Some restaurants celebrate the 4/20 tribute to marijuana culture every day. That’s thanks to cannabidiol (CBD)-infused alcohol! Restaurants and breweries all over the country are embracing CBD. Even Carl’s Jr. is debuting a CBD burger on Saturday April 20—priced at $4.20. Promotions cite the plant derivative’s advantages, such as swelling reduction, pain relief and calming epilepsy, just to name a few. It is important to note that this chemical does not contain the psychoactive components found in tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).
Other CBD-based products, such as lotions, shampoos, lip balm and CBD-enhanced massages are showing up in public spaces, including hotel spas. You may come across them if you’re in one of the 33 states where CBD is legal for medicinal and/or recreational use. Here you’ll find 6 spots to indulge in CBD-infused libations.
