Dear Wondering,

Thank you for your question. We have been getting a lot of questions about the CBD oil advertised on the internet. You are right to be concerned.

The cannabis plant, and everything in it, is illegal under federal law. And even in states where it is legal, it is not legal to ship cannabis products from state to state, or to leave the state with such a product.

The CBD oils that are advertised online and that say they are legal to ship to non-medical cannabis states, are not made from the same type of cannabis plant as the CBD products in medical cannabis states.

CBD is not the joy juice potheads are looking to get a kick from.

CBD is considered to have a wide scope of potential medical applications - due to clinical reports showing the lack of side effects, particularly a lack of psychoactivity

there is no testing required to confirm that the CBD product has the amount of CBD in it that the makers claim. But this lack of testing goes beyond just inaccurate levels of CBD. The process of extracting CBD from such a large amount of plant matter requires the use of harsh chemicals. The more plant matter needed to extract the CBD, the higher the likelihood that some of those chemicals remain in the product. This is worrisome when giving the product to someone with an illness.

But, CBD also has amazing potential when the product is created from the cannabis indica or sativa varieties with the proper extraction processes. A recent study from Israel showed that CBD in its natural form as a whole plant extract is superior over a single, synthetic CBD compound for treating illness. The plant has continually outperformed synthetic versions in research studies.

You might note that the underlined "synthetic versions" refer to sloppy legal preparations from industrial hemp rather than the biologic sativa product sold in Canada by GW Pharmaceuticals to treat the spasms of multiple sclerosis.

If you live in America and have MS, your fine government will allow you to purchase a sloppy, dubious, probably poisoned CBD but not a carefully researched drug manufactured to pharmaceutical standards.

Donald Trump is hardly the only lunatic ignoramus trying to be elected to run your government. Others are already in control of matters.

Best, Terry
