HOW TO RESPONSIBLY CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE DAY

Attention everyone, the United States turns 246 next Monday, and while we write about the holiday every year, this time, we're going to shake it up a bit! Compared to the other holidays we celebrate, our nation's Independence Day is one of the "coolest" holidays where clothing is optional and explosives (in the sky) are mandatory.

JULY FOURTH = DAYTIME RAGE

Compared to other holidays, the Fourth of July is very much a daytime holiday. Thanksgiving is usually a dinner party, Christmas Eve is at night, Christmas Day is just a continuation of Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve, well… that usually starts between 10:00 PM and 11:00 PM. So, really, INDEPENDENCE DAY is a daytime ordeal. However, there is a way to be part of the daylong celebrations without feeling like you've overdone it the next day. And it's a lot simpler than you might think.

And no, we're not going to tell you to ditch the beer and alcohol. There's a way to make the most of the festivities across most of the country while protecting your health by taking advantage of the wonders of CBD.

Using CBD oil to cure fears

For those who will be drinking heavily this coming Independence Day, one way to help lessen the pain of a hangover is to add a few drops of CBD tincture oil to your drink.

Let's face it: When was the last time you enjoyed a Fourth of July party and it wasn't blazing hot outside? When the temperature rises, chances are you're reaching for your 17th can of beer. So, to mitigate the inevitable hangover that'll catch you slipping at the end of the night, a few drops added to your drink can help keep your wits about you!

Fun fact: CBD works wonders for maintaining homeostasis. This means that when you drink alcohol, which is a diuretic, your body becomes severely dehydrated. So, by consuming a generous portion of CBD, you're encouraging your body to better respond to that dehydration.

While it won't necessarily dehydrate you more or less, CBD helps modulate your body's response to a perceived threat. If you find yourself reaching for that next can of beer or White Claw, your body will likely start screaming at you to reach for something a little more hydrating! After all, the point is to celebrate. all day , TRUE?

CALM YOUR PET'S NERVES WITH THEIR FAVORITE CBD TREATS TOO!

Last but not least, the Fourth of July is a holiday where fireworks exploding in the sky is a very normal occurrence. Well, it's normal for humans, definitely not for dogs or other pets. Keeping your pets calm and serene from dusk to dawn is an important aspect if you provide any care for your four-legged extended family members living at home.

Not only is it a good idea to take them for an early walk—one to do their business during the long night ahead and two, to tire them out enough to sleep through it—the next great idea is to feed them a generous helping of CBD. Between a few drops of CBD Pet Tincture on their food and some CBD dog treats because they’re good boys, having your pets on CBD is a surefire way to help them stay calm while explosions erupt in the sky! Your pets, and your sanity, will thank you later!
