For well over a decade, I have been putting hemp seeds in our Be Free Bakers' brownies, on my salads, in smoothies and more. The goal was to add extra protein, extra vitamins and minerals to our healthy food  and to our Be Free Brownies. My interest in CBD began slightly later, but prior to 2018 when the Farm Bill was passed. I wanted to know if it could help me. I had heard good things about it and was hoping it would help my lingering post partum depression, coupled with anxiety and stress from a prior brain injury. What could CBD do for me? Could it be helpful to my family? How? I tried dozens of brands over several years, and was largely disappointed with all of them and the money I spent. After nearly a year of hearing about Green Compass, I finally bought one bottle of the Green Compass 750mg mint tincture, full spectrum. It was a profound transformation! I was shocked. None of the other brands did anything like this for my body. Within 30 days of buying that first bottle, I joined Green Compass with an energy I hadn't felt in years. As an empath, energy healer and reiki master, I wanted others to benefit in the profound way I had with this outstanding CBD tincture. Once I tried all the other GC products, too, it was a no-brainer: I began in earnest to spread the love and healing. I hope my happiness is contagious and you, too, feel as good as I do taking our quality products!
