<\/p>\n

Just a few years ago, farmers in the United States were\u00a0only growing a little more than 9,000 acres of hemp<\/a>\u00a0a year. But by 2019, that number had\u00a0skyrocketed to over 500,000 acres<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 and much of that growth has been powered by demand for one cannabinoid: cannabidiol (CBD).<\/p>\n

More and more people are turning down the outdated concept that cannabis is evil and are beginning to see just how much the plant can help. And given that hemp is legal nationwide and defined as the\u00a0cannabis sativa plant<\/em>\u00a0with less than 0.3% THC, people are often able to access cannabis medicine most readily through CBD products derived from hemp.<\/p>\n

While the CBD market is currently\u00a0dominated by tinctures and gummies<\/a>, some companies are trying to expand the types of ways people can use CBD. And some of these ideas are quite unique (think the CBD hamburger from Carl\u2019s Jr.<\/a>). If their purpose is to stand out and start a conversation, it\u2019s working.<\/p>\n

But First, A Disclaimer<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The trend of unique CBD products didn\u2019t come out of blue. It was a direct response to the ever-growing demand for variety in CBD consumption. As more people begin to take CBD for its therapeutic abilities, even more people are going to want to try CBD products and want to use it in new ways.<\/p>\n

And for that reason, we advocate both businesses and consumers consider the best, safest methods to consume CBD before marketing or purchasing a product, respectively. There are a seemingly infinite number of ways that pure CBD isolate \u2014 CBD in its raw, molecular form \u2014 can be purchased and added to different consumption methods. However, just because CBD\u00a0can<\/em>\u00a0be added to something, doesn\u2019t mean it always should. Though the stigma around the cannabis plant is eroding, it still lingers on and prevents CBD from reaching its full potential. Improperly labeled or misleading CBD products that leave consumers feeling discouraged only hurt the industry at large.<\/p>\n

While many of the products on this list may be CBD-infused and lab-tested, we can\u2019t confirm that they all are. CBD products\u00a0remain unregulated by the FDA, and often it\u2019s these particularly unusual CBD products that run the most risk of being ineffective. For example,\u00a0a recent study from Leafly<\/a>\u00a0found three out of four CBD water products contained absolutely zero CBD.<\/p>\n

As always, we recommend using your best judgment when buying CBD: look for CBD products through licensed vendors, look for third-party lab testing results, and look for products from experienced companies.<\/p>\n

Creativity and innovation are what drives any market. Since CBD is still in its early stages, we can only assume more unique products will hit the store shelves as time carries on.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of the 7 most unusual new ways CBD has been incorporated into products floating around the market.<\/p>\n

\n
\"CBD<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

1) CBD Inhalers<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When it comes to developing unique CBD products, it\u2019s vital for a business to understand the importance of relatability. Think of CBD gummies, which have grown so popular primarily due to the fact that consumers are used to seeing and eating vitamin gummies.<\/p>\n

One company,\u00a0CBD Luxe<\/a>, takes the idea of creating a relatable product in a different direction with its CBD Oil Inhaler. Inhaling CBD is fast and efficacious, but vaping isn\u2019t for everyone \u2014 and particularly in the middle of a vaping health scare,\u00a0consumers are wary<\/a>\u00a0of vaporizers.<\/p>\n

So, they\u2019ve developed an inhaler that mimics those used by people who struggle with asthma. The goal is to develop something relatable that still provides inhalation\u2019s fast-acting relief.<\/p>\n

\"CBD<\/figure>\n

2) CBD Clothing<\/strong><\/h4>\n

One company named\u00a0Acabada ProActiveWear<\/a>\u00a0took everything one step further when it designed activewear that claims to release CBD as you wear it. Though it\u2019s a very interesting concept, we\u2019re not entirely sure this would work out as well as your standard CBD topical \u2014 especially, considering these pieces of clothing contain only 25mg of CBD while most topicals<\/a> will have well past 100mg.<\/p>\n

