Benefits and Fears of CBD Health Supplements
There Have Been Multiple Perspectives on Benefits vs. Fears of CBD Health Supplements
As many of us have seen throughout 2016, commercials and advertisements for the benefits of CBD health supplements were apparently growing. However, there were several limitations not revealed with these promotions. Limitations and legal warnings that would be very important to the American public being told only of the potential benefits of these cannabis-based supplements.
CBD, cannabidiol, is one of the latest promotions in health supplements based upon marijuana. While the inclusion of actual marijuana in the fight against the side effects of chemotherapy and THC or other marijuana for the treatment of glaucoma. Somehow this product became the hit of the moment all over American television without any word that it was not FDA-approved or that it was produced from cannabis.
Where Do We Go Next?
Even though the FDA denial had gone through in 2015, there were a number of CBD commercials and promotions making their way across television, internet and other media all throughout 2016. With the long list of health benefits that were supposedly available from this supplement there were supposedly a great number of benefits in working as a natural medication for needs such as anticonvulsant, anti-depressant, anti-inflammatory, antipsychotic and many more.
Therefore, a number of considerations must be made for the people who were told this natural supplement could be used to help replace chemical medications prescribed by doctors. While the FDA has not approved this supplement for medical use, there needs to be much more medical research completed and approval gained before the American people can rely on an item such as this one which supposedly promotes the inclusion of medical marijuana in everyday life.
I know that with the many benefits found so far where cannabis can assist in the treatment of many ailments, we need to come together in the standards set for its use. I know that many issues arising from the financial value of marijuana legalization along with the mismanagement of its placement in society continue the delay of its medical use. Especially the way its medical use could help to manage much more natural treatments for some people who suffer dangerous side effects from strong prescription medications.
