Even as governments relax the lockdown restrictions the world over, the global economy and livelihoods of people have already taken a turn for the worse. No matter whether you’re a top-ranking corporate official or a grassroots-level sales rep, you may find yourself in a Catch-22 situation.

While most companies and government departments are forced to downsize their teams, a large number of job seekers are undergoing hapless times, desperate to find alternative avenues to make ends meet.

The situation may seem hopeless – fast turning to grim – but it’s not all that gloomy everywhere.

In fact, there are still some Good Tidings for a chosen few, i.e. only if you love and understand cannabis the way we do!

Yes, you’ve heard that right!

Some cannabis products that are legal sell pretty well and so do everything relating to them! And that’s why a handful of companies in this industry are still hiring. One of them is the Cannabis Herald.

The Cannabis Herald, which is a well-known name in the cannabis world, is looking for ‘canna-be’s, who not only love and enjoy the benefits of cannabis, but also know quite a bit about it, its many facets, legalities, and brands, and can shed light on them to help others who can benefit from cannabis.

We, at the Cannabis Herald, are looking for those who love to research, confirm and verify facts and data, as well as try out products from different cannabis brands.

You’ll, of course, get paid handsomely for it! Add to that the fact that you don’t even have to step outside your home! You can work remotely – from the comfort of your own home!

It definitely sounds awesome, doesn’t it? Well, don’t get too confident! It’s still hard work…and we don’t just hire everybody who loves to smoke marijuana or vape CBD!

This resource portal is hiring people who can give their critical and unbiased opinion on different brands of products and their aspects through the written words as well as…wait for it…talk about – on video!

Do you think you can do that?

If you think you’re up for it, remember, we not only need you to be able to detect and eliminate the bad sheep from the market, but also openly elaborate on them – through your blogs, vlogs, articles, and product reviews – without any bias!

To better understand the positions that are being offered, read on to see if you qualify for them.

About Cannabis Herald

The Cannabis Herald, a trusted online resource destination for everything relating to the CBD and cannabis industry, provides regular updates on cannabis and CBD products and legalized marijuana. Besides, this news site also offers detailed descriptions of responsible farming and manufacturing practices, canna-investments, and business opportunities in the CBD industry.

Cannabidiol or CBD has achieved a substantial following in the marketplace, with many users touting its efficacy. One alleged benefit of CBD that creates a buzz is improved sleep, which is a strong reason why people want to try it.

The usual forms of CBD that are popular among buyers are CBD-infused gummy bears and CBD oil capsules or tincture. As trends go, manufacturers get creative by making CBD pillows that target individuals suffering from poor or deprived sleep.

Consumer reports

A Consumer Report survey conducted recently revealed that 10% of Americans have used CBD products to improve their sleep. However, many of the respondents are yet to try CBD pillows, which in itself has an interesting concept.

In a study showcased in the journal Medicines, 409 respondents with insomnia initially rated their condition at 6.6 on average, with ten being the most severe. They were then treated with CBD in different combustion methods. The average rating after treatment went down to only 2.2, a significant decrease from the start.

However, there are still many questions regarding CBD for sleep, including the dosage, route, and timing. The effect of CBD in the sleep pattern of an individual also varies on a case-to-case basis.

Recent studies show that cannabis compounds can interact with the endocannabinoid system, or the receptors in the body, which include the brain. It is suggested that CBD affects the sleep and wake cycles due to one of these said receptors.

The CBD Pillow

The CBD pillow, the new addition to a broad range of cannabidiol products, works through micro-encapsulation. It is the process of capturing microscopic CBD particles into capsules that protect the substance from oxidation, evaporation, and contamination. It can only be released via friction, specifically your head on the pillow.

The released CBD is then supposed to be taken up through skin and hair follicle absorption. By theory, more CBD can be released if you are more restless when sleeping.

As of writing, two companies have started marketing the micro-encapsulated CBD pillow, namely Brookstone and CBD Pillow.

How it helps

Cannabidiol is one of the most popular cannabis derivatives, taken from the source plant Cannabis sativa L. that also produces marijuana. It contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the substance that causes psychoactive effects for cannabis users. However, CBD has little to no THC content, which makes it non-intoxicating.

CBD is thought to interact with the endocannabinoid system, which then prompts several physiological reactions, including appetite, pain, and mood.

CBD Pillow VP of Content said the pillow is made to release CBD micro-doses for many days to help the user sustain a healthy nighttime routine. It also aims to introduce CBD and its number of alleged benefits, which includes sleep.

The prominent issue, however, is that most pieces of evidence are anecdotal. There aren’t many studies and research that offer solid proof regarding CBD’s benefits. The FDA is yet to present a framework for the use and sale of CBD, which industry players feel should be hastened so that more people can try cannabidiol for themselves.
