Very soon, we will celebrate this glorious and curious industry we’ve all found ourselves in with the National CBD Day 2022. I’ve included as many details as possible so you can celebrate in style!

When Is National CBD Day 2022?

This celebration of CBD takes place on the 8^th August 2022, which falls on a Sunday.

What Is National CBD Day?

As the name might suggest, this is a huge shout-out to everything around this glorious cannabinoid. Over time, this day will also involve the other cannabinoids and terpenes as one combined day, recognising the amazing results people have seen.

The day has largely been spent in the past with poor health sufferers talking about their life-changing moments involving transitioning from their traditional medication towards CBD oil. The aim is to collectively help encourage and educate others on this amazing plant medicine.

What’s The History Of National CBD Day?

CBD isn’t new. People have been using cannabis for 2,700 years or potentially longer, utilising all the great cannabinoids and terpenes. Cannabis was made illegal in the UK in 1928, while it is currently still recognised as a Class B drug, despite a five-year period where it changed to Class C from 2005-2009.

In the USA, it was a bit more mixed based on what state you were based in, with some starting as early as 1906, many making it illegal in the 1920s and then formally being regulated as a drug in each state from the 1930s.

Having said this, medical cannabis was made acceptable in 2012 in the USA in many states, while this didn’t occur in the UK until 2018. However, despite the laws changing in the UK in 2018, it is still virtually impossible to get any even if you are epileptic, as doctors are either not qualified to prescribe it or don’t feel comfortable doing so.

While marijuana is high in THC, hence its illegal status, most hemp strains were bred to be high in CBD and low in THC, making it ideal to be extracted from. CBD oil is legal in the UK.

In the USA, the big change was the Farm Bill, occurring in 2018, where industrial hemp cultivation was made legal for brands to create CBD oil. It means hemp is no longer listed under the Controlled Substances Act.

But I digress. How did this day start, you ask?

A CBD manufacturer worked to set out the first-ever National CBD Day put in the calendar for the 8^th August, or 8/8 (which many people say looks like the infinity sign if turned sideways). The day was planned out in 2017. However, it didn’t go live until 2018.

How Do I Celebrate The Day?

This is all down to how you’d like to celebrate it. You could introduce a number of friends to CBD, invite them over for a CBD party, have some CBD tea, make a CBD smoothie, try out a range of CBD skin-care products, taste the different flavours of CBD oils, and set out some CBD gummies on a plate. Teach them the steps of sublingual consumption and being patient (so many people swallow within 10 seconds rather than holding out for 1-2 minutes). There is even CBD alcohol to get the night a bit more wild!

Is It National Or International?

Despite being called a ‘National Day’, it is actually celebrated by CBD brands and CBD enthusiasts around the world, so it is more of an international event. It was started in the USA as a national event, but now it is being recognised far and wide.
