27928 State Hwy 64 • Canton, TX 75103 • 903-567- 3948 CBD products are everywhere in Texas since the state legalized hemp.

Experts warn: buyer beware.

By Naomi Andu January 23, 2020 *correction appended.

In 2017, business was slow for Sarah Kerver. She was a sales rep for a Colorado-based company trying to push hemp and CBD products in Texas. But customers were apprehensive.

“No one wanted to touch [CBD]. No one wanted to talk about it. No one was interested in carrying this product in any sort of spa or retail space,” Kerver said.

Today, the market for CBD, or cannabidiol, is exploding. Stores are popping up across the state selling tinctures and topicals. It’s being mixed into smoothies and coffee at cafes. Spas are

advertising CBD massages and therapies. And much of the sudden spike in popularity is thanks to a Texas law last year that legalized hemp, the plant from which CBD is derived.

“You go anywhere now, and you find something that says ‘CBD’ on it,” said Kerver, who’s now in talks with Austin distributors interested in carrying her CBD product line, called 1937 Apothecary.

But buyer beware, experts warn. Anyone can sell CBD in Texas. Many of the products are advertised as natural alternatives to prescription medications and make unfounded claims to treat conditions like chron-

Previously, she marijuana is rich in THC was able to sell Colorado and produces a high, hemp CBD products before the

federal government legalized hemp because of the 2014 Farm Bill, which started a pilot program for participating states to grow industrial hemp.

“There’s been more media around it since Texas has come on board, definitely,” Kerver said. “Texans are becoming more educated about it and much more open to it.”

Industry leaders say they can’t calculate the exact number of new CBD businesses that have opened in Texas over the past year — in part because the Texas Department of State Health Services won’t implement licensing requirements until early this year — though anecdotally, many say they’ve seen an uptick.

The Austin Chamber of Commerce counted at least three CBD-related relocations or expansions since the bill passed last summer, creating about 140 new jobs in the emerging sector.

But the list, which is compiled from public media announcements and deals the chamber is involved in, isn’t comprehensive.

Sisters Shayda and Sydney Torabi founded Restart CBD in September 2018, just before the Farm Bill passed. Sydney Torabi said the changes in the law have made business run more smoothly.

The two originally intended to operate the business

exclusively online but decided to open a brick-andmortar location in Austin after having difficulty with several online payment companies, from momand-pop merchants to giants like PayPal, that didn’t want anything to do with cannabis.

“We were a business, but it wasn’t as functional as it could’ve been until the [Texas] law passed,” Sydney Torabi said.

The Torabis started with a pop-up store and expanded to a permanent location last April, a month before Texas law changed.

“We were operating in a gray area until the Texas bill passed,” Sydney said.

“It did take away a little bit of the stigma. Like, ‘OK, now it’s legal in Texas. We can go to a CBD shop and not feel like we’re doing something bad.’

How small businesses improve the consumer experience

Small business is big business.

Though it's easy and not necessarily inaccurate to associate small businesses with Main Street, small- and medium-size companies are players in the international trade arena as well.

A 2015 report from the U.S. Census Bureau found that smalland medium-sized companies comprised 97.6 percent of all identified exporters and 97.2 percent of all identified importers.

Small businesses can compete in both the domestic and international trade arenas for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is the experience they provide for customers. While they may not have the marketing muscle to compete with large corporations, many small businesses have perfected the art of providing topnotch experiences for their cust o m e r.

Lake Holbrook Fire The picture on time we had. Afthis page is a courtesy picture f r o m Wo o d C o u n ty Now and we appreciate them letting us use this picture.

N o w, w h a t i s this a picture of?

It is a picture of the fire that ocured in the early morning hours of July 5, 2021.

Sometime just after 3:00 am a fire broke out at Lakeview Apartments on beautiful Lake Holbrook.

My wife woke me up saying someone was banging on our doors. I got out of bed and put my robe on to assess the situation and when I looked out our patio door to my right I saw flames raging out of control and I went back in to grab my wife who was grabbing precious family pictures.

J u s t t h e n Wo o d County Depuities came in to herd u s t o s a f e t y.

We r e a l l y d i d n ’ t know how little

ter Michale and I got our cars moved we noticed there were u n i t s f r o m M I n e o l a , G r a n d Saline, A l b a , G o l d en, and other units. After awhile the Mineola Fire Chief came by to offer water and to make sure my wife and I were ok.

My immediate concern was for some very young children who lived in that end of the complex.

I was informed they were all accounted for and amazingly there was no loss of life.

Thank goodness for good neighbors like Gerald.

I call him Mr, G because that is what he likes to be called. He hurt his shoulder trying to break down one of the doors.

We d i d n o t g e t

Michale (my wife) and Kim ( My Bonus Daughter) had prayed that the fire would stop at a pre-determined spot and glory to GOD, the fire department got the flames under control at that exact spot.

We h a d n o r e a l smoke damager, h o w e v er the smoke s m e l l s t i l l l i n gers even after two weeks.

As I write this on July 12, 2021, My Land Lord Johnny Wilson and I both concur it is our opinion that the fire was started by fireworks.

We s t i l l a w a i t the fire investigators final report but I would be shocked if the fire weren’t attributed to fireworks.

My wife would like to thank all the first responders who put their life in great peril to make sure the residents of the apartment were safe.

I also want to thank Red Cross who helped all of my displaced neighbors.

I also want to

thank all of the neighbors and former neighbors who came and offered compassion and care in the hours after the fire.

This is why I don’t condone fireworks and I like to leave fireworks to the professionals.

Just one spark can start a fire that will ruin s o m e o n e ’s life, or worse yet, take a life.

BORROW YOUR OWN MONEY

Dear Dave, I have a question about self-banking with whole term life insurance. The way I understand it, you can accrue a cash balance, borrow against it, and then pay interest to yourself. Is this worth it, or should I stay away from it and continue using a bank?

Kunal Dear Kunal, Actually, it’s a whole life policy, not a term policy. And it’s an absolute scam.

Basically, with whole life you pay about 20 times more for the same amount of insurance that

you would with a term policy. The extra money goes into a savings account, and you earn next to nothing on it, even after you finally start to build it up. One of the ways they’re pitching it now is the self-banking concept, where you can use your own money.

It’s nothing magical or anything, because with a regular checking account you use your own money.

My advice is to stay away from the company that’s offering it and anything else they have.

It’s a really bad product, and it’s a scummy way to sell whole life insurance—which is an awful product to begin with.

No one, except for folks in that business, believes in it or talks positively about it anymore.

Being able to borrow your own money? Really? Why on earth would anyone want to borrow their own money? It’s ridiculous!

—Dave Should I tithe on my business?

Dear Dave, My wife and I are Christians, and we own a successful small business in our town. Should businesses tithe?

Barker Dear Barker, This is a good question. Giving is never a bad idea unless you do it irresponsibly and to

the point of putting your family in financial danger. To the best of my knowledge, the Bible only addresses the topic of tithing by individuals—not businesses.

Personally, I don’t give a tenth of my business gross or net until I receive my paycheck. When that happens—meaning it’s profit that I’m going to pay taxes on, or it’s salaried income out of my business—I tithe on the profits.

So, I can’t really tell you I’ve found Biblical instruction to give a tenth of your business. Hope this helps!
