Experts have attributed CBD oil with everything from reducing anxiety to pain relief – it’s no wonder that it’s one of the most talked-about supplements of 2018.

A survey of Australian black market cannabis extracts found that the most effective products for treating epilepsy had higher amounts of THC than CBD. The power of cannabis to treat otherwise intractable forms of childhood epilepsy has been proven time and time again.

Yesterday, the Senate passed a version of the 2018 Farm Bill that would legalize so-called “industrial hemp” – legislation that has long been a pet project of one of the most powerful men in America, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).

Cannabis reform is coming to Kansas, but there won’t be any dispensaries or grow houses opening up in Topeka or Wichita. Instead of a restrictive medical …
Cannabidiol (CBD) has been the focus of many medical cannabis studies, and continues to prove itself as a powerful anti-inflammatory drug. What makes CBD even more desirable for some patients is that it does not cause the psychoactive effects associated with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). An extremely interesting study (Overcoming the Bell-Shaped Dose-Response of Cannabidiol by using Cannabis Extract Enriched in Cannabidiol) was just published …
A World Health Organization (WHO) report has found no adverse health outcomes but rather several medical applications for cannabidiol, a.k.a. CBD, despite U.S. federal policy on this cannabinoid chemical. According to a preliminary WHO report published last month, naturally occurring CBD is safe and well tolerated in humans (and animals), and is not associated with any negative public health effects [PDF]. Experts further stated that …
A cat, who almost lost all of its nine lives after developing cancer, is purring again due to cannabis oil. Ginge was close to being put down when he developed a large tumour on his paw.
