be all gonna give you everything you want in the world, you know kind of thing. We don't either! But believe that it's scientifically proven, we have receptors, we have the system within our body that CBD/cannabinoids all these different products that we carry at the store, will interact with. It's not snake oil, it does actually work. Now it works in different levels for different people so that's where you know there might be some misconception about what CBD does.

Brent: “it's also kind of the answer, it's also the point of why we want people to come in (the store) and have the conversation. You know “I don't believe in CBD” that's a big statement right? It can mean several things (making it) hard to communicate via text or phone and that's why we like to have an internal conversations in the store so, okay “I don't do any drugs”

“I don’t do any drugs”

Thad: First of all, yeah you do.

Brent *laughs*

Thaddeus: In all honesty though, If you drink coffee, caffeine is a drug. If you take any kind of prescriptions, those are all drugs. You know like most people in the world take “drugs” and so (the statement) “I don't take drugs” I think like I said that's kind of bs but I think was the lady was talking about she doesn't want to get high. You know she's she doesn't want to get high and you know she's probably talking more or less about the THC side of things and we understand that. It's not it's not for everybody you know some people are really uncomfortable with that feeling so we have other options. But, you know, you do drugs.

Brent: And the truth to the matter is, if you don't do drugs you know there are people that don't do caffeine, that don't take any pharmaceuticals, don't take any kind of message there are only homeopathic, only on and that's cool too! Right, we can have that conversation as well so you know we understand that there are people that (really) don't do drugs yeah. Most of people that say they “don't do drugs” and they mean “I don't want I don't smoke pot and I don't want to get high” and we get that. that's not what we're about.

Thaddeus: And on that point too, that kind of thought process is probably more or less a stigma, the stigma around THC that's due to you know the past and the way it was viewed. You know if you really want to kind of change the way you think about drugs and more specifically like THC and you know those kind of things, look up a guy his name is Harry Anslinger. This is the guy that got most people to think that THC was a bad thing.

Brent: Fake news!

Thaddeus: Yeah it was fake news! It's probably the one of the original fake news and just know. So look up him and the kind of person he was and know this person, is probably the reason why you think the way you do around marijuana. So you know, educate yourself.

Brent: Dont just listen to us, go out and read. We also did a video on that:The History of Hemp | Colonial Hemp Farming, Reefer Madness, and US Farm Bills | Hemp for Humanity

on our YouTube channel so go check that out. it's pretty well known and pretty well documented that…again fake news we won't go any further into that. Okay so ,suggestions. Give me a suggestion

“Suggestions, give me a suggestion of what to take!?”

Thaddeus: Yeah so you know if we were just looking to make quick buck there's an easy answer to this. That is we would say take 25mg to 50mg to 100mg CBD every day boom that's the answer.

Brent: call us in the morning.*laughs*

Thaddeus: *laughs* yeah but we really do want to get you results because ultimately that's not only going to give you better results it's going to help you know our business and all that kind of stuff. It's not, we're not just trying to sell you something. We want to get you results and so suggestions, they vary! You know everyone's kind of got the unique situation so if someone comes back with a straight up this kind of answer (to this question) you should probably view that as a red flag. Most oftentimes I answer questions with more questions. Which is kind of annoying and sometimes you know sometimes if you're the kind of person who just wants that immediate “I want this” “just give me a suggestion” we can do that route too but we very much so would like to know and take a history of what other things you've maybe tried in the past. How long you've been dealing with this (anxiety, pain, etc) you know cuz in all honesty, I know Brent doesn't like this, but sometimes I will literally probably suggest you don't take CBD products. You know, I'm just trying to be honest, it's (CBD) not for everybody and at the same time it's not, like we talked earlier, it's not some miracle cure drug. It's a supplement. you know it's supplements what you're doing. Sometimes you can take all the CBD in the world but if you're essentially doing all the wrong stuff it's not going to make a difference and so I'm not going to recommend you take this product if you're doing this this this this and this. It's going to negate that you know?

Brent: and so give us an example of this, if just kind of clarifying that, if this person came in and said this to you you know “hey I'm not really a believer about it you know somebody kind of suggested it you know this is kind of what you know is how old I am you know this is kind of my stress level at work and this is what I do you know give me a suggestion”. So give me kind of two scenarios: the first scenario the wrong scenario that you won't get when you come into our store and somebody comes in and says that

Thaddeus: Yeah yeah so I mean if I really didn't care about you really feel something and I didn't care if you liked it or not, I would just go ahead and say Delta 8 (THC) product because you know you will feel “chill” for the most part and most people will. But like she said she doesn't want drugs you know so that's you know that would be a part of the conversation and even to that point she said that if I can maybe portray that you know it's not “drugs” like the way you're viewing it and at an appropriate dose it (THC) can be very very helpful I may still recommend Delta 8. It's like that could be the wrong recommendation if I just you know said boom there you go or it can be the right one if I really actually have to take the time to conversate with her.

