AS A COMIC BOOK CREATOR
Although in many circles in the entertainment and media world our subject is known as "Slow Chemical", however in the comic book sphere he's acknowledged by his pen name (which also happens to be his "Government name") Ryan White.  Ryan, is a very established comic book writer, creator and publisher that is the mastermind behind many classic indie titles such as Blind Men Lead, Dawn of the Mask, Late Justice and his latest project The Geneva Convention.  Ryan White has spoken and presented at numerous Comic-Con panels across the nation as well as overseas.  Ryan has plans on releasing and publishing many more titles, and expanding his per-existing material very soon.  With the success of his current comic book series "The Geneva Convention" there is certainly no slowing down on his end now.

AS A MUSICIAN / SONGWRITER
By day our hero is mild-mannered comic book author and originator Ryan White, but by night he is the outspoken, profound, complex lyricist, spoken word artist / rapper Slow Chemical.  At the end of 2019, Slow Chemical released two back to back critically acclaimed music anthologies, the album Midnight Inspired and the follow up EP Serving All Masters which features guest contributions from Philonious Phunk (AKA "Phil Royal") from the nerdcore hip hop super group S.P.F. (Symphonic Pheenix Force) and from many others.  Slow Chemical also produces and composes his own backdrops and tracks for his albums.  Slow Chemical's music has gotten a lot of praise and respect on many high profile and prestigious blogs and music / entertainment websites such as Sonic Revolution, Platinum Radio Online, The Media Blast, and Nerdstar Hip Hop just to name a few.

THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CBD INFUSED products by OXZGEN

          Until recently, many people in the world utilized marijuana for recreational purposes. With marijuana becoming legal in most states to treat medical illnesses, doctors have been prescribing it to their patients to treat everything from pain to depression. Dispensaries have also started appearing in states where marijuana is legal. This has resulted in marijuana being even more accessible to everyday people. This ease of accessibility does not always ensure the safety, or the quality of marijuana sold for medicinal purposes.  Not all dispensaries offer high quality product which is tested for safety.

          Possessing and using marijuana is still illegal in many states. People in states where it is illegal to use marijuana still buy marijuana off the street. Possession of marijuana is a crime in those states and can have negative consequences, including jail time and loss of employment.  Marijuana bought on the street can be laced with other impure substances, as well as other drugs including amphetamines, cocaine, and opiates. This places the user at significant risk for negative consequences to their health.
 Although buying marijuana off the street can be dangerous because it may be laced, "Store bought" cannabis isn't always purist either.  Most weed coming from so called "credible sources" still aren't free of GMO and could even contain traces of chemicals that could have an undesired effects on the users in the long-run.  
Since the passage of the 2018 Farm Bill, growing and selling hemp and hemp derived products have seen a major increase. According to Web MD;
‘Cannabidiol is a chemical in the Cannabis sativa plant, also known as marijuana or hemp. Over 80 chemicals, known as cannabinoids, have been identified in the Cannabis sativa plant. While delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is the major psychoactive ingredient in marijuana (that’s what gets users high), cannabidiol is also obtained from hemp, which contains only very small amounts of THC. This is the reason why people who use products containing CBD do not get high. Cannabidiol has effects on the brain. The exact cause for these effects is not clear. However, cannabidiol seems to prevent the breakdown of a chemical in the brain that affects pain, mood, and mental function. Cannabidiol might also block some of the psychoactive effects of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).’
CBD has been shown to provide all the natural health benefits of marijuana without the psychoactive effects (feeling high).  As a result, many companies have created CBD products for people who are unable to use marijuana because it is legal status in the state they live in, are subjected to random drug testing at work, or who want the benefits of marijuana without the feeling of being high. CBD shops have been opening in large numbers all across the country, and online shopping sites including Amazon have been selling hemp oil containing CBD.

          OXZGEN CBD was created for the person who wants to enjoy the health benefits of CBD without the psychoactive effects of THC.  Since OXZGEN CBD infused products are 100% THC free, if you are subjected to random drug screening at your place of employment, you will not test positive for marijuana!  OXZGEN works hard to make sure each product is free of THC. In fact, all products come with a Certificate of Analysis which verifies the absence of THC. 
Oxzgen products are available at this link

What types of CBD infused products does Oxzgen have?  Oxzgen has a wide range of various products from oils, to rubs, to beverages and edibles.  Some of the commonly used Oxzgen products are the pain relief rubs and coffee among other things.  Try them for yourself and let us know which Oxzgen products you prefer.  You can purchase the products Oxzgen products at
