We all love to embrace downtime with a beer in hand, but after one too many, the ensuing next-morning headache or worse, full-blown hangover is not so ideal. To counteract the negative effects of alcohol, enter CBD-infused craft beer. Fittingly, Young Master Brewery has named their line of CBD beers after the Cantonese slang word ‘Hea’, which refers to a blissful state of idleness. Sample the first launch in the series, which is an elegant and balanced pale ale, with a dosage of 60mg/L. ‘HEA’ combines the health benefits of CBD with a delicious, rounded pale ale — we challenge you to name a better collaboration.

Believe it or not, our furry friends may also reap the wellness benefits of CBD. Pure, THC-free CBD is pet-friendly, since all animals have an endocannabinoid system — meaning that pets also have the mechanisms to process and enjoy the benefits of CBD. There are products specifically dosed for pets (and you can switch up the amount depending on your pet’s size), but any solid CBD powder or fluid can be incorporated into your pet’s food and drink. It’s best to consult with the vet to find the appropriate dosage.
