The ABCDs of CBD for Women
With CBD showing up in just about every consumer product these days – from cosmetics to bath balms to fizzy drinks – how can women know what works, what is good for them or where to find it?
“As with any decision about your health, it’s important to forget the hype and start with number
one – yourself,” advises Richard Carey, co-founder of Atlantic WeedBoard a new website that serves as a resource and community for all things cannabis and helps guide consumers through the wellness benefits and choices of CBD products, with engaging videos and interviews with experts.
Here are some tips from Atlantic WeedBoard on the ABCDs of CBD for women:
A stands for ALL ABOUT YOU. Whether you want to treat pain or stress, internal or external discomfort, choosing the best product depends on identifying the condition you want to treat and the kinds of medicine you are comfortable taking.
B means you need to LISTEN TO YOUR BODY. How do you feel? Where does it hurt? What are you doing now to alleviate that discomfort? And after switching to a CBD regimen it’s important to listen to how your body responds, because there are variations in each person’s
endocannibinoid system – a group of cannabis-related chemicals produced throughout the body to help maintain health – and how CBD interacts with this important system to improve wellness.C is to MAKE A COMMITMENT. The effects of CBD can be profound, but they are subtle. If you want to try CBD for any reason you need to commit to using it for at least a month. At the end of that period stop, look, listen, and see how you feel.
D is for DOSAGE. Since everyone’s system is unique, the best advice is to start low and go slow. Begin with a lower dosage and slowly increase the amount of CBD you’re consuming until you achieve the desired effect.
“Women lead busy, active lives, juggling work and home, family and fitness. All that multitasking can lead to pain and stress,” adds Carey. “Whether she needs to calm anxiety, soothe sore muscles after a session of yoga or a day on her feet, ease the symptoms of menstrual cramps or menopause, or drift off to sleep more easily, CBD’s phytocannabinoids can help to reduce inflammation, pain, stress and anxiety.”
Atlantic WeedBoard recommends products from Sagely Naturals a women-owned CBD company founded in 2015. The Sagely Relief and Recovery Cream is packed with CBD, essential oils, and cooling menthol to help revive the body and combat discomfort; Sagely’s Tranquility capsules help promote a balanced mood and manage occasional stress with CBD, ashwagandha, magnolia bark, and lavender; and the Dreamwell Roll-on with CBD, lavender and geranium soothes the temples, and quiets the mind for sleep.“The cannabis products from Sagely Naturals have been shown to alleviate pain and stress in a natural and non-toxic way,” says Carey. “They fit right in with the carefully curated items we sell on Atlantic WeedBoard, focusing on organically grown products where the source and quality are clearly defined.”

Atlantic WeedBoard Presents Everything you Wanted to Know About Cannabis, But Didn’t Know Where to Look
As legalization moves cannabis products into the mainstream and an underground market becomes above ground the consumer demand for hemp-based products, particularly in the area of beauty, health and wellness, is at an all-time high. However, keeping pace with legalization laws, quality of products and discovery of new benefits from the plant becomes challenging, if not overwhelming. The cannabis market is projected to reach $166 billion globally by 2025, and cannabis companies are flooding the market with new products every day. The question is where is it legal for consumers to buy and how do they get their information on how to choose the best products?
Atlantic WeedBoard (www.atlanticWeedBoard.com), is a newly-formed informational center specifically developed for the emerging cannabis industry. The site is presented in artistic graphics with a fun side to it featuring a boardwalk and Ferris wheel as its signature logo. On a more serious note, Atlantic WeedBoard is a type of “Consumer Reports” of cannabis as it presents products for people and their pets, interviews with the top growers, curates independently tested legal products and offers anecdotal beauty, health and wellness advice for its users. The Website harnesses the emerging cannabis marketplace by building a community of consumers interested in organic “farm to body” products that have been personally selected by the Atlantic WeedBoard founders for the benefits that they provide. In other words, Atlantic WeedBoard tells you everything you wanted to know about legally marketed cannabis products but didn’t know who to ask or where to find.
