CBD has been credited with largely helping to fuel the success of the industrial hemp market at the moment and smoke shop owners say that the product continues to fly off the shelves.
There are many people using this product to address a myriad of health issues; some use it for their cancer symptoms, others for their epilepsy, diabetes, colitis, arthritis, PTSD, anxiety, or other specific struggle.
Those who use CBD admit that it's helped to tremendously improve their standard of living, that it enables them to function normally whereas otherwise if they didn't have it, they would likely be bed-ridden and have much worse symptoms. It would dramatically lower their quality of life.
The reason that so many have been open to trying CBD and perhaps not cannabis is because you can obtain CBD without the psychoactive THC chemical that fuels the 'high' experience. This makes it an appealing entrance product to the cannabis market for those who might otherwise have turned their nose up at it.
destigmatizing cannabis...
Because of the confusion surrounding hemp, cannabis, and CBD etc, there are many lawmakers and others in authority who want to crackdown on the product and ramp-up confiscations.
However, they would be doing so to the detriment of a lot of people and leaving them with options that arguably pose much more of a risk to their health.
Sometimes it gets destroyed even before they've bothered to test it, they just jump to destroying it.
There is little doubt that the time and energy that officers and lawmakers spend on trying to police this product would surely be better spent on other endeavors.
Thanks to the growing popularity for the product, there has been a wide variety of cbd-related products that have come to market in recent years. You can now find cbd oil, cbd gum, skin care products, topical creams, coffee pods, and much more.
Now that there are so many people who are looking to enter this market as well, it's prompting companies to get very creative and unique with their marketing, branding, and packaging efforts.
But as the popularity for the product has surged, so too has the availability of low-quality products that claim to contain CBD which don't end-up living up to the hype they promise with their marketing. It's up to the consumer to find a brand that they trust, one that they find works for their own individual circumstances.
There is a lot of education still to do when it comes to relaying the potential benefits of things like cbd, hemp, and cannabis, to the masses. And in trying to convince lawmakers that they should respect the right of people to consume and use this product. Thankfully though, there are a lot of people who are dedicated to pursuing that effort; trying to erode the many years of propaganda that has tainted the conversation and fueled a negative mindset in the eyes of many toward a natural product.

CBD seems to be extremely helpful for autism and significantly less costly than conventional medicines.
My biggest issue right now with the marketing of CBD is that the industrial Hemp CBD is being marketed like it is it's cousin Cannabis aka marijuana. For those who doesn't understand the difference that is reading this comment. Think of it this way, Hemp CBD is like a vitamin where as it's cousin is a medicine. This is my biggest pet peeve of all these hype on CBD, because it is the Hemp CBD that is really being sold every where. Only in legal states can you get the Cannabis CBD oil, legally anyways.
CBD has so many benefits, reduces inflammation and pain, helps with anxiety and neurological issues...and gee whiz...it is an extract of a natural plant that you can grow right here on earth.
This isn't profitable though. No, not enough profits for big pharma. We need to get the government involved, etc. etc.
Bummer so much collusion goes on at the top...and that they have to invent these battles with naturally occurring plants in order to keep them down, and instead pump pills and painkillers through every corner doctor's office.
Maybe one day we can get it right...
A good medication, finally the world is coming to it's senses about Cannabis.
I even did not know that CBD is so good for health, thank you for such a useful information.
Disown the generalities of the use of the CBD, so it can be seen is a very good product and necessary for the health of many people, it would be convenient that legislators deepen the knowledge and the differences that exist between hemp, cannabis and CBD .
Thank you very much dear friend @doitvoluntarily for sharing all this information
I wish you a great day
in other words, the cannabis family ✌
Thank you very much dear friend @baah for all this technical specification, it is always good to acquire knowledge.
I wish you a great day
I'm so happy to see how the 'mainstream' is sloowly starting to understand that cannibis isn't danger substance at all
but sad to see that south korea or any asia country is completely against it
CBD will take it place finally, this will take medication world to another level
Free CBD!
Very good article about marijuana. It is interesting to keep abreast of the cannabis plant. Plants are very useful for health if used as needed. Thank you very much for sharing knowledge @doitvoluntarily.
Really cool article and very insightful, how do you feel about hempcoin THC,?
The hemp market through cbd is crashing the foolishness that still remains about the beauty of both species of this incredible life giving plant.

The company which I get my essential oils, just made this new cannabis essential oil which like you said is without the psychoactive THC chemical that gives you that high experience. I just started using it and the stories that I hear about this oils are amazing, and there are high demands for this specific oil.
Just wonderful post sir@doitvoluntarily. Thanks for Sharing us
@upvoted
My 2 year old daughter experiences frequent seizures and one local neurologist suggested recent studies have found a 50% reduction in seizure freauency and duration, for 50% of participants, needless to say we are interested. Unfortunately in Canada, its not legal or accesible.
We can get it from the USA but its sketchy bringing it across the border today.
Right now because she has alternatives that can work we haven't forced the issue but we will revisit the issue when/if we can no longer control her seizure activity.
Ugh laws...
CBD seems to be extremely helpful for autism
just saw this news today, Sun Life Financial to add medical marijuana option to group benefits ...another step forward...
Thanks to the internet and all other ways of gathering info and education, I am sure that people will get more and more aware about benefits of cannabis oil.
I see that you promote it often, which will help to raise awareness too :)
CBD has been extremely helpful for me. Thank you for writing about it.
CBD has been extremely helpful for me...thanks for sharing...
You are so correct when you say more education is required, each has their own benefits. Here in Australia the powers that be have only just legalised the consumption of hemp (excellent source of protein and essential fatty acids)
They passed a token law to allow cbd but the fine print is ridiculous. Apparently the hoops you have to jump through are complicated and hard and basically one has to be terminal to be considered. One parent was giving their child small doses which helped reduce seizures dramatically but the authorities found out and took the child - can you believe it!
Big pharma and population ignorance has a lot to answer for.
CBD does wonders for my pain. It actually is the only legal compound of cannabis in EU, and that's boosted the market of so called "light weed" in Switzerland and Italy... basically people are paying 7-8 EUR a gram of hemp in a headshop, cause real cannabis is in such shortage or they're afraid of dealers, that it's become a viable alternative :)
It's about time!! It's legal in 50 states. It heals, helps, fixes, and cures. It doesn't get you "high."
I'm still frustrated that google adwords and facebook ads won't accept anything to do with CBD ads.
CBD is helpful. I use nutraceauticals hemp paste. It is great stuff and I sell their products now :)
This is so awesome CBD is so helpful for so many people and it costs less then the expensive big pharma drugs !! thanks for sharing @doitvoluntarily !! Upped and resteemed ! 😀👍👍👍✌💕
Also thanks for your awesome 5.00 SD donation for my #popcontest ! I will add it to next weeks prizes making them bigger !!💕✌👍😀
for every pro there is a con and vice versa. Sometimes simply letting people do what they want to them self is best choice. It's been medicine for all almost cultures for since forever. When science breaks it down and analyses it to the core all things will see hardships.
I think this is a better path than most popular choices even with the side effects. All choices have side effects.
Law surrounding CBD oil priority of interesting information.
Hemp, Inc. CBD!
