LIFESTYLE Cannabis
Cannabis has been used medicinally for centuries, however in recent years the plant has gained renewed attention for self-care use and even for luxury beauty products. The people behind Lord Jones can attest to the benefits of cannabis. The company “manufactures and distributes the world's finest cannabis infused products,” as explained on its LinkedIn profile. The brand makes body lotion infused with cannabis, tailor-made to soothe stiff joints and muscle pain. Another skin care company using marijuana is Vertly. Founded by Claudia Mata, the company creates lotions and lip balms that apparently work like an essential vitamin. “We approached [marijuana] like a vitamin, so this is a small amount you get throughout the day,” Mata told Vanity Fair. Perhaps the next time you indulge in a luxury beauty product, you'll try a lotion steeped in cannabis.
