In this Shoptalk episode, Chloe opens the door to the world of hemp, cannabis, and CBD—offering practical, grounded basics to help you think about how these medicinals might fit into your own Chinese herbal practice.
She begins with the long arc of historical use, then brings it forward into her personal story: how this plant medicine supported her son’s health and eventually inspired the creation of Radical Roots. Along the way, she demystifies some of the most common points of confusion—what really distinguishes hemp from marijuana, how CBD differs from THC, and why the endogenous cannabinoid system matters for clinical outcomes.
And because every herbalist wants to know what they’re actually putting into their formulas, she wraps up with a clear, accessible look at extraction methods and quality control.
It’s an approachable, insight-rich conversation you won’t want to miss.
Dr. Chloe Weber is a doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine and a board-certified and licensed acupuncturist and herbalist based in Boulder, CO. She is the co-founder of the wildly popular Radical Roots , a supplement company that combines the power of Chinese medicine with full-spectrum hemp to treat today’s most common conditions including stress, aging, and digestion.
Chloe’s passion for public health and medicine was ignited by her diagnosis of Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in high school and fueled by her search for holistic support for her son Remy, who has a rare genetic disorder causing global delays and epilepsy. Her work with Remy motivated her to find ways to help children with neuro-developmental issues and seizures, creating “Remy’s Revenge.” The formula uses a unique and effective alchemical extraction technique called spagyrics that contains high-potency, full-spectrum plant extracts and combines the power of Eastern and Western herbal traditions to potentiate the actions of hemp.
Chloe is on a mission to help as many children and adults as she can by empowering them with her knowledge and expertise about the power of herbs. Visit www.radicalrootsherbs.com to learn more about her products or connect with Chloe about using these medicinals in your clinical work.
