Cannabidiol (CBD) is a compound found in the cannabis plant, more specifically, in the cannabis species known as hemp. CBD is a non-psychoactive compound; it doesn't make you feel "high" or stoned, but it has been shown to have tremendous medical benefits. CBD has been used to treat everything from chronic pain to anxiety to arthritis. It has powerful anti-inflammatory and anti-anxiety properties. It is also known to reduce stress while improving sleep and mood.

Friday night, March 3rd, the El Rey Theatre in Albuquerque, NM was abuzz with excitement as cannabis businesses and industry leaders gathered for this year's Essie Awards. Each year, Essie Awards recognize the best in the industry and Minerva Canna led the Edibles categories. We were also honored and thrilled to have one of our budtenders take home the Best Budtender award and to have received the most innovative CBD product award.
