“CBD can be a game-changer for older adults.”
That’s not from a cannabis activist or a hemp farmer.
That’s from a video shared this week on Truth Social by former President Donald Trump.
The clip was produced by The Commonwealth Project and it spotlights hemp-derived CBD for seniors.
And yes, it’s already shaking up both politics and the stock market.
Why this moment matters
As Forbes put it:
“Trump floated the idea of Medicare covering CBD in a video post that sparked buzz in both the health and financial sectors.”

And The Washington Post wrote:
“The nearly three-minute video described CBD as a ‘game changer’ for seniors... urging Medicare coverage and calling for doctors to be educated about the endocannabinoid system.”

The message? CBD is no longer fringe. It’s entered the national spotlight. In other words, it’s not just in wellness circles anymore — it’s officially part of the national conversation.
But let’s be real… this isn’t the first time
Politicians dipping into hemp and cannabis isn’t new.
Obama once spoke about CBD helping his grandmother during her cancer journey.
And some say the very first U.S. dollar bill was printed on hemp paper.
Facts, legends, or both, the point is simple: hemp has always been here.
What the video claimed
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) weakens with age, fueling pain, sleep issues, and stress.
CBD can “restore” the ECS, supporting better health and slowing disease progression.
Seniors are the fastest-growing group of CBD users, with some reports saying 20 percent are already using it.
Medicare coverage could save billions every year by reducing dependence on pharmaceuticals.
Our take...
We don’t need politicians to tell us CBD is powerful.
We knew it 17 years ago.
We were handcrafting CBD remedies before most people even knew what CBD was.
Back when research was slim. Back when “CBD skincare” wasn’t a category.
And we never waited for headlines, markets, or regulations to validate what we saw firsthand:
🌿 Wild plants work.
⏳ Six-week infusions matter.
