CULTUREMAP -- A buzzy new shop has quietly opened on Austin's east side. Rawsome, a family-owned mini-chain selling handcrafted cannabinoid — or CBD — oil just rolled out at 1210 Rosewood Ave.
CBD oil is a naturally occurring compound found in cannabis plants. Unlike marijuana, which has high levels of THC (the chemical compound that gets users high), CBD oil usually carries less than 1 percent. As a result, CBD oil is used to treat everything from insomnia to seizures to arthritis without the psychoactive side effects. (Oh, and it's legal.)
Though the product has been available to Austinites at stores around the city, Rawsome is the first store dedicated solely to CBD oil. "What we offer is a quiet learning environment and our missions: only two ingredients, which are certified organic and wholesale pricing for everyone," Rawsome's Gina Andres tells CultureMap.