This wouldn\u2019t be such a big issue if it weren\u2019t for the price. A pair of leggings on Acabada\u2019s website can run you $180 and a jumpsuit a cool $275. Considering the CBD only lasts about 40 washes (according to the website), that\u2019s a hefty price to pay for some pain relief.<\/p>\n

Still, criticism aside, we\u2019ve gotta give it to Acabada for designing one of the most eye-catching CBD products we\u2019ve come across. It certainly got the company press attention, from the likes of\u00a0Allure<\/a>,\u00a0Slate<\/a>, and New York Magazine\u2019s style section,\u00a0The Cut<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n
\"CBD<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

3) CBD Suppositories<\/strong><\/h4>\n

CBD appears to be an anti-inflammatory that can also naturally relax muscles. For this reason, a number of products have surfaced that explicitly advertise these properties. Foria Wellness\u2019s Basic Menstrual Suppository is one of them, and may just be the best known CBD product out there of its kind, as it\u2019s\u00a0gained press coverage in the Guardian<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 though the publication referred to them as \u201cweed tampons.\u201d<\/p>\n

With 100mg of broad-spectrum CBD that can be used vaginally or rectally, Foria Wellness <\/a>hopes to sooth and melt the tension women experience during their menstrual cycle.<\/p>\n

\"CBD<\/figure>\n

4) CBD Shampoo & Conditioner<\/strong><\/h4>\n

For years, companies have added\u00a0hempseed oil<\/a>\u00a0(a food product which does not contain cannabinoids) to beauty products, both for its nourishing qualities and for the novelty of being able to sell products with hemp in it.<\/p>\n

But in a new development, some companies have started adding CBD to beauty products like shampoo and conditioner. For example,\u00a0EMERA<\/a>\u00a0has developed a hair shampoo and conditioner that hopes to use the properties of CBD to alleviate dry hair. To take things further, the company also believes the natural properties of the hemp plant can provide you with healthier and smoother hair.<\/p>\n

\"CBD<\/figure>\n

5) CBD Relief Patches<\/strong><\/h4>\n

One of the big advertising points for CBD topicals is their ability to target specific pain relief, particularly muscle and joint pains. Most CBD companies don\u2019t stray away from the standard salves and lotions, but a handful have followed along the model of standard pain relief products and released transdermal patches.<\/p>\n

To name a few,\u00a0Go Green Hemp<\/a>\u2019s broad spectrum patches,\u00a0Pure Ratio<\/a>\u2019s 96-hour pain patch, and\u00a0Palmetto Harmony<\/a>\u2019s organic transdermal patch all claim to help withstand inflammation and fight against aches and strains. All you have to do is slap the patch on like a sticker and continue on with your day.<\/p>\n

\n
\"CBD<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

6) CBD Toothpaste<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It\u2019s a smart idea to add CBD to a product every person (at least every hygienic person) uses multiple times a day. One such idea: CBD toothpaste.<\/p>\n

CBD Technology Center<\/a>\u00a0has a CBD Toothpaste. So does\u00a0ORL Labs<\/a>. And so does\u00a0the New York Hemp Company<\/a>. It might seem crazy, but\u00a0preliminary research in rats<\/a>\u00a0does show that CBD can actually help fight against gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath, so this idea might have staying power.<\/p>\n

\"CBD<\/figure>\n

7) CBD Toothpicks<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When we first saw CBD-infused toothpick packs, from companies like\u00a0Ignite<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0PureKana<\/a>, we couldn\u2019t help but ask why?<\/p>\n

Admittedly, it seems a bit unnecessary, though it does seem inspired by products like tea tree oil-infused toothpicks, which claim to have antiseptic benefits. If you want to use CBD discreetly, toothpicks may be an ideal option \u2014 especially, if your friends and family are used to seeing you with a toothpick hanging out of your mouth. We just never thought we\u2019d be chewing on a stick to get our dose of cannabidiol.<\/p>\n

TELL US<\/strong>, what\u2019s the weirdest way you\u2019ve seen CBD added to a product?<\/p>\n
