Ever since the legalisation of cannabis for medical use, there has been an explosion in the number of products made with CBD in the UK. With some strains of the cannabis plant even being high in THC levels, this new-found access to more strains means that everyone has a chance to try them. The range of products available has also increased, so it’s hard to know exactly what to try.
The Cannabis industry is thoroughly revolutionizing, and the market is growing at an exponential rate. Sonder. Mello. Tonic. These may be new names to you, but they’re huge in the Cannabis industry. Sonder is a company that produces high-end CBD products, including Tinctures and CBD Rolling Papers. Tonic CBD is a company that produces CBD Edibles. Mello is a company that produces CBD Oil. Tonic CBD is a company that produces CBD Edibles. Sonder and Tonic CBD are also recommended on the Sonder website.
