Considering the wide availability of CBD, you’re sure to wonder what it is and what it does. Alternatively, maybe you’ve tried it but are unaware of all the forms CBD can have. With a multitude of strains for various ailments, CBD has never been so available and so timely right here in Chicago.
For instance, if you’re looking to focus without the stress? There’s a strain for that. Maybe you’re looking to have more energy but not jittery? There’s a strain for that. In all honesty, CBD is like Oprah for your everyday aches, pains, and gripes. Imagine: as you eat a gummy, Oprah is exclaiming, “You get relief! And you get relief!”
As a general rule of thumb, you’ll want full-spectrum. This way, you can get the most of the cannabinoids available from the hemp plant. In other words, full-spectrum means more naturally occurring cannabinoids. Of course, consult the knowledgeable staff at any of these local shops (albeit virtually). They are more than happy to help you find a strain and product perfect for you, your needs, and lifestyle.
Consumables
ConsumablesTinctures and Oils
Tincture vs. oil — same diff, right? Well, sort of. Technically speaking, tinctures and oils are slightly different. To tailor your CBD experience, be sure you know what you want CBD to do! For a more concentrated or potent option, you’ll want to try an oil (albeit these are more expensive in nature). Tinctures are also a great option for those who are new to the CBD world because they are less bitter in taste and less potent. Either way, you’re sure to find relief with these products.
Find tinctures and oils at HuxHemp in Chicago, where they offer a variety of full-spectrum CBD products between the hours of 11:00 am – 4:20 pm. Most notable for Frankie and their beyond-friendly staff, HuxHemp is a beloved option for CBD newbies and CBD devotees alike.
Gummies
Way better than Flintstone Gummies. Gummies are probably the tastiest of the options (and most whimsical!), CBD gummies range between 10mg – 30mg of CBD. Because gummies are processed through your digestive system, the effects will be in full force – but a touch delayed.
Check out Diamond Venom’s gummy selection for higher doses of CBD per gummy.
Capsules
Maybe you have a routine already and smoking doesn’t fit in it. Bottom line: you want to incorporate CBD into your schedule but are unsure how to do so. There’s an option for you, too! Capsules are an effortless way to augment your daily vitamins/medications. Capsules will have a more potent dose of CBD (25 mg, full-spectrum), so you’ll need less throughout the day. Capsules are a viable option for you if you don’t necessarily enjoy lighting up a roll during the day.
Botanic Alternatives has a wide range of capsules in different dosages. Botanic Alternatives offers pickups for Wednesdays – Sundays between 11 am – 5 pm. Delivery options are available as well and their staff is happy to chat on the phone for any questions prior to purchasing.
Teas
Two worlds collide to bring you a radical concoction: tea and CBD. In their own right, teas and CBD are naturally soothing. However, together, CBD tea is a match made in heaven. Game-changer. You’ll only increase your relaxation with the aroma, warmth, and soothing characteristics of CBD tea. Look for specific strains and combinations that are ideal for different times during the day!
Chicago Cannabis Company has a variety of teas that are modestly priced and available for shipping!
Smoking
CBD Pre-Roll or Flower
Smoking CBD flower has never been this easy – and effective! For nearly-immediate relief of anxiety or minor pains, smoking a CBD roll is a viable option. Be sure to have papers and a grinder ready if you only purchase flower. Otherwise, you can purchase pre-rolls for instant relief!
Chicago CBD and Hemp offers a variety of pre-rolls, flower, and papers for all of your CBD rolling and smoking needs.

Home
Essential Oils
If you’re already on the diffuser track, maybe you’ll consider a CBD essential oil. Although this might not be the most direct way to address anxiety or aches, essential oils for diffusers are a mainstream way to add a more inviting and earthy vibe to your home. After all, your home is not just a home. It’s your favorite restaurant and bar, your trusty gym, and your office. Might as well synchronize its variety of purposes with a variety of scents!
