If you were a customer of the Your CBD Store on S.R. 54 in Wesley Chapel who was saddened by that storeโs closing last year, the same outstanding SunMed products are available at Your CBD Store of New Tampa, located less than a mile south of the Pasco County line in the Pebble Creek Collection on Bruce B. Downs (BBD) Blvd.
The husband-and-wife team of David Calcador and Debra Curler make you feel immediately at home in their store, which has calming blue-grey walls, greenery throughout, comfortable seating and an expansive, open layout. With informational displays and posters and Debra and Davidโs exceptional customer support and product knowledge, Your CBD Store of New Tampaโs franchise location opened in November 2019 and has thrived through the pandemic, thanks to the dedication of these two local residents.
โWhen customers come in, we ask them what they know about CBD,โ Debra says. โSome are well-educated and we walk the others through the store and introduce and educate them about our product line. We find out what their problems are health-wise. Are they in pain? Are they having problems sleeping? Do they need more energy? We need to know what is happening in their bodies to help direct them to the proper products.โ
Neither a vape nor a head shop, Your CBD Store New Tampa is a holistic boutique providing USDA organic and carcinogen-free award-winning oral and topical SunMed CBD products for customers and their pets.ย
At Debra and Davidโs store, CBD comes in both flavored and flavorless tinctures, oils, pills, gummies, weight-loss products, as well as a skincare line, bath bombs, lotions, massage oils, pain creams and products for dogs and cats.
Unlike marijuana, Your CBD Store offers broad-spectrum CBD products that have zero THC, as well as full-spectrum products with the 0.3 legal limit of THC that contain all cannabinoids (CBD and THC), terpenes, or flavonoids.
With anti-inflammatory and other health effects, flavonoids are plant compounds that give plants their colors and flavors. Flavonoids work with cannabinoids and terpenes, which are naturally occurring compounds in cannabis that shape aroma, taste, colors and therapeutic benefits, to produce the โentourage effect,โ enhancing their impact.
โCBD needs to have both terpenes and flavonoids,โ David says. โThey bond to receptors in your body. Without those, you wonโt have the full benefit of CBD.โ
Debra and David say that they love educating their customers and clear up misinformation about CBD. Their CBD products wonโt get you high, arenโt illegal, wonโt make you impaired and you donโt need a Medical Cannabis card to purchase them.
Instead, their products help with anxiety, sleep issues, chronic pain and more.
โOur products are all-natural, organic, and non-addictive, Debra says. โYou can buy CBD anywhere โ a smoke shop or gas station, even on Amazon โ but you donโt want to do that because anything you are putting on your body or in your body, you want to make sure it is good quality. You risk getting a synthetic, damaging product that can harm your health.โ
David adds, โWeโre third-party tested. We have QR codes on everything we sell, and you can bring up each productโs lab report. We guarantee whatโs in our products. We have referring doctors who send patients to us because they know the quality is there.โ
By scanning the QR code on Your CBD Store of New Tampaโs products, customers can track each from growth to sale.
โIn other words,โ David says. โWe follow our products from soil to oil.โ
New Products
Debra and David are enthusiastic about their storeโs newest products, some of which have been enhanced with more CBD โ like their SunMed topical cream, which is now available in 4,000-milligram strength โ while others are brand new.
โOur topical cream is amazing for isolated pain,โ Debra says. โI had a knee replacement years ago, and I had not been able to walk long distances. The product came out in December, and my husband and I were going Christmas shopping, and I could walk the entire mall. Itโs been selling off the shelves left and right. Weโve always had 1,000- and 2,000-milligram strengths since we opened, but the 4,000 milligrams is amazing.โ
Debra also recommends Neuro, a water-soluble CBD, for pain management. While the storeโs original daily oil tincture takes time to work, based on your metabolism and weight, the as-needed, water-soluble CBD effects of Neuro are felt more quickly.
โYou take the dropper of Neuro and put it in a Dixie cup size of water and drink it,โ she says. โIt goes into your body within 10 minutes, comes in 900- and 1,800-milligram strengths, and is also in a gummy form. People love it. I have a lady who comes in weekly and buys two jars. It helps with aches and pains throughout the body.โ
The Delta Effect
Your CBD Store of New Tampa also sells both โAboveโ (with Delta 8 THC) and โBeyondโ (with Delta 9 THC) by SunMed.
Recently, Delta products have come under fire from the state legislature, with both houses of the Florida legislature trying to possibly ban them or at least severely reduce the THC in these products statewide.ย But, while the ban on Delta 8, Delta 9 and Delta 10 products did not pass both houses, Debra says that a reduction in the legal limit in Florida of THC in these products (from the current legal limit of 0.3%) is still a possibility in the future. Feel free to stop into Your CBD Store of New Tampa to keep up with the latest news, as David and Debra continue to monitor the situation.ย
โThe problem is that the products the legislature really wants to ban are the synthetic Delta products,โ Debra says. โThey also want to reduce the legal amount of THC from 0.3% to a lower amount in all CBD products. Additional concerns are the labeling/packaging of these products, but SunMed has met all of the FDAโs package requirements.โ
She adds, โOur products with THC are all natural and are strictly regulated by our suppliers. There is nothing synthetic in our products. Banning all Delta products wouldnโt just hurt us in the CBD business. It would devastate the growers throughout Florida and damage the stateโs economy. Our customers receive relief from our products, which have changed the quality of many lives.โ
As some prescriptions do conflict with CBD, Debra suggests that if you are taking medications, you should speak with your physician before starting a CBD regimen.
โWe can print out the lab report to give to your doctor,โ David says.
For pet parents, beyond their regular CBD pet treats, chews and tinctures for health and anxiety, Debra recommends another new product โ Broad Spectrum Allergy Aid CBD Pet Chews, which have only been in the store for about a month, to help with โhot spotsโ and seasonal skin allergies.
Debra and David are proud of their storeโs Google reviews, which average a 4.9 stars out of 5, based on 170+ reviews.
โIf you look at our reviews,โ Debra says, โyouโll see people love the products and that theyโre changing lives.โ
The results of using these CBD products can be transformative, as R. Langelier attests in a 5-star Google review:
โMy wife was never a strong believer in CBD helping. But, because her anxiety had gotten worse, and her prescription was no longer doing the trick, on a whim, we came inโฆ. The product itself works so well and so quickly that I canโt help but urge anyone who is on the fence about it to please, for your own sake, come in and try it. I feel bad I can only give 5 stars when they deserve so much more.โ
