Wake Forest Hemp owners, Angelo and Elizabeth Belardo are happy to bring CBD solutions to Wake Forest, North Carolina. Opened in 2019, they wanted to bring a way for people to find alternatives to heavy medications and illegal substances. Far too often, solutions provided to us for ailments and mental health issues are drugs that are more for profit and not to solve the issue. Or maybe there are times where what is prescribed is simply not working. In their own personal lives, they found CBD to be a solution that has helped us and our loved ones in that very situation. Check out the new health care alternative at 121 S. White St.
