Hong Kong, as the city with the highest global stress index, every urbanite carries a heavy burden of pressure, especially during the pandemic. If stress is not released, it is definitely detrimental to physical and mental health. While exercising and eating good food are ways to relieve stress, perhaps there is a method that many people have not tried – using products containing cannabidiol (CBD). Local brand Gentle Bro utilizes the stress-relieving properties of CBD to create products that offer an alternative way for Hong Kong people to release stress.
Before formally introducing the Gentle Bro brand, let everyone understand what exactly is cannabidiol (CBD). When people hear the word “cannabis,” they may wonder if it is a drug, right? Isn’t it illegal in Hong Kong? Yes, cannabis is indeed a controlled substance in Hong Kong, but CBD is not. It is a non-psychoactive ingredient that has been deemed legal in Hong Kong. CBD does not produce the euphoric and hallucinogenic effects like another cannabis chemical compound called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Instead, the proper dosage can provide pain relief, anti-depressant effects, and relaxation.
Established in 2019, the local lifestyle brand Gentle Bro, led by Frankie Law, found that there were all kinds of nutritional supplements on the market, but none were completely natural and could relieve pain and reduce stress. He later learned that CBD, which is very popular in Europe and America, can bring great benefits to mental health. Therefore, he started researching how to incorporate it into various products and introduced it to Hong Kong.
As a pioneer in using CBD widely in health products, Gentle Bro has partnered with the largest research and development plant of plant cannabinoids in the United States to dispel everyone’s doubts and make it clear that their products are 100% THC-free, allowing everyone to use them with peace of mind.
