CBD Leafline was founded in 2018 and is owned by Paul and Sonia Shrive.
How their CBD journey started...Their first encounter with the wonderful hemp plant was at the age of 15 when Paul accompanied his father on a 6 month business trip to Naorobi, Africa. There, he had the rare opportunity to explore and live the life of a local and saw firsthand how the African people used the plant in various ways throughout their daily lives.
Not only was the plant used for its therapeutic and healing properties but also to build homes, make rope, clothes and soap, this was normal and accepted by everyone.Even at this young age he was able to witness and appreciate how amazing the plant was, however, on returning back to the UK he was told by his father to leave his experience in Africa as it was illegal explaining that the UK didn't recognise the plant in the way the African people embraced it.
In 2016, the spark of the CBD industry was ignited when CBD (cannabidiol) was classed as a food supplement in the UK, allowing the active ingredient to be infused into products for consumption and use. Recalling his love and passion for the plant, he began to research and set about working out how he could bring his own range of CBD products to market. Leafline decided to finally take the plunge towards the end of 2018 with the mindset of ‘no regrets’.
