Our Story
Glenna’s CBD was organically developed by Glenna, who has suffered with chronic pudendal nerve entrapment since 2003. She was in dire need of finding a healthy choice for her own pain relief that had no undesirable side effects. While visiting family in Denver, Colorado, she was introduced to CBD Oil. It was a life-changing discovery! Since then, it has been her mission to research and cultivate CBD products that are safe, effective and third party tested. Her drive and passion became a budding reality when she developed Colorado’s Brand Distributing (CBD) dba Glenna’s CBD Best Oil in 2015. She has since become a licensed New York State farmer and grows her own hemp and cannabis in Rochester, New York. She has her own Spa (Massages, Facials & Waxing) and stores in 12 Corners Brighton & Eastview Mall. 30+ Rochester & Buffalo stores carry her award winning products and are distributed in 14 states. Glenna’s CBD team enjoys helping people & pets find the best CBD products for them.
