Delta-8: Surviving the Holidays

DELTA-8: SURVIVING THE HOLIDAYS

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Where family gatherings are full of opinions, debates, and unsolicited advice. No matter your relationship with your family the holidays can be a pretty stressful time. In turn, they can cause flare ups, anxiety, and increased pain. As a Delta-8 user you may be getting a lot of push back on your D8 use from friends & family, or you’re completely hiding your use of it out of fear of what they may say or do. 

Sounds unfair, but what can you do? The best way to combat push back is to communicate. When people feel like they understand they are more open to accept. 

We put together a plan to help you start that conversation and survive the holidays with Delta-8. Delta-8: Surviving the Holidays
