Over the past decade, CBD products have flooded the wellness market, with claims of relief for everything from anxiety and insomnia to chronic pain and inflammation. Cannabidiol (CBD), a naturally occurring compound found in hemp, quickly gained attention for its therapeutic potential without the high associated with THC. But despite early excitement, CBD sales have slowed significantly in recent years. Why?
A major reason is confusion and mistrust. Consumers today are more informed, and more cautious. They’re asking smart questions: Is this product legal? Is it safe? Does it even work? Unfortunately, due to inconsistent regulation and a saturated market full of questionable products, answers are often hard to find.
The Educational Gap
Let’s start with the basics: CBD is not the same as marijuana. While both come from the cannabis plant, CBD is non-psychoactive and legal in the U.S. when derived from hemp with less than 0.3% THC. It interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system, which helps regulate mood, pain, sleep, and more. All mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish have an endocannabinoid system.
However, the lack of FDA oversight has led to major issues. Many products are mislabeled, with studies showing that some contain far less CBD than advertised, even harmful additives like pesticides or residual solvents. Consumers have been burned by false claims, low-quality products, and inconsistent effects, leading to widespread skepticism.
Market Saturation & Misinformation
In the height of the “CBD boom,” companies rushed to cash in, infusing CBD into everything from face creams to cocktails, often without understanding the science or ensuring quality. With so many products on the market, it has become difficult for customers to know who to trust.
That’s where D&D CBD stands apart.
Why D&D CBD Is Different
D&D CBD is a family-owned company born from a personal passion for wellness, transparency, and integrity. We’ve watched the industry evolve, and we knew it could be better. That’s why we’ve built our business on a foundation of education, quality, and trust.
Here’s how we do it differently:
Lab-Tested Transparency: Every product we sell is third-party lab tested, and we make those results available to our customers. You know exactly what’s in each bottle, no surprises.
Full and Broad-Spectrum, USA-Grown Hemp: We use only premium, organically grown hemp from U.S. farms. Our full-spectrum CBD retains all the beneficial cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids working together in what’s known as the “entourage effect.” Our broad-spectrum CBD contains 0% THC, perfect for those who don’t want any trace amounts.
Education First: We don’t just sell products; we empower our customers. Whether you’re new to CBD or a longtime user, we take the time to explain how it works, what to expect, and how to find the right product for your needs. Brandon and Dean, the owners of D&D, aren’t interested in a quick or “easy” sale. Getting to know a person’s story is at the heart of what they do, and they realize that cultivating relationships creates lasting impressions.
Small Business, Big Care: As a family-run company, we treat our customers like part of the family. No gimmicks. No hype. Just high-quality CBD products that we personally believe in and use ourselves.
Looking Forward
The CBD industry is still young and evolving. As the FDA and lawmakers work toward better regulation, consumer demand for honesty and efficacy will continue to shape the market. Companies that cut corners won’t last, but those that prioritize trust and education, like D&D CBD, are here for the long haul.
In a confusing landscape, D&D CBD is a brand you can believe in. Not because we say so, but because we show you, every step of the way.
