Hear from Our Customers
A lot of people in Hempstead are managing real physical wear. Construction workers on Hempstead Turnpike, healthcare aides pulling long shifts near Nassau University Medical Center, commuters riding the LIRR Hempstead Branch into the city and back these aren’t desk jobs with ergonomic chairs. They’re demanding on the body, day after day, and the toll shows up in the back, the shoulders, the joints, and eventually in the quality of your sleep.
When you find a CBD oil that actually works potency verified, spectrum right for your condition, dose dialed in the difference is concrete. Our customers who use our full spectrum CBD oil report sleeping through the night without waking up stiff. Others describe hours of genuine pain relief from the topical salve after a long shift.
What makes Hempstead a different conversation than most Nassau County communities is the health data. NYU Langone’s own community research documents higher rates of diabetes, obesity, and high blood pressure among village residents compared to the county average conditions that frequently layer on top of each other and compound into chronic pain and disrupted sleep. If you’re managing more than one thing at once, you need a product and a conversation that accounts for that. That’s exactly what our consultation model is built for.
We founded D&D CBD, Inc. in 2019 as a husband-and-wife team Dean and Debbie Nichol out of East Northport, Long Island. Our daughter Erika has undergone more than 60 surgeries and lives with chronic pain and anxiety. CBD oil became part of how our family managed that reality alongside conventional treatment. That experience not a market opportunity is what built this business.
In September 2024, our son Brandon officially joined as a partner, making it a three-person family operation. We’re not a chain, not a dispensary with a thousand SKUs, and not an online brand with no one to call. We’re a Long Island family who knows what chronic pain looks like up close, and we built something to help other people navigate it.
For Hempstead residents who’ve dealt with a healthcare system that doesn’t always have time for you and a higher-than-county-average uninsured rate that makes every appointment a financial decision having access to a knowledgeable, personalized consultation with no prescription required and no waiting room is genuinely different from what’s available locally.
The process starts with a conversation, not a product catalog. We operate by appointment only either in person at our East Northport location or virtually, which means if you’re in Hempstead, you don’t need to drive anywhere. You book a time, you talk through what you’re dealing with the back pain, the sleep issues, the anxiety, whatever it is and you get a recommendation based on your specific situation, not a generic suggestion pulled from a shelf.
From there, the product match matters more than most people realize. Full spectrum CBD oil works differently than broad-spectrum. A 12,000mg tincture is not the same conversation as a 1,000mg entry-level product. CBG oil addresses different things than CBD. CBN has a different role in sleep support. The consultation is what separates getting the right product from wasting money on something that wasn’t suited to your needs in the first place which, based on industry data, happens to more than half of CBD buyers who purchase without guidance.
Once you have your product, the guidance continues. We’ll walk you through how to use it sublingual dosing, timing, what to expect in the first week, and when and how to adjust. For Hempstead residents managing conditions tied to physical labor, long commutes, or the chronic health concerns documented in the village, that follow-through is part of what makes this work.

Most CBD shops carry one thing in varying strengths. We carry three distinct phytocannabinoids CBD, CBG, and CBN because different conditions call for different tools. CBD is the foundation for pain and inflammation. CBN supports sleep. CBG has been reported by our customers to improve mental clarity, reduce GI inflammation, and support mood without any psychoactive effect. For someone in Hempstead managing overlapping conditions chronic back pain, poor sleep, stress from a demanding commute along NY-24 or a long day at a construction site knowing which one applies to you is exactly what the consultation is for.
Our product line includes full spectrum and broad-spectrum CBD oil tinctures, a topical salve for localized pain, the Ameo Entune CBD Patch the only 24-hour clinical-grade transdermal CBD patch available anywhere and a veterinarian-approved Bacon Flavored CBD Oil for Dogs that’s THC-free, broad-spectrum, and made in the USA. Every single product comes with a published Certificate of Analysis from a third-party lab. That means you can verify the potency, confirm the THC level, and check for contaminants before you take anything.
That last point matters more than it sounds. A 2023 study published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence found that over 50% of CBD products labeled “THC-free” actually contained THC. For Hempstead residents who drive for work, operate equipment, or are subject to employer drug testing, buying an untested product off a convenience store shelf is a real risk. Our COA-backed transparency isn’t a marketing feature it’s protection.
It depends on the product, the potency, and the delivery method and that’s where most people go wrong before they ever get a real answer. A low-dose CBD isolate from an unlicensed online brand is not the same as a COA-verified, full spectrum CBD oil tincture with the entourage effect working in its favor. Full spectrum products retain all the cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant compounds that work together synergistically and that combination is consistently what users with chronic pain report making the difference.
