Driving with CBD (safety + THC risk)

- Avoid using products that make you feel drowsy or impaired.
- Be careful with “full spectrum” if you’re sensitive.
- Read: CBD and driving.
CBD in hotels (discretion + storage)
- Store gummies away from heat (windows, heaters).
- Keep tinctures upright to avoid leaks.
- Keep products secured away from children/pets.
