How hemp products make a difference in one woman’s life – Charleston City Paper

The choice between taking 11 pills daily or a few drops of a hemp oil tincture and a CBD gummy was a no-brainer for Lowcountry resident Libiss Skinner.

Nobody wants to talk about their digestive issues, but after a doctor put me on all kinds of medications to control unbearable pain, I had to find out if an alternative existed and I found it in tinctures and gummies containing cannabinoids, she said.

These natural products have changed my life. In the past year, I had one flare-up and it was controlled by my CBD tincture and my Delta-8 gummy. I havent needed any medications or steroids since starting this CBD regimen.

Skinner and her husband Matt admit that everyones body is different, but they became such big fans of legal products made from Carolina-grown hemp that they opened Charleston Hemp Collective in Charleston in 2019. The company now also has locations in Columbia, Savannah and Boone, N.C. Its recently also added some mobile stores to be able to attend events throughout the Carolinas to spread the word about healthful outcomes from CBD products.

There are so many medicinal benefits to hemp, Matt Skinner said. The plant may look like marijuana to some people, but its not. Theyre related. Marijuana has high levels of THC, but hemp-based products have only trace amounts or the THC can be removed in the refining process. Regardless, the CBD byproducts that are left over are the kinds of things that have allowed Libiss to lead more of a normal life. And for that, we are grateful.

Not only can the tinctures, gummies, salves and other high-quality CBD products at the Collective provide people with pain relief, but they can also promote better sleep, combat infection, curb anxiety, reduce inflammation and counteract nausea.

Charleston Hemp Collective works with Carolina farms and their manufacturers at every step in the growing and manufacturing process to ensure it stocks products of the highest quality and purity. None of its products include artificial flavors or fillers. All are third-party tested for quality assurance and to meet all government guidelines.

We take enormous pride in working with local farms and business owners to create products that offer a one-of-a-kind experience, Matt Skinner said. They, like us, have a goal of growing, producing and supporting local economies while helping people manage their aches and pains responsibly using CBD.

Among the products offered by Charleston Hemp Collective:

The Skinners encourage Lowcountry residents to use their store as an educational resource center to learn more about the healthful benefits offered by legal hemp-based products.

Our staff has extensive training about the benefits and options available with our CBD products, Libiss Skinner said. Were available for anyone who wants to learn more. Its important to us to share what weve learned in a transparent, open process so that others can see why were so passionate about what we do.
