Heady Vermont had their second annual cannabis awards show this January, and this year they added a CBD topicals category. On a whim, I decided to enter. I thought it would be a good opportunity to meet and mingle with others in the cannabis and CBD industry, see what other folks were doing, check out some cool products from exhibitors and sponsors, and do a bit of networking. Plus, it looked like an awesome party with live music at a great venue (the Lang Farm). For our entry, I decided on our Joint Relief CBD rub, our most popular product and for which I have gotten many rare reviews.

I did not expect to win! Our Joint Relief CBD rub won second place in the CBD topicals category!

What a thrill and an honor! Here’s what some of the judges had to say about out Joint Relief CBD rub:

The smell is light, pleasant, and lingering. The essential oil combination is also very nice with the coconut oil in terms of the pleasant scent of the salve – I like that I can smell the coconut oil in addition to the eo’s, which also tells me it is quality coconut oil.

The specific choice of essential oils in this blend suggest an understanding of the contribution of each oil in service to the desired effects of the product. It’s solid and I believe contributes to the relieving effects when combined with the CBD in this salve.

Great smell! Characteristic of a hemp salve with a nice blend of essential oils

I love the aroma! I smell the orange, but also the pepper and what reminds me of chocolate. It is very welcoming and soothing to the sense of smell.

Effective, works quickly

This topical was really effective with pain relief. Quick onset and nice long duration fo relief.

Loved the smell and characteristic color!

It works!
