So what’s the big deal with CBD – otherwise known as cannabis oil?
There’s no denying the cannabis oil market has expanded massively in the last 12 months. Where once it was for the select few, it’s now reaching more people than ever.
In the UK, CBD needs to be sold as a food supplement. This means sellers can’t make any medical claims about its use, despite a growing number of media reports detailing CBD being used in the treatment of everything from sciatica to anxiety.
This also means that medical professionals are given very little information about CBD, what it is and how it could be used.
It has been estimated by the Cannabis Trades Association that the UK now has around 250,000 active CBD users, and of the 1,000 new users signing up every month, about 50 percent will stick with it.
A study released in America last week showed how more than 70% of cannabidiol extracts sold online were mislabelled.