We carry a 12,000mg full spectrum CBD oil that’s specifically suited for people who’ve tried lower-dose products and seen nothing. Real customers report significant reductions in chronic back pain one described keeping the Ameo Entune patch on their lower back and feeling the pain subside over the course of the day. For Hempstead residents whose back and shoulder pain comes from physically demanding work or the cumulative strain of long daily commutes, the right product at the right potency, guided by a real consultation, gives you a much better shot at actual relief than buying something off a shelf.
Full spectrum CBD oil contains all the naturally occurring cannabinoids in the hemp plant, including trace amounts of THC always below 0.3%, which is the federal legal limit and is non-psychoactive. The reason this matters is something called the entourage effect: the theory, backed by growing research, that cannabinoids and terpenes work better together than any single compound works alone. For pain and inflammation, full spectrum is generally considered the most effective option.
Broad-spectrum CBD oil removes THC entirely while keeping the other cannabinoids intact. This is the right choice for anyone who is subject to employer drug testing, operates commercial vehicles, or simply wants zero THC exposure for any reason. Our dog tincture is broad-spectrum for exactly this reason. During your consultation, we’ll ask about your situation your job, your health goals, your concerns about THC and recommend the right spectrum for you specifically. It’s not a one-size-fits-all decision, and treating it like one is how people end up with a product that doesn’t fit their life.
This is one of the most common and most important questions, and the honest answer is: it depends on what you’re buying. Pure broad-spectrum CBD oil or CBD isolate from a verified, COA-backed source should not produce a positive drug test result, because a properly manufactured broad-spectrum product contains no detectable THC. The problem is that a 2023 study found more than half of CBD products labeled “THC-free” actually contained THC meaning the label alone isn’t enough.
For Hempstead residents who work in construction, healthcare, transportation, or any field with drug testing requirements, this is not a theoretical concern. We publish Certificates of Analysis for every product, so you can verify the THC content yourself before you take anything. If you need a THC-free option, our broad-spectrum tinctures and the dog CBD oil are both formulated and verified to contain no THC. The consultation is also the right place to have this conversation directly we’ll steer you toward the right product for your specific employment situation.
A standard pharmacy pain patch typically delivers a localized anti-inflammatory or numbing agent to a specific spot. The Ameo Entune CBD Patch is a transdermal delivery system meaning it absorbs full spectrum hemp-derived CBD through the skin directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system entirely. It provides steady, sustained absorption over a full 24 hours from a single application. No tincture to take mid-day, no topical to reapply after a few hours.
This makes it particularly practical for someone with a demanding schedule a Hempstead resident commuting via the LIRR Hempstead Branch into Penn Station or Grand Central Madison, spending 45 to 50 minutes each way in the same seated position, and then putting in a full workday on top of that. You apply the patch in the morning and it works through your commute, your shift, and your evening. We’re the only local Long Island provider that carries this product. Customers have reported a full eight hours of uninterrupted sleep and significant reductions in chronic back pain from consistent patch use outcomes that are documented in their own testimonials.
CBD oil can be safe for dogs when the product is specifically formulated for animals, contains no THC, and is dosed appropriately for your dog’s weight. The risk with generic pet CBD products particularly anything sold without a label or COA is THC contamination, which is toxic to dogs even in small amounts. This is not a minor concern; it’s the reason veterinary guidance matters before you give your dog anything.
Our Bacon Flavored CBD Oil for Dogs is a 1,000mg, THC-free broad-spectrum formula made in the USA and veterinarian-approved in-house. It comes with a dropper for precise dosing and is formulated for quick absorption. For Hempstead dog owners whether your dog has joint pain from age, anxiety from noise near the transit center, or general inflammation the consultation process covers pet products too. We’ll walk you through dosing based on your dog’s size and condition so you’re not guessing. And because the product is COA-verified, you can confirm there’s zero THC before it ever reaches your pet.
Yes and this is one of the more practical aspects of how we operate. Our physical location is in East Northport, Suffolk County, which is roughly 25 to 30 miles from the Village of Hempstead.

You book a time, connect virtually, and get the same personalized, one-on-one guidance as someone walking into our East Northport location.
For Hempstead residents particularly those without health insurance who are already managing the cost of everyday healthcare, or those working long hours in construction or at facilities like Nassau University Medical Center removing the travel barrier matters. A virtual consultation means you get real, expert guidance on CBD oils in Hempstead, NY without adding another trip to your week.
