National CBD Day – August 8th
Wisconsin’s Wellness Conversation Continues
August 8th marks National CBD Day, a celebration and awareness push for cannabidiol—better known as CBD—the non-psychoactive compound found in hemp that’s quietly changing lives here in Wisconsin. From helping farmers diversify crops to giving everyday folks a natural option for relief, CBD has moved from fringe curiosity to mainstream wellness staple.
From Prohibition to Possibility
We’ve come a long way since the days when hemp was lumped in with marijuana under prohibition. The 2018 Farm Bill opened the door for legal hemp production, and with it came CBD products you can now find in places as varied as your local food co-op, farm market, or the corner gas station. Some shops in Wisconsin go further—offering lab-tested tinctures, gummies, creams, and even treats for pets who need a little help with anxiety or joint pain.
Why National CBD Day Exists
National CBD Day started in 2018, spearheaded by cbdMD and officially recognized by National Day Calendar, as a way to educate consumers about what CBD is—and what it isn’t. It’s not about getting high. It’s about using a plant-derived compound for wellness, recovery, and quality of life. With so much misinformation still out there, this day gives advocates, businesses, and everyday users a chance to set the record straight.
CBD in Wisconsin – The Local Picture
CBD is legal here, but that doesn’t mean the fight for good policy is over. We still need clear regulations, better product testing standards, and more public education. On the flip side, we’ve got farmers producing some of the best hemp in the Midwest, retailers who care about product integrity, and customers who are more curious than ever about natural health alternatives. National CBD Day is a perfect excuse to bridge that gap between producer, seller, and consumer.
How to Celebrate National CBD Day – Wisconsin Style
Visit a Local Hemp Shop – Ask about where their hemp is grown and how products are tested.
Support Wisconsin Farmers – Look for products made from hemp grown right here in our state.
Share Your Story – If CBD has helped you, post about it using #NationalCBDDay and let people know.
Learn the Law – Understanding hemp and CBD policy makes you a better advocate when talking to friends, family, or legislators.
Bottom line: CBD is here, it’s legal, and it’s worth knowing about—whether you use it yourself or not. National CBD Day is more than a hashtag; it’s a chance to celebrate a plant that’s helping Wisconsinites live better, push for smart hemp policy, and keep the conversation going about cannabis in all its forms.
