“When I say I use cannabis for my health and wellness routine, I take a combination of hemp dried CBD, which is naturally legal, and THC, which is psychotropic and will make you feel high depending on the amount that you take.” — Beryl Solomon [0:12:16]“CBD is a real thing. It helps with inflammation, it helps with pain, it helps with balance. THC is different. THC is going to affect your brain. It’s going to help you think more creatively, or stop your mind from racing so much, or help you sleep.” — Beryl Solomon [0:18:38]“I believe – and most of the research shows – that the best CBD products also have small amounts of THC in them. Not enough THC to get you high. It’s from hemp which means, by definition, it’s less than 0.3 percent THC.” — Beryl Solomon [0:18:55]“There’s a system in our body called the endocannabinoid system and it is literally built to absorb this plant. It is a lock and key system. It knows what to do with this plant when we put it in our body.” — Beryl Solomon [0:22:34]
