The use of Cannabidiol (CBD) as medication was first approved by the FDA two years ago to treat childhood seizures. Most Americans now use this as an anti-inflammatory, anti-anxiety, and anti-insomnia drug.
CBD continues to show potential as an alternative - or even primary - medication or treatment for various ailments. More studies are needed to verify.
Is CBD safe?
This is a question asked by most people curious about this form of treatment. Let’s learn about that in this episode as Kandice Hawes of OCNORML talks about the continuously growing interest in cannabis and how their nonprofit provides a network and welcoming space for both businesses and consumers that advocate for its use.

Important Points:
- Growing up in American culture, we were taught that marijuana is a sin but looking at its potential positive benefits, medical marijuana can be used in treating pain, anxiety, and insomnia
- The cannabis industry, especially medical cannabis and CBD, is in its early phases of scientific research. This means that we don't have a dose to recommend for right now.
- Many folks are just starting CBD at a very low dose. And then they're titrating up very slowly. It's done that way mainly for safety reasons.
- Nobody dies from Cannabis.
- Smoking is not the best way to use cannabis, but for some people that need immediate relief, smoking or inhalation cannabis is the mode of choice.
- There are patches that can stick to your skin for 24 hours and deliver you cannabidiol throughout the day.
