Farms already exploring legal cannabidiol products

While not an herbal medicine cure-all, cannabidiol (CBD)-infused hemp honey is said to have the same healing ingredients found in marijuana, though without the mind-altering, munchy-craving effects. Many people nowadays use CBD-infused hemp honey to treat anxiety, nausea, arthritis and a variety of other chronic ailments, claiming amazing results and health benefits. “I firmly believe in plant medicine,” said Joe Pimentel, co-owner of Luce Farm in Stockbridge, who said he takes hemp honey for occasional pain relief and “can feel the effects within minutes.”
“I don’t use it daily. I use it if I’m sore,” he said. About two years ago, Pimentel and his wife, Rebecca, started growing hemp for extracting CBD oil on their 206-acre farm as a sustainable farming model.
