CBD oil, and its uses for health benefits, has caused quite a stir over the past several months and this trend continue to take hold with the product now featuring in a recent limited edition burger at American fast food chain Carl's Jr.
Back on 20th April, dubbed National Weed Day in the US, the fast convenience chain added the Rocky Mountain High: Cheese Burger Delight (CBD) burger to its menus for one day only. The burger consisted of two beef patties infused with CBD, with Carl's Jr signature Santa Fe Sauce, pickled jalapenos, pepper jack cheese and fries on the side. We're not sure how much of a hit the burger was, but its appearance was another nod towards the rising emergence of the CBD trend across the industry.
