2Firsts interviewed Kerwell, the CBD brand selling wellness products at APE. Kerry and Bryan have pointed out the health benefits brought by cannabis.

 

David from Fort Lauderdale; edited by Mandy - On 5th March, 2Firsts interviewed Kerry Aiyash, the founder of Kerwell, and Bryan Christopher, the director of the operation of Kerwell. Kerwell is a premium CBD brand selling products related to health and wellness that are vegan and organic. 

 

Bryan introduced the background of the pharmacy industry and stressed the transition from recreation to health and wellness in the cannabis industry. Regarding the difference of CBD products in pharmacy and entertainment, Bryan said it depends on the formulation and whether people could benefit from it. For example, the Delta products and the HHC products could help patients with cancer, Parkinson, Alzheimer, and Dementia. " The CBD industry in the last year has transitioned from CBD stores to independent doctors, clinics, and fitness centers," said Bryan. However, some people, or even the government, only know that cannabis will get people high. Bryan believes it still takes time to educate people about the health benefit of CBD.

 

Nevertheless, Bryan thinks the industry will focus more on health and fitness than recreation in the future. Kerry also stated that the CBD world is all about health, wellness, and care, which is also the mission of Kerwell.
