NOTTINGHAM, MD—It’s official.

CBD Supply Maryland held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday.

Community leaders gathered at noon on Saturday for the grand opening.

The event featured giveaways, food, and experts to discuss the benefits of CBD.

CBD Supply Maryland offers natural alternatives that are completely sourced and created in the United States to ensure quality and consistency.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a product that’s derived from cannabis. It’s a type of cannabinoid, which are the chemicals naturally found in marijuana plants. Even though it comes from marijuana plants, CBD doesn’t create a “high” effect or any form of intoxication — that’s caused by another cannabinoid, known as THC.

There’s some controversy around cannabis products like CBD oil because of recreational marijuana use – but there’s growing awareness about the possible health benefits of CBD oil, according to Healthline.com.

One study found that a 600mg dose of CBD helped people with social anxiety give a speech. CBD has been in the news as a possible treatment for epilepsy. Other pre-clinical studies sponsored by the National Institutes of Health are looking at the role of CBD in relieving pain symptoms. The National Cancer Institute (NCI) even says that CBD may even help alleviate cancer symptoms and cancer treatment side effects.

On-hand for Saturday’s ribbon-cutting ceremony at the newest Baltimore CBD store were owners Ryan Nawrocki and Brendon McLean, as well as Delegate Joe Boteler, Delegate Carl Jackson, Delegate Harry Bhandari, and other elected officials.

The new store is located in Belair Beltway Plaza at 7690 Belair Road in Nottingham/Fullerton (21236).
