Because Halloween falls on a Tuesday, you and your guests will need to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed the morning after. CBD is a great celebratory alternative to alcohol for many reasons- but mainly because it gives a similar euphoric effect that enhances your experience without the worry of being sick or hungover the next day. Unlike its counterpart, THC, CBD won’t give you or your guests any psychoactive side effects, so you’ll be perfectly fine to drive home safely at the end of the night.
