3 Answers to Common Questions

Because our shop is unique, we expect questions! We like curious customers who ask questions about the menu and about the products available at our shop. We have put together 3 common questions to which we can divulge the answer and hope that you will ask more!

Question #1
What is CBD?

In 2018, the U.S. Congress passed and signed into law the Agriculture Improvement Act. This law removed hemp from the federal Controlled Substances Act, effectively legalizing CBD if it comes from hemp. However, a few states have not removed hemp from their state’s controlled substance acts, so the legality of CBD products differs across states. CBD is marketed in many consumer products including food, oils, lotions, capsules, and cosmetics. In Tennessee the sale of hemp-derived, CBD is legal. We promote the health benefits of CBD.

We offer CBD products in the shop, including lotions and oils, and more.

Question #2
What is Kratom?

Kratom is an herbal extract that comes from the leaves of an evergreen tree (Mitragyna speciosa) grown in Southeast Asia. Kratom leaves can be chewed, and dry kratom can be swallowed or brewed. Kratom extract can be used to make a liquid product. The liquid form is often marketed as a treatment for muscle pain, or to suppress appetite and stop cramps and diarrhea. Kratom is also sold as a treatment for panic attacks. Kratom is also sold as a treatment for panic attacks. Kratom is believed to act on opioid receptors. At low doses, kratom acts as a stimulant, making users feel more energetic. At higher doses, it reduces pain and may bring on euphoria. We carry 5 strains of Kratom in powder or capsule and we have kratom tea in bags or by the drink!
