Endocannabinoid System

Almost every animal on the planet (aside from insects) have an endocannabinoid system. This system helps bring the body to an overall perfect balance (homeostasis) when properly supplemented. The endocannabinoid system is made up of CB1 Receptors and CB2 Receptors and endocannabinoids, such as anandamide. These receptors are placed all over the body, prominently in the brain and the gut. These receptors are triggered like lock and key by cannabinoids and do not distinguish the difference between plant cannabinoids and cannabinoids naturally produced within the body.

Ailments & Sources

The cannabis plant, and several other plants, have a wide variety of cannabinoids which have many benefits ranging from anti-inflammatory to anxiety relief. Contrary to the wide spread belief, there IS research on cannabinoids, and a lot of it! But don't take our word for it! Check out these links below with more depth to the research available:

Brands

The Pure Dream carries only the purest, cleanest brands proved with lab testing and research. All products are vegan, non-GMO, and organic. 

It's easy to shop for CBD if you do not know what to look for. When shopping for CBD, the number one thing to look for is LAB RESULTS. Lab testing should be available for every single product you are looking for and if the company cannot provide it, then don't buy the product. On the lab results, you should be able to see the concentration of cannabinoids, and whether there are any heavy metals, pesticides or harsh chemicals tested. We want to remind our customers and guests that 70% of CBD products on the market are mislabeled. Do your research and if you need assistance on a product, absolutely feel confident in reaching out to us via email at thepuredreamllc@gmail.com.

The Pure Dream

The Pure Dream opened its doors on March 22, 2018, the day after Indiana Governor Holcomb signed the hemp CBD bill into law. To be completely honest, we were going to open our doors and sell CBD regardless of the bill passing. The only stipulation being absolutely no THC in any of the products. But the universe was working in our favor. As we are preparing for opening day, last minute cleaning, hanging, organizing, counting, we start hearing on the radio, seeing on social media, on the news, "Holcomb legalized CBD," we lost it. Immediate tears are flowing and streaming from both of us. This is what we were meant to do. The hard work, the naysayers, the anti this and that, the controversy. All of that got us here. We were on the exact right track.

Since then, we have appeared on several local news stations, newspaper articles, and recommended by doctors and veterinarians all over northeastern Indiana. We are the only store in northern Indiana, maybe even a couple of hundred miles, to carry and properly recommend the HempMeds RSHO brand, which happens to be the only CBD brand listed in the Physician's Desk/Digital Reference and Veterinarians Desk/Digital Reference. We even received exclusive pricing for those products BECAUSE of our dedication to the RSHO brand and to our customers. We don't take this lightly. We take pride in the products we carry and recommend to you. We have chosen to provide vegan products made without artificial coloring, flavoring and preservatives because we truly want to be able to cater to everyone that walks into our doors. We strive to carry only top notch products that are nearly allergen free, sourced from the best hemp on planet Earth. We do not ever cut corners on products or service. We want to set the stage so that our customers will feel comfortable being picky about cannabis and most importantly, HOW to be picky about their cannabis! ​