Brent: and find out what what you know what what does stress even mean to you? What's causing you stress? you know whenyou say “I don't do drugs” what does that mean? You realize that caffeine is a drug so you do so let's look kind of reiterate that. Does that mean you don't want to get high? Okay well this you know this isn't going to get you high you know does that mean you have a drug test so you can't take this (THC). I mean there's so many different conversations to have, you know that we try to have with people when they come in the store or or anybody. Coming into the store you know yeah it's really the best way to get these questions answered.

Thaddeus: We need to talk to you about it. You know it's not going to be a quick little, I mean it can be sometimes. It can be very easy and I don't want to say it's difficult, it's not. It's just nuanced. You know it's not a scary thing, theres just a lot going on. We do our best to be educated on this. Often times we say our brand is our knowledge. You know we don't have a product that's made by Humanity Health CBD. Our product is our due diligence to look up the ingredients in our products and know what's in them and know, for the most part, how the majority of people will respond to these kind of products.

Brent: I'll be honest with you, Thad you just made a good point about due diligence you know. Again, you know we're we're trying to present product to people. To help people answer their questions because there's a lot of them out there right. We're not, we don't make these products. You know we do pride ourselves in trying to find quality products you know that are safe you know that people that we we talked to the manufacturers that we've talked to understand kind of how they're manufacturing but everything is moving very fast right and there's a lot of information out there. We just encourage you to go out and seek all that information. Right, don't just listen to us right, we're just a couple dummies that are running a CBD store.

Thaddeus: Some smart dummies

Brent: *laughs* you know but look at manufacturers that we you sell look at other manufacturers. You know all these guys, a lot of these guys if they're any good at what they do and really are honest and what they do and are trying to help people like we are you know they're putting all this information out too on their website. So you can check their websites to see that we're not just telling you a bunch of BS. You can see other things that they talk about that we don't even know about. So educate yourself you know we're happy to help we're happy to guide you you know but we are not the “end all be all” so please do do your own due diligence for sure. So…money yeah, the final point. You know we have a lot of products in the store. We have products up to you and over $100 you know but we also have products that are $3.99. So what are you doing with somebody comes in and says “I don't have a lot of money” you know we get it, “how do I try something what do I do?”.

Thaddeus: yeah you know i mean, theres a couple different points to that. You can try the product that you know is easy on the wallet but also expect you know maybe there to be…

Brent: “Easy on the wallet” meaning that if you go to a non-CBD store we keep saying work gas stations sound bad but places that don't sell health products, why are you buying product from there? You know we don't sell gas there are reasons. Understand what you are buying. It’s not just about price. You don't just have to go to a non-CBD store to get something cheap you know we have…

Thaddeus: I just wanted to address the first point being like if you want cheap product expect cheap results but we do have good product at a lower price. You know like sample sizes like we have some like 10 packs or two packs that aren’t going to break the bank but you could also you know get a good understanding of you know what these parts could potentially do for you. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get good quality product but you know, the price tag does kind of reflect the kind of quality you're going to get from it. You know a lot of these companies they have to do third-party tests, they don't actually (“have to”) but they do and that costs money and therefore the price of the products will go up a little bit. So like on that point of the third testing. This is kind of a little side note, if you ever buy any thing make sure the third party testing on it. It's not a hundred percent guarantee but it's way better than a product that doesn't have it in there because essentially you don't know what you're getting if there's no kind of testing.

Brent: we also have a video on that so check out our YouTube channel it goes a little bit in depth on products and quality of products and how to buy quality products. So yeah I mean you know the the the end of that conversation is you know for 20 bucks you can get a 10 to 20 day supply to try something to see if it works. So again, we're not it's the monetary side of it we have solutions for that as well. So you know so anyway, I think we kind of covered things: 1.) I don't believe in CBD, 2.) don't do any drugs, 3.) suggestions/money. I think to round it off you know the the true the end result of this conversation is we really would like to talk to you face to face. We would like you to come in the store. You know we know not everybody can do that we understand that but if you can't you know we can communicate via email phone call that kind of thing. It just take some honestly just Thad and I so it takes a little bit of planning you know to to make that happen. So but we've looked below in the video we've got some information down there on how to communicate with us and like I said again if you don't know s*** about CBD reach out to us we're happy to help answer the questions that we can and kind of get you on a pathway to to hopefully

Thaddeus: better health!

Brent: better health, yeah. So thanks for listening guys, take care of each other, peace!
