This month I was gifted the CBD Chill Pack from Botanic Lab to review which included 4 cans of their Dutch Courage: Cannabidiol, Sour Cherry & Hibiscus Botanical Tea Drink and a 5% bottle of pure CBD Oil. I am really interested in the development of the CBD oil market and using it as fully natural treatment for anxiety and insomnia alike, so I was happy to take up this opportunity.

You know I always love to celebrate/appreciate when companies think about their packaging and making it as enviromentally friendly as possible, so I was pleased to find that Botanic Lab were such a company :):
And I loved this marketing postcard:
…which is done in such a relevant way to what we are all going through with the current pandemic “Wish you were here but no closer than 2m” and gives you an opportunity to send on to a friend with 25% discount and tell them how good these products are and why. I’m certainly going to be using my two postcards 🙂
Here’s what their own website says about these products:

What are the benefits of taking CBD Oil?
CBD had been used for many thousands of years until it was unfortunately prohibited in the 20th century due to its connection with cannabis. CBD and hemp are now fully legal in the UK and the EU but sellers of CBD oil cannot make medical claims regarding its benefits.
When hemp and CBD were legalised a few years ago, many people began to take CBD and other cannabinoids extracted from hemp plants to top up their cannabinoid levels and bring more balance to their endocannabinoid systems.
Taking CBD oil helps your body to create more of the cannabinoids that your endocannabinoid system needs to help maintain balance and wellbeing in the body. It is vital to keep this system working well as it helps our immune systems, protects our brains, helps us manage stress and generally keeps our bodies in balance.
My Review:
These products have really been well thought out, the marketing is beautiful and clever and the packaging is eco. To me it is a very positive message to say that everyone needs to take time for themselves to relax and unwind in a natural and non harmful way. The flavour of the drink has definitely grown on me, it is very comparable to a cosmopolitan, it is like a grown up soft drink but with something a bit extra, and it doesn’t have any sort of nasty aftertaste. I really hope that these drinks do take off as an alcohol alternative because honestly the alcohol culture, in the main, is not a good or healthy choice for anyone and often ends in unwanted consequences. So I would recommend these products to try, because goodness knows we do all need to take 5 right about now!
