Rebecca's Journey

Rebecca is co-founder of The Award Winning Wee Hemp Company along with husband Calum- a small family run business based in Aberdeen that sells superior quality CBD infused products via their online store which launched on 22 May 2018.

"Not only are Wee committed to selling the very best products available on the market, Wee are committed and passionate about promoting health and wellness via a natural, holistic route, as well as educating Wee Hempers (customers) on CBD, the multi-faceted hemp plant, and adopting a healthy, sustainable lifestyle." 

The business stems from Rebecca’s own journey with CBD.

Rebecca was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease at the age of five and has undergone four major operations, two of which were emergencies and required numerous procedures. In late 2016 she was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, another chronic illness, which was very debilitating. Due to the level of pharmaceutical medication she had received from a young age, her body started rejecting and reacting too many things.

"Wee adopted a natural, holistic approach. Through research Calum discovered that CBD could potentially help. Since starting, Rebecca has regained her life back from Fibromyalgia, her Crohn’s is in remission (for the 1st time since she was 5) and no longer requires pharmaceuticals.

Wee decided Wee wanted to help others, and so The Wee Hemp Company was born."
