Rolled-down windows, fast food at every bathroom break, and patience stretched so thin you can’t help but wonder if it’s too late to turn around. The destination is almost always worth it, but the right product can help ease the sacrifices made to get there. Luckily, the Proper Cannabis Committee (PCC) has spent thousands of hours testing cannabis products to find the best soothing, stress-relieving, and boredom-annihilating of the bunch. Using their feedback, we’ve compiled non-intoxicating CBD options for drivers and delightfully spacey highs for passengers. After all, drivers shouldn’t be distracted by lower back pain and passengers should enjoy the scenery while also managing the treacherous responsibility of being radio DJ. Word to the wise: If you’re planning on driving at any point in your road trip, please don’t test out the passenger options.

Wildflower’s CBD+ Cool Stick provides direct relief to the applied areas with a breezy cooling sensation, and it reduces inflammation, too. Between the pleasant minty smell and an application method that really sticks, you’ll likely be forced to share with everyone in the car.

Passenger Product: Goodship's Quinoa Crunch Chocolate Tokens
