New CBD-Infused Vegan Brownies May Help With Anxiety, Chronic Pain

There’s been a lot of talk about cannabidiol lately — aka CBD. A compound found in hemp, it’s now being used for a whole host of medical and health/wellness uses.

While CBD is an ingredient in marijuana, it doesn’t have the psychoactive component (in other words, it can’t get you high). It can, however, provide other positive benefits, including anxiety and pain relief in smaller doses, and treatment for conditions like cancer and epilepsy in higher concentrations.

There is a wide variety of products infused with CBD. For example, gummies, tinctures, or even chocolates. You can click here to get an idea of the varieties of edible CBD products. A lot of people are not aware that CBD can be taken orally, like candy or brownies. Some users always prefer to smoke up instead of taking the edibles. While choosing between CBD products, you may also consider usda certified organic cbd oil to help you with your anxiety issues.

Moreover, with respect to oral consumption of CBD, as you already know, there are many types of snacks that you can infuse with cannabis. And you can do it in your kitchen by yourself. All you have to do is prepare the CBD butter (you can watch a video online to learn how) and add it to whatever delicious snacks you’re preparing. If this sounds complicated to you, a quick internet search for an easy pot brownie recipe could do the trick.

Nevertheless, that entire process can seem like quite a hassle, in which case, you can search for CBD-infused edibles in dispensaries or online. For example, there’s a new vegan brownie treat designed to impart the benefits of CBD to its eaters: Auntie Dolores‘ gourmet Chocolate Brownie Bites. The little snacks are vegan, low-glycemic, low caloric, and infused with 50 mg of cannabidiol. And yes, they’re 100% legal everywhere in the U.S.

Auntie Dolores’ founder Julianna Carella explains how CBD works:

“All animals (except insects) have an endocannabinoid system, which is spread out throughout the body from head to toe. Our bodies and animals’ bodies produce endocannabinoids very much like the cannabinoids found in hemp and cannabis plants. Therefore, the receptors found throughout the body all respond to these plant phytocannabinoids when they enter the body just as they do with our bodies’ natural cannabinoids. The photocannabinoids bind to the receptors that need them most and thus cause the beneficial results experienced. This system also helps to regulate all homeostatic functions. Without homeostasis, our feedback mechanisms stop working which results in disease, inflammation, and imbalance.”

CBD can help regulate this imbalance.

“Often in dis-ease states our bodies need assistance with this regulation and need help outside of the body. Plant phytocannabinoids like CBD can be a healthy, nontoxic way to assist this process. Our CBD is derived from hemp and CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid so people can experience all the benefits without the high,” she says of the brownie bites.

Since they’re vegan, all eaters can enjoy the effects; the California-based company wanted to make sure everyone could reap the benefits.

“Part of our company mission is to provide nutritional healthy delicious food products,” explains Carella. “We believe food is medicine and all ingredients and recipes reflect our commitment to providing healthy products without sacrificing taste. We craft vegan brownies because we want a wide variety of consumers practicing all forms of dietary choices to be able to enjoy these products.”

Note: many of the company’s other products do include THC, but the vegan brownie bites do not, and they’re available for purchase legally anywhere in the U.S.
