markham, this article made no sense to me but maybe i’m missing something? The issues I had were:
- CBD is legal is all fifty states (and most counties) so there’s no longer an access problem.
- There was a claim that somehow this product was “better” because “In trials, we’ve been looking at a purified CBD compound, not an extract of cannabis.” That sounds dubious for a couple reasons. First, what does “purified” even mean and why must this industrial sounding process be undertaken. Also what is wrong with extracting it from Cannabis? It’s a natural source. Sounds like a way to play on the fears of yesterday’s propaganda than a meaningful benefit. Finally, although a lot has yet to be “proved”, the Cannabis industry is in fact moving away from pure CBD (called an isolate and available for years in retail), and toward blends of canabanoids as this blends appears to have greater effect. This “full spectrum” CBD benefits from what is known as “entourage effect” and for most users provides higher value while still providing no psychotropic effects.
In this ever changing world we must beware of charlatans. The scheme of making something “official” and then finding a highly capitalized structure (aka, insurance companies) to offset consumer prices is an old trick we need to crack down on. I’m not saying that’s what this is but i am saying it sounds like it. If i’m mistaken i’d love to gain some of you insight into what this product provides.
