If I began to try to explain to you the trials, tribulations and blatant discrimination that I’ve endured entering into this industry, you probably wouldn’t believe me. From my merchant accounts being shut down, to the bank freezing my assets, all the way down to our instagram being deactivated; we’ve been drug the wringer. Yet here we are! Still standing, still taking up space, and still going after social justice.
I’ve been very open about the reason why I started this company. My father had glioblastoma which is a rare & malignant brain cancer & the only thing that shrank his tumors were cannabis oils. But what I haven’t been open about was the fact that I have been personally affected by the war on drugs. I haven’t been open about how my family and I suffered immensely due to the corruption of this unjust system.
My father, who was a first time, non-violent offender was sentenced to 30 years in prison for distribution. My mother was sentenced to 10 years due to conspiracy as well. People who get convicted of murder is literally getting less time than that; case in point: Kim Potter. You are looking at the direct descendant of a broken system. And although I don’t look like what I’ve been through, my invisible scars run deep.
This Earth’s Dew journey has never been just about the money. This has been about taking what the system used to harm me and flipping it to make change. This is why at check-out you have the option to donate to children whose parents are incarcerated. I was one of them. I know how it feels to have your parents stolen from you. I know what it feels like to cry every night on my knees begging God to send my parents home.
So while we celebrate Black History Month, and enjoy the free products that we give away on Instagram for our BHM trivia; lest not forget that although we have come so far, we still have such a long way to go. A portion of our sales goes right back into our communities in my attempt to right the wrongs and fight for change. Be on the lookout for future event emails because we are planning some spectacular ones! Happy Black History Month Dew Crew.
Let’s try to support a Black Owned Business by Giving them a shout out on social media, buying a gift card to share with someone, or by shopping Black Owned.
Warmest Regards,

Although still highly regulated, the 2018 Farm Bill legalized the cultivation, processing and distribution of industrial hemp for commercial purposes. Defined as a cannabis sativa plant containing not more than 0.3-percent THC, industrial hemp was removed from the list of Schedule 1 controlled substances and is now categorized as an agricultural commodity.
Hemp-derived cannabinoid or CBD oil is non-psychoactive and does not cause psychotropic or euphoric effects. Proponents claim it can soothe anxiety, build immunity, reduce stress, relieve pain and combat insomnia without getting consumers high.* CBD can be found in everything from moisturizers, to gummies, teas, massage oils and dog treats. CBD is non-psychoactive, non-toxic, and taps into the receptors in the human endocannabinoid system- a vast network of receptors that help maintain the body’s overall wellness and support many physical processes.
How Does CBD Work?
According to Medical News Today,
All cannabinoids produce effects in the body by interacting with cannabinoid receptors, which form part of the endocannabinoid system.
The body produces two receptors:
CB1 receptors are present throughout the body, particularly in the brain. They co-ordinate movement, pain, emotion, mood, thinking, appetite, memories, and other functions.
CB2 receptors are more common in the immune system. They affect inflammation and pain.
THC attaches to CB1 receptors but CBD stimulates the receptors so that the body produces its own cannabinoids, known as endocannabinoids.
Benefits
CBD may benefit a person’s health in various ways.

What is Delta-8-THC and whats the difference between Delta-9-THC?
Delta-9-THC is what gets you "high" when smoking cannabis. Delta-8 is a similar molecule that is found in the industrial hemp plant but the effects are said to be milder, more relaxed, enjoyable, helpful in reducing stress & anxiety reducing and can assist with nausea and appetite issues. It's not nearly as potent as Delta 9 but its effects are indeed similar. Some may say better! Other anecdotal evidence suggests that the effects are felt much more in the body and is more of a relaxing experience than delta 9.
Consumers of Delta 8 THC report feeling relaxed, clear-headed and energized
With lots of research coming out on Delta 8 THC, it's becoming clear that just like CBD, Delta8THC may have many if its own benefits. For example D8 THC is a CB1 Binder and may assist in production of acetylcholine which can help memory, arousal, cognition and neurogenesis. This may indicate Delta-8-THC to have nootropic (brain boosting) effects.
Delta-8-THC also binds to the CB1 receptor that is found in the central nervous system which can possibly help with symptoms of nausea, pain and anxiety.
Is it Legal?
YES! While Delta-8-THC is federally legal, several states have additional restrictions. Scrolls to the bottom to view a list of states and their corresponding laws. These states have restricted sales of Delta 8 THC:
If your state is listed above, we will NOT ship to you.
However if you are over the age of 21 and you don't live in any of the states listed above, you can order your very own Delta 8 Cartridge.
The National Cancer institute says this about Delta-8 THC:
“delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinolAn analogue of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) with antiemetic, anxiolytic, appetite-stimulating, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties. Delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-8-THC) binds to the cannabinoid G-protein coupled receptor CB1, located in the central nervous system; CB1 receptor activation inhibits adenyl cyclase, increases mitogen-activated protein kinase activities, modulates several potassium channel conductances and inhibits N- and P/Q-type Ca2+ channels. This agent exhibits a lower psychotropic potency than delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (delta-9-THC), the primary form of THC found in cannabis.”
