Meet The Hemp Guru
Hemp Guru is a proud Canadian e-commerce business manufacturing CBD oils and creams from Hemp isolate. Our products are THC free and available at a far more affordable price.
I have been an investor and user of CBD products for over four years. A large component of both investing in and consuming CBD products, has been an extensive self-education throughout this journey.
Why CBD?
First and foremost, it is an exciting and rapidly expanding market with an ever-increasing list of benefits. Secondly, having had a couple of injuries to which CBD helped me heal, I can testify to the power of it. CBD really has helped me to live a more enjoyable, pain-free life.
Really? Absolutely. I had frozen shoulder that limited mobility and caused significant pain – to the point I was about to have surgery. Reaching things above my head and even lifting a fork to my mouth proved difficult. I simply could not lift my shoulder!
Approximately a month before going under the knife, I started to apply a CBD cream with a potency of 200 mg per 100 mL jar. That very night, I had the best sleep I’d had in months. In fact, within a few mornings, I reached for a coffee cup from the upper cupboard without realizing I’d accomplished that until my wife pointed it out. I couldn’t believe I was able to lift my arm again.
Within six months, I started to apply the cream only if I felt the slightest inflammation. By then, I was taking a daily dose of CBD oil for balance with a potency of 1500 mg.
Experiencing the power of CBD first-hand…
In July 2019, I broke my ankle in 2 places and my fibula just below the knee. For the first four-to-five days I was on heavy medication, but following that I was left with Advil. I applied the CBD cream three times a day (or whenever I felt I needed it) and maintained my daily oil regimen.
Over the next 10 weeks, I took nothing else while the tendons healed and nerves regenerated. Long before this incident I was already convinced that CBD is an amazing molecule and this just underscored that the body actually needs it. You can read more about Why CBD right here on Hemp Guru.
Shortly after my leg had fully healed, I started telling friends and family about how miraculous CBD was. I also found most to be somewhat skeptical and didn’t like at all that it was derived from Cannabis.
At the start of my journey four years ago, I wasn’t sure what the difference was between CBD derived from hemp and THC from enhanced strains of marijuana. Now, it’s very easy to explain that CBD products from Hemp have very little or even no Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). It is THC that cause the ‘high’ as a mind-altering lipophilic molecule.
Once my friends and family understood there is no intoxication and no THC, the conversation was down to, “just try it for yourself”. Many of those same people have done just that and have all reported beneficial effects from this amazing compound of industrial hemp, a phenotype of Cannabis sativa.
Becoming the Hemp Guru…
The only downside was the cost of CBD products. It was then that I decided to learn in-depth about the two products that had helped alleviate my own pain and mobility issues. Over the following months I sourced the purest CBD isolate (99%+) and began small-scale manufacturing of CBD oils and creams so that I could bring the cost of these promising products down where they were affordable for more people.
That’s my story and how I became the Hemp Guru.
