The Calm Down Industry
Rahat and Faarea take a look at the CBD market.
On a day to day basis, Rahat and Faarea are equally stressed out. Faarea has noticed that all these products have popped up to counter this phenomenon, forming what she has christened The Calm Down Industry. She gives Rahat the hard sell on two of her favourites, mindfulness and CBD. We’ve all heard of mindfulness, but could there be something more sinister behind its promises? CBD, meanwhile, is an extract from the cannabis plant that’s said to calm you down and reduce pain and anxiety without getting you high. To try and convince Rahat of its benefits, Faarea takes her to The Feel Good Café, which specialises in CBD products, to chat to Idan Naor and Mark Halford and have a CBD- infused turmeric latte or two.
