Hear from Our Customers
A lot of Merrick residents dealing with chronic pain have already tried something ibuprofen, stretching, the occasional massage. Some have even tried CBD before and walked away unimpressed. That’s usually a product problem, not a CBD problem.
Mislabeled products, underdosed tinctures, and no guidance on what to actually take are the norm in this industry. When you get the right product at the right potency, the experience is completely different.
For the commuter who boards at Merrick Station every morning and spends 90 minutes a day sitting in train cars and standing on platforms, back and shoulder tension is just part of the routine. Full spectrum CBD oil works with your body’s own systems to address inflammation and pain at the source not just mask it for a few hours. Our customers using D&D CBD, Inc.’s 12,000mg Full Spectrum CBD Oil report sleeping through the night and waking up without the stiffness that used to greet them every morning.
Merrick’s South Shore lifestyle adds another layer to this. Years of boating on Merrick Bay, maintaining waterfront property, and staying physically active take a real toll on joints and connective tissue. If you’re dealing with arthritis in your hands or knees, or the kind of inflammation that flares up every winter when the cold rolls in off the water, natural CBD wellness drops give you a daily option that doesn’t require a prescription or a pharmacy trip.
We were founded in 2019 by Dean and Debbie Nichol, a husband-and-wife team from East Northport, Long Island. Our daughter Erika has undergone more than 60 surgeries and lives with chronic pain and anxiety. When we discovered that CBD could meaningfully support her pain management alongside her conventional treatments, we didn’t just use it quietly we built a business around sharing it.
In September 2024, our son Brandon joined as a partner, making it a true family operation. This isn’t a brand built by investors looking to capitalize on a trend. It’s a Long Island family that found something that helped our own daughter and wanted to make it accessible to people dealing with the same kinds of struggles.
For Merrick residents navigating chronic pain, sleep disruption, or the daily grind of a Nassau County commuter lifestyle, that origin story matters. We’ve been featured in the Long Island Press and Dan’s Papers, and we’re a member of the Huntington Chamber of Commerce a real, accountable Long Island business, not an anonymous online retailer.
We operate by appointment only no walk-in retail counter, no guessing at a shelf. You can book an in-person appointment at our East Northport location, which is roughly 30 miles from Merrick via the Southern State Parkway and connecting routes, or you can do the whole thing virtually from your home.
For a community where a significant portion of residents are already managing packed commute schedules on the LIRR Babylon Branch, the virtual option is genuinely useful. When you connect with our team, the conversation starts with you your specific condition, what you’ve already tried, what hasn’t worked, and what your actual goal is.
From there, we match you to the right product and potency. If you’ve been dealing with back and shoulder pain from years of commuting or joint inflammation from an active South Shore lifestyle, that’s a different conversation than someone managing sleep anxiety or looking for a pet product for their dog. The guidance is specific, not generic.
Once you have your product, we walk you through how to use it correctly delivery method, dosing, timing, and what to expect as your body adjusts. Every product comes with a published Certificate of Analysis from a third-party lab, so you know exactly what’s in it before you ever take it. That transparency is built into every step, not offered as an afterthought.

We carry a product range that goes well beyond what you’ll find at the CBD store currently on Jerusalem Avenue in North Merrick. Our full spectrum CBD oil tinctures go up to 12,000mg a potency level designed for people who’ve tried lower-dose products and seen no results. That’s not a novelty; it’s the option that finally works for people with chronic, persistent pain who’ve been underdosed everywhere else they’ve shopped.
Beyond tinctures, we carry the Ameo Entune CBD Patch described as the first and only 24-hour clinical-grade transdermal CBD patch available. For a Merrick commuter who needs all-day relief without taking a tincture multiple times throughout the day, this is a fundamentally different delivery method. It goes on in the morning and works steadily through your commute, your workday, and your evening. No other local CBD provider on Long Island carries this product.
We also carry CBG oil and CBN products two additional hemp-derived cannabinoids with distinct applications. CBG has been reported by customers to support mental clarity, mood, and GI health. CBN is associated specifically with sleep support. For Merrick residents managing both daytime stress and nighttime sleep disruption, having access to all three cannabinoids under one roof with someone who can explain the difference is a real advantage.
For dog owners in this community, our Bacon Flavored CBD Oil for Dogs is 1,000mg, THC-free broad-spectrum, made in the USA, and veterinarian-approved in-house. All products comply with New York State’s Office of Cannabis Management cannabinoid hemp regulations and federal requirements under the 2018 Farm Bill.
Yes, hemp-derived CBD oil is legal in New York State, including Merrick and the broader Nassau County area. New York regulates CBD through the Office of Cannabis Management’s Cannabinoid Hemp Program. Retailers are required to hold a cannabinoid hemp retailer license, and products must meet specific standards including a delta-9 THC content at or below 0.3%, and a CBD to THC ratio of 15:1 or higher for most product types.