“This is not a site for stoners, instead it’s all about the healing without the high. Our primary strategy is to build a community that is eager for information on how to obtain safe, legal hemp products and a desire to learn and share about the products’ they like, and the benefits derived in humans and pets,” says Jason Goodman, Atlantic WeedBoard co-founder. “We present interviews with the farmers and growers of hemp and share stories of those who use the products to impart as much knowledge about the products and their benefits as possible.”
“Atlantic WeedBoard was developed as a sort of ‘Wikipedia’ of Cannabis, in an effort to help educate consumers and share information as it happens from a trusted, reliable source,” says Richard Carey, co-founder of Atlantic WeedBoard. “Throughout history, the benefits of cannabis have been widely known, as our founding fathers (Washington, Madison and Jefferson) were hemp farmers.”

Israel’s First & Largest Cannabis Company Launches in Nevada
The United States will experience a wellness revolution through a new line of clinically-proven, proprietary cannabis products from Tikun Olam, a premier science based cannabis provider rooted in the world capital of medical cannabis: Israel. Following the success of their pilot program in Delaware, and uniquely positioned to revolutionize health & wellness for the nation, the groundbreaking medical and adult use lifestyle brand, Tikun™, will continue its U.S. expansion with a launch throughout Nevada in April 2017.
Israel has been at the forefront of medical cannabis research since 1964, when Professor Raphael Mechoulam, considered the “Father of Cannabis” headed the team that first isolated THC and later discovered that THC interacts with the largest receptor system in the human body- the endocannabinoid system. These medical advances spurred Tikun Olam to launch as Israel’s first medical cannabis provider in 2007.
Tikun Olam continues to lead the way with groundbreaking research, patient care, strain genetics, agronomy and advanced extraction techniques in the global cannabis field. They established the first professionally staffed clinic dedicated to helping patients medicate properly through precise dosage and specific strains. This resulted in the world’s first and largest database of patient feedback which guided the development of life improving strains for specific symptoms. This patient feedback also led to the development of a high-CBD strain,Avidekel™, acclaimed as “highless marijuana” by Reuters and a revolutionary step in the therapeutic use of cannabis.
“Tikun Olam is the gold standard for pharmaceutical grade medical cannabis production in both Israel and Canada. The US cannabis market is becoming more sophisticated, looking beyond high-THC content to demand medically-proven, quality products for therapeutic cannabis use as part of a healthy lifestyle,” according to Bernard Sucher, CEO of T.O. Global LLC. “We are confident that entering the medical and adult-use U.S. market with a genuine approach to health and wellness, will position Tikun for a successful expansion where regulated markets exist.”
Known as “Tikun™” in the United States, the intellectual property, cultivation methodologies, scientific collaboration, and overall best practices of Tikun Olam, will be utilized in production with their licensed partners CW Nevada LLC. The products will initially be launched at CW Nevada’s dispensaries and then rolled out to other dispensaries throughout the state. Tikun’s products will be available in flower, vape cartridges, topical creams, tinctures and edibles through six unique strains derived from the Israeli catalog of sixteen. According to Tikun Olam’s patient testimonials, their strains have shown a marked improvement in the overall quality of life for 85% of patients treated, as well as alleviating symptoms related to Crohn’s, Colitis, Parkinson’s, PTSD, AIDS and Cancer, just to name a few.
Tikun’s strains range from Alaska™, a high-THC sativa, known for its uplifting and invigorating qualities, to several high-THC indica strains such as Erez™, Or™, and Eran Almog™, known to be exceptional for pain management and the relief of various health conditions. The most revolutionary strains in the Tikun catalogue are Midnight™, created on a balanced 1:1 ratio of THC & CBD, likely to be popular among those looking for a daytime, mild effect; and Avidekel, the first ever high-CBD strain in the world, cultivated by Tikun Olam five years ago and named as more effective than generic CBD in clinical studies throughout Jerusalem.
In the coming years, Tikun plans to continue building upon the patient trusted heritage that has defined their innovative leadership within the burgeoning cannabis industry. The experts of Tikun Olam will continue to break new ground by engineering products that cultivate pathways to new markets, catering to all those who seek an active and healthy lifestyle in every legally regulated market in the United States.

