THE 411 ON

ou would be hard-pressed to walk down a bustling, business-lined street these days and not see at least one storefront with the letters CBD in their window. So, what exactly is this ubiquitous industry, and did it seemingly grow overnight?

WHAT IS CBD? In 1950, architect Frank Redford designed this attraction as one of just seven motel courts with this unique design. These accommodations are styled after the teepees used by Indigenous peoples of the Great Plains. Despite the inspiration, Redford preferred the ring of “Wigwam Village” (another type of dwelling) to “Teepee Village,” and chose the former as the name of his creation. Today, guests can book a stay in one of 15 large “wigwam” lodgings featuring the modern conveniences of a full bathroom, cable TV, heat, and air conditioning.

CBD is short for cannabidiol, which is a chemical compound from the plant Cannabis sativa. The cannabis plant is also known as marijuana or hemp, which is made up of CBD and THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol) – the former a non-psychoactive natural substance and the latter being the ingredient that makes pot so darn popular.

Although the federal and state governments have been wrangling for years over the legality of marijuana, the Hemp Farming Act of 2018 officially legalized hemp-derived products. There is no THC in the over-the-counter CBD products, but it has shown other benefits which is why CBD merchandise is so widely available now.

WHAT CBD DOES The elements of CBD have been shown to provide a natural calming effect often associated with cannabis. The FDA has approved a CBD-based medication called Epidiolex for certain types of epilepsy, however other health benefits are primarily anecdotal at this point.

Talk to any CBD advocate and they’ll tell you the benefits are plentiful. The oil is known to mellow the nervous system which can aid in both anxiety and pain management. The availability and addition of CBD to a vast array of products from edibles and vape products to tinctures and bath bombs has made it both appealing and accessible to the curious masses.

BEFORE YOU BUY & TRY Healthcare professionals remind consumers that the oil is still being researched in numerous markets and shouldn’t be considered a wonder drug. They suggest a few common sense guidelines when you want to know what the buzz is all about: • Buy IRL. Your brick and mortar stores like Whole Foods usually offer more product vetting.

• Check the label for lot or batch numbers and third-party testing results.

Dietary supplements should include FDA disclaimers.

an’t get enough TV? If so, you’re probably not surprised to learn that we are living during a golden era of television programming. (Can you even imagine quarantining without Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+?) Thanks to advances in TV technology, better writing, bigger budgets, and new streaming platforms, we are living amidst a television explosion. At least that’s one good thing we’re living through, right?

Of course, television has its own history of ups and downs. The first golden era of TV took place from the late 1940s through the late 1950s. TV was relatively new and there wasn’t yet a television set in every home. Shows were comparatively few and far between and they were quite highbrow—think Shakespearean plays, opera, ballet, and the first Walt Disney programs. Musicals such as Peter Pan and The Wizard of Oz debuted. It was the kind of programming you gathered the whole family together to tune in to a special show.

FLAVORFUL

LOCAL VENUE

Eventually, television evolved and grew from a few channels to so many in number that “channel surfing” became a catchphrase.

Remember Bruce Springsteen’s 1992 “57 Channels (And Nothin’ On)” song? Then came the unscripted reality TV era, which peaked in the early 1990s and again in the early 2000s (think “Real World,” “Survivor,” and “Big Brother.”) A bit of a cultural wasteland, really. Of course, the Bachelor is still with us.

In the last several years, with the dawn of streaming services such as Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, and more fringe channels all vying for our eyeballs, the viewing options are vast and varied.

In fact, between 2011 and 2016 scripted TV shows increased by 71 percent. In 2018, there were 495 original scripted TV shows, compared to only 182 in 2002. It now feels like there’s almost too much content to keep up with (and, of course, not all of it is good). Still, having more choices as we remain increasingly at home is good news we can all use. Happy viewing!

• If a brand makes promises to cure a disease, just say no.

The natural products market has been growing for decades and as the legal status of cannabis has continued to evolve, there will probably be even more homeopathic avenues to explore with CBD. If you’re curious about the benefits for you – or even your pet – then by all means, do your homework and ask around. You’re sure to get all the 411 on CBD.

LIFEWISE

Our new golden age of television began around the 1990s, some say with the creation of shows such as “The Sopranos.” Must-See TV became the trend that has in many ways stayed with us. Add in HDTV digital TV technology, more online platforms and subscription services, and suddenly there were more high-quality television shows (who didn’t find themselves talking about “Breaking Bad,” “Downton Abbey,” “Game of Thrones,” or “Mad Men” with friends and coworkers).
