Susan’s Own

I’m going to break the fourth wall here and come right out with it. Susan’s Own might be my favorite CBD brand I’ve ever encountered. I usually take these kinds of products with a grain of salt but these are among the most effective brands I’ve used. I’m a big fan of their CBD drops, and they’ve been helpful with my joint pain and sleep issues. I legitimately use Susan’s Own daily in my personal life and I can’t recommend them enough. Between the drops, gummies, and other products, this stuff works. Susan’s Own’s sister brand, Blazy Susan, has a set of rolling papers, and other, ahem, “elevation” assistance items. which we’ll get into in a future guide.