Aroma-Bloc Technology™ Handbags by Annabis
With the passing of Question 2, Nevada’s cannabis culture is about to get even more exciting with innovative products and lifestyle options. Leading the way is AnnaBis – the first high-end cannabis fashion brand – with their new holiday collection of aroma-blocking handbags for fashion-conscious cannabis users.
As Jeanine Moss, founder and CEO of AnnaBis, likes to say – “It’s legalized, now let’s make it civilized.”
AnnaBis, the first luxury fashion brand for sophisticated female cannabis consumers, announced a series of “firsts” today including its first anniversary of creating luxurious bags for women taking the high road.
AnnaBis launched in November 2015 at the MJ Business Conference in Las Vegas with its inaugural line of handbags and accessories crafted in fine leather and encased in aroma-concealing technology to keep the scent of cannabis fashionably and discreetly contained. AnnaBis bags are lined in Aroma-Bloc Technology™ and feature secret Aroma-Bloc™ compartments inside. Aroma-Bloc Technology™ consists of thin layers of resin film, airtight zippers and special production “nips and tucks” that provide confidence and style.
Low waist jeans / Adidas Originals black and white shoes, $74 / Ray-Ban ray ban sunglasses, $150 / Tech accessory, $40 / W3LL People lip gloss / Fresh vetiver perfume / Vetements Lighter Cover, $315Over the past year customers increased their demand for accessories that contain scent, keep them organized and reflect a multitude of fashion styles like Boho, Rocker, Glam and Classic. AnnaBis sold out several styles and went back into production three times before producing the 2016 holiday line, available online in mid-November.
FIRST WITH AROMA-BLOC TECHNOLOGY™ AND HIDDEN AROMA-BLOC™ COMPARTMENTS
AnnaBis’ is the first fashion brand to create accessories encased in Aroma-Bloc Technology™ with extra protection provided by sealed Aroma-Bloc™ compartments hidden inside each bag. Aroma-Bloc Technology™ consist of thin layers of resin film, airtight zippers and special production “nips and tucks” so women can carry their cannabis with confidence and style.
FIRST ANNIVERSARY COLLECTION
Based on 2016’s best-selling Melissa Wristlet and Whoopee Vape cases new holiday styles include slightly bigger sizes and extra cushioning for glass pipes and vapes. In addition, an everyday crossbody and a waistbag for events and music festivals have been added. AnnaBis accessories feature Aroma-Bloc™ technology, ergonomic straps and secret Aroma-Bloc™ compartments hidden under faux linings. The new collection debuts mid-November at the MJ Business Conference and on the company’s website. It is available in snake print leather, black buff python, purple buff python, navy and black quilted leather (perfect for carrying glass), red lizard print, rose gold and pewter foil.
FIRST HIGH-END CANNABIS FASHION BRAND
AnnaBis was created when Founder and CEO Jeanine Moss saw grown women acting like guilty teenagers, sneaking around with baggies and tea tins in their Coach, Kate Spade and Louis Vuitton handbags. And she was one of them! Even when consuming cannabis legally, women felt like criminals. Recognizing that others shared her passion for organization, discretion, beauty and style, and incensed over the stigma associated with the plant, Moss created AnnaBis, the first brand bringing high fashion to female cannabis consumers.
AnnaBis styles are the direct result of personal experience combined with research from hundreds of women across the country. With a background in new product development for America’s top consumer goods companies, Moss believes that customers know best. She interviewed women at WomenGrow events, at dispensaries, parties and in companies to learn about their concerns and needs and actively solicits feedback every day.
FIRST TRAVEL PUBLICATION FOR THE CANNA-CURIOUS
Moss also discovered that AnnaBis women are adventurous, open-minded, culturally curious, and enjoy travel and fitness. That’s why the company created the first travel guides for the cannabis-curious The AnnaBisGreenGuides, for Women Taking the High Road. Women wanted to know the rules in various cities and where to go to eat, sleep and meet other like-minded people. Guides for Denver, Los Angeles and San Francisco are available for free download now by going to www.annabisstyle.com.
