Owner of u Bucha — a CBD cannabis store in Warsaw (Metro Nowy Świat-Uniwersytet). Since [year], I have been selecting CBD products, adaptogens, and supplements that support sleep, recovery, and immunity. I work directly with customers in the physical store, test products, and keep track of the latest clinical research on cannabinoids.
