Should you start taking CBD as a patient?

Updated: May 18, 2020

CBD is most certainly the golden child in the Cannabis revolution. It is one of the hottest trending searches on google, it is being lauded by many as the cure-all for several medical conditions and it will soon be the next treat that even your dog will be chomping on.

"By itself, it does not cause a high and it exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential"


To explore this, let's first refer to Harvard Health for an overview of what CBD actually is. CBD stands for Cannabidiol and it is the second most prevalent active ingredient of cannabis. By itself, it does not cause a high and it exhibits no effects indicative of any abuse or dependence potential. Also, to date, there is no evidence of public health-related problems associated with the use of pure CBD.

Already, research has proven that CBD is effective in treating some epilepsy syndromes that typically do not respond to anti-seizure medications. Also, there is emerging research about the application for CBD to be used to treat pain, reduce anxiety, combat insomnia, promote recovery, and assist general well-being through the possible anti-inflammatory benefits.


When reading the above, it is no wonder why we are in the midst of a CBD revolution that is sweeping across the planet. However, there are generally two sides to a topic and there is certainly a ton of controversy that surrounds this misunderstood plant particularly when looking at the possible uses and applications in healthcare.

One of the main arguments against the use of CBD in healthcare results from the unsubstituted claims that have been associated with reported use of different Cannabinoids that includes CBD. Another key factor that has contributed to the conundrum that exists about CBD is a direct result of an oversaturated market that has poor quality products readily available for patients like yourself that simply want to feel your best. Lastly, there is a lack of general education about CBD and this knowledge gap is not only evident across your community but is unfortunately present in many clinics, hospitals and consulting rooms where you and your loved ones sit to learn about the fate of your health.



While many critics proclaim that CBD is a fad that will pass, we believe that the cannabis revolution is just beginning and that we will again return to the time when every family has a type of cannabinoid product in their home to promote health or treat a whole range of different ailments that they may experience.
