​​David and Nicole Downs recently took ownership of Liv (CBD) Buds and Bottles in October 2024. After traveling to countless countries and living in numerous cities, both David and Nicole were ready to settle down to find a place to call home. Currently living in Leland for 3 years, they are a short distance to downtown Wilmington, where they spend a lot of their down time already. Craving a way to build and to be part of a community, purchasing Liv was the opportunity to do just that.

David, hailing from Baltimore, has spent time in Chicago, Las Vegas, Memphis, and most of his time in Los Angeles. Spending most of his life in the service industry, he has opened and worked numerous bars, restaurants, and has even spent time managing casinos. David has held every position in the service industry from dishwasher to management and now can finally add owner to his list of accolades. Dave is an extremely focused, self-driven artist who is always striving to make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. In his downtime, when not hanging out in Wilmington amongst the various breweries, his true passion is art, abstract on canvas is his main passion but he is not afraid to explore more avenues. You can enjoy his art in the shop as you peruse our product.

Nicole currently serves her community as a Physical Therapist in Bolivia but, like David, also has a long history in the service industry. Working as a bar tender for just shy of 2 decades, Nicole appreciates the passion needed to put on a face for the public. Conversely, understanding that pain is not an easy definition, Nicole is excited to offer a whole new line of products to assist patients and her community with a holistic approach to symptom management.
