Herbsnleaf owner Prakash “Kash” Ronveila takes what he does very seriously. He believes in the healthful and holistic healing abilities of the CBD products he sells in his Costa Mesa shop.

“We truly believe health is wealth,” the website reads.

The products can be edibles, drinks and capsules to vapes and oils, all offering the proven benefits of CBD as a treatment for chronic pain, anxiety and insomnia as well as other conditions.

The shop he started in 2006, was one of Orange County’s first in selling hemp-based products and though most of what he sells is for humans, he also stocks a lot of different products for pets as well.

According to the website, “We take pride in knowing that we have been able to help people and their pets with aches and pains as well as with their worries and anxieties.”

Certain CBD products are safe and designed for pets, including the CBD treats he sells, as well as the liquid CBD for cats or dogs experiencing stress, anxiety and agitation.

Ronveila is grateful to his customers for the distinction, saying “first and foremost our commitment is towards our customers. It’s a commitment to provide the best service, products, environment and prices to our customers for the last 13 years. We’re thrilled we have been voted twice in a row ‘the best CBD store in OC.’”

2. SunMed — Your CBD Store

SunMed started out in earnest. In search of a medical answer.

Rachael Quinn founded SunMed and SunFlora because her husband Marcus was diagnosed with the inflammatory disorder Crohn’s disease. CBD has been found very helpful in treating it, so she developed a CBD-based line of products, SunMed, in Florida in 2018.

Five years later, SunMed is an extensive line of 62 different products available in her multiple shops. She sells gummies for better sleep, better alertness, and better state of mind.

After a workout, her bath bombs and muscle creams can help sooth soreness and fatigue. There are also tinctures for weight loss, sleep and mental clarity. And when you’re done taking care of yourself, she has CBD-infused treats, chews and tinctures for dogs and cats.

And part of SunMed’s reputation comes from providing something few other companies do: Access to all lab testing results.

3. The CBD Shop

Huntington Beach’s most popular CBD store has also scored a place on this year’s readers’ poll and has kept customers happy with edibles, tinctures, topicals, vapes, softgels and capsules.

The CBD Shop’s website breaks down its merchandise by type of product, brand also the symptom a customer may be seeking help with, such as sleep, pain, stress or anti-aging.

“Very informative with helping me choose some CBD with the right amount of dosage and the brand. So glad I came. Thanks and I plan to be back again soon when I need more.” says Josh B. of Huntington Beach in his Yelp review.

Ana J., also of Huntington Beach says “So helpful in guiding my options. Almost too much to choose from. I will definitely be back.”

“They were very informative and helped my father find exactly what he needed, went through all the products and (their) uses. We settled on some gummies and a balm for his extremely injured back and he felt immediate relief.” says Ryan O. of Westminster.