We explicitly state federal regulatory compliance, and every product comes with a published Certificate of Analysis from a third-party lab that verifies cannabinoid potency and THC levels. So if you’ve been hesitant about the legal side of things, or you’re not sure whether what you’re buying actually meets New York’s standards, that COA is your answer it’s not a claim, it’s documentation.
This is one of the most common and legitimate concerns, especially for Merrick residents who work in finance, healthcare, law, or any field where employer drug screening is standard. The honest answer is that it depends on the product type and how well it’s been verified.
Full spectrum CBD oil contains trace amounts of THC legally under 0.3% and in rare cases, regular use at high doses could potentially accumulate enough to trigger a sensitive drug test. If that’s a concern for you, broad-spectrum products remove THC entirely, and we carry both options.
More importantly, a 2023 study found that over 50% of CBD products labeled “THC-free” actually contained THC meaning the label alone isn’t enough. We publish third-party Certificates of Analysis for every product, which show the actual measured THC content. If you need to be certain, that’s the only way to be certain. Book a consultation and we’ll walk you through exactly which product fits your situation.
This is probably the most common thing people say before they actually find a product that works. The CBD industry has a serious quality problem a 2024 study found that only 7.5% of tested CBD products contained cannabidiol within 10% of their labeled amount. That means the vast majority of what’s on shelves is either significantly underdosed or mislabeled entirely.
If you tried a 500mg or 1,000mg tincture from a local shop and felt nothing, there’s a very real chance you were underdosed, or the product didn’t contain what it claimed. Our 12,000mg Full Spectrum CBD Oil is one of the highest-potency tinctures available anywhere on Long Island. It’s third-party lab verified, which means the potency on the label is the potency in the bottle.
Beyond that, the delivery method matters how you take it, when you take it, and what you’re taking it for all affect the outcome. That’s exactly why we work by appointment rather than just handing you a product off a shelf. The consultation is where the difference gets made.
Full spectrum CBD oil retains all the naturally occurring cannabinoids, terpenes, and plant compounds from the hemp plant including a trace amount of THC under 0.3%. The reason this matters is something called the entourage effect: the theory, backed by a growing body of research, that these compounds work better together than any single one does in isolation.
For pain and inflammation which are the primary reasons most Merrick residents are looking at CBD full spectrum is generally considered the most effective option. Broad spectrum removes the THC while keeping the other cannabinoids and terpenes intact. This is the right choice if you’re concerned about drug testing or simply prefer a THC-free product.
We carry both, and our dog tincture is broad spectrum and THC-free by design. CBD isolate is pure cannabidiol with everything else stripped out it’s the least complex form and generally considered less effective for pain management than the other two. During a consultation, our team will help you figure out which type actually fits your needs, rather than leaving you to guess on your own.
Pet CBD is a real and growing category, and for Merrick dog owners whose pets deal with anxiety especially around summer storms and holiday fireworks over the South Shore or age-related joint pain, it’s worth taking seriously. The concern most pet owners have is legitimate: a lot of pet CBD products on the market have no professional oversight whatsoever.
Our Bacon Flavored CBD Oil for Dogs is 1,000mg, broad-spectrum, THC-free, and made in the USA. It’s veterinarian-approved in-house, which means it went through professional review before it was ever offered to customers. THC-free broad-spectrum is the appropriate formulation for dogs you don’t want any THC in a product going to your pet.
As with all our products, the dog tincture comes with a Certificate of Analysis from a third-party lab. If you want to know what’s actually in it before you give it to your dog, that documentation is available and accessible. Book a consultation and we’ll walk you through dosing based on your dog’s size and condition.
There’s already a dedicated CBD retailer operating on Jerusalem Avenue in North Merrick, and if you’ve been there, you may have noticed a few things: the tinctures run $100 to $150 or more with tax, the experience is a walk-in retail model, and the product range tops out at 6,000mg. There’s no personalized consultation, no transdermal patch, no CBG or CBN as distinct product lines, and no veterinarian-approved pet product.
We operate differently. We’re appointment-based in person at our East Northport location or virtually, which means you never have to leave Merrick to access the consultation. Our product range includes the Ameo Entune 24-hour clinical-grade CBD patch, which no other local provider carries, along with CBG oil, CBN products, and a 12,000mg full spectrum tincture for people who need serious potency.
Every product is backed by a published Certificate of Analysis. And the team behind this business built it because of our own family’s experience with chronic pain and conventional medicine’s limits not because it was a good market opportunity. That context shapes how we talk to customers, what we recommend, and why the consultation model exists in the first place.
