CBD is one of the hottest products of the year, with stores opening at an rapid pace all over the country.

BIRMINGHAM, AL — Although not one of the most recognizable "national days," August 8 is officially National CBD Day.

CBD-MD founded National CBD Day to bring awareness to what CBD brings to the health care world annually. Since 2018, the federal government has defined hemp, which has little or no THC in it, as a legal plant that is distinct from marijuana.
