Meirav Devash writes: "Last year, I visited Denver, Colorado, to investigate the latest in legal weed wellness — specifically, cannabis-infused beauty treatments and the Denver Cannabis Spa scene. I met marijuana-enthused shamans, aestheticians, and massage therapists, and I had two massages using oil with CBD, a non-psychoactive cannabinoid extract from the marijuana plant. The massages were two of the best rubdowns of my life, likely because when applied topically — usually in the form of an oil or lotion — CBD has pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. And because of that, practitioners who use CBD are able to work muscles on a deeper level without any of the extra pain you'd get from a deep-tissue treatment."

 How do customers find out about your business? According to a recent survey, 85 percent of small businesses stated that it's by word of mouth, or WOM.

WOM isn't something you can purchase, but it's also not difficult to get. That said, this doesn't mean getting the most likes on Facebook or followers on Twitter.
