The door swung open at The CBD Store of RI and a middle-aged woman stepped into this sunlit, contemporary store on Post Road. Her confident stride belied how she really felt, and what had brought her to this new store in Warwick. Sarah Abbott was in pain ~ and looking for relief.

Sarah is an avid gardener who volunteers at a local community garden in her free time. Gardening is a passion of hers that has been severely curtailed by a problem with back pain. She came to The CBD Store to explore options that would help her manage the pain in a natural and non-medication way. She had questions. Owner Michael Lanoue had some answers.

Lanoue opened The CBD Store of RI in April of this year. Michael has had first-hand experiences with the restorative and healing benefits of cannibidoil, otherwise known as CBD. When Michael’s wife suffered a serious injury in an accident, her sciatica and nerve pain became unbearable ~ until she sought relief from products infused with CBD.

When Sarah entered The CBD Store, Michael dropped what he was doing and hastily made his way to greet her. After asking some exploratory questions, he led her right to several CBD products that could help her. His store carries only pharmaceutical-grade CBD products. They come in the form of oils, salves, water solubles, capsules, face serums, creams and even pet treats. Michael Lanoue is a trusted source of CBD products who sells only the highest quality brands and who encourages his customers to be informed and educated.

Some may ask, what is CBD? Michael, who is well-researched, knowledgeable and trained in the properties and uses of CBD, explains that it is a naturally-occurring compound found in the flower of cannabis that helps restore the body to its natural state of homeostasis or equilibrium.

Today, the therapeutic properties of CBD are being tested and validated by scientists and doctors around the world. For those who are unfamiliar with CBD and who have now seen it sold everywhere from roadside convenience stores to department stores, it is important to note the CBD is a safe, non-addictive and completely legal substance. It is what endows the cannabis plant with its robust therapeutic properties. CBD is NOT psychoactive. Michael warns all consumers to purchase their CBD products from reliable sources.

CBD has been used to address the symptoms of an endless list of ailments. Some of these include chronic pain, anxiety, stress, depression, arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines, PTSD, attention deficits and so much more. The use of CBD has found success with addressing the dangerous effects of inflammation.

If you need help coping with any of these ailments, visit Mike at The CBD Store of RI on 1845 Post Road or call 401-360-7093 with any questions.
