Pop Culture Says CBD Cures Everything--Here's What Scientists Say

" Pop Culture Says CBD Cures Everything"

I found this article on the Gale OneFile database. I found this topic to be a fascinating one, since it's relevance these days to the ongoing approval of Marijuana and like substances being accepted across the United States and beyond. Searching for this type of article wasn't hard to do, there are many available.

This article taught me about our ever changing culture in the search for "alternative medicine". CBD products are sold in virtually every corner store of every town in America. The ongoing scientific studies versus the every day person claiming it's true healing power. The Food & Drug administrations involvement in the development and approval process is far behind the rest of the world.

I found this article to quite informative and eye opening. I was unaware of just how much this product has exploded across the country in the last 3 years. I also learned about it's many uses to include helping with Sleep, Anxiety, and General Pain. The approval process with the FDA, and more. The thousands of case studies currently underway and the scientific evidence on all ends to either prove or disapprove it's benefits. This is a very interesting read, and very informative.
