The Hemp Oil Store

In 2016, Joseph Wilker decided it was time for a change when the school in which he was teaching began to lose its focus on putting students first. Mike Weiner, a business owner Wilker had known for over 30 years, suggested that he look into benefits of cannabinoids as a possible career change. After much research and picking the brains of many, many people, he was sold on its health benefits and business potential. So Wilker and Weiner started Cool Breeze Distributors, LLC. Wilker’s background in education as a health teacher was an excellent fit. Wilker’s son, who had a background in biochemistry, was also invited to join the business to help in product research. 

The distributorship grew, and after a few years, they felt it was time to branch out, so they opened The Hemp Oil Store, in Yardley. “We found that people needed a lot of education on CBD and hemp—what it is, if it’s safe to use, what to expect when using, etc. And we also needed to correct the notion that one product fits all, which, unfortunately, is still prevalent in our business,” explains Wilker. “People need a more personal and informative approach about what cannabinoids can do and how they can improve overall well-being for themselves and their pets. Each person’s body is different, so no two people will react to CBD or hemp in exactly the same way.”

As a family-run business, they have the opportunity to help educate customers in a more personal way. Their commitment is to offer high-quality CBD products at affordable prices. All brands and products are thoroughly vetted to ensure they use high-quality, domestic hemp. Each product is third-party lab tested to verify its quality and safety. 

“We carry a wide variety of products to fit every lifestyle. Our selection includes a large number of THC-free products that are safe for everyone, including individuals that may get drug tested. For individuals looking for topical relief, we carry a wide variety of creams, lotions and sticks that utilize menthol, camphor and other natural ingredients in addition to CBD,” states Weiner. Featured offerings include beauty products such as bath bombs and mud masks that allow the individual to relax and unwind while enjoying the benefits of CBD, a selection of CBD droppers in a variety of strengths and flavors for the perfect dose of CBD, and a wide variety of products to support pet needs.

Wilker shares, “Our knack for selecting only the finest quality hemp oil is what led us to create our own exclusive line of hemp oil products, Colorado Brands Direct. We are dedicated to providing quality and value in our products and customer service, and we hope that your experience mirrors those goals.” 


Located at 3 E. Afton Ave., in Yardley, Pennsylvania. The Hemp Oil Store is open from 10am to 6:30pm, Monday through Saturday., and from 10am to 4 pm, on Sunday. For more information, call 855-904-4367, email [email protected] or visit TheHempOilStore.com.      See ad, page 17.

Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
