The store shelves are lined with CBD products - gummies, drinks, lotion, even socks and sportswear. They promise to treat everything from anxiety to chronic pain, but does CBD actually work? "CBD, short for cannabidiol, is well promoted by companies producing infused products so many people feel they know what it is and how it can help them. But, there is still a gap between what people know and do not know about CBD," warns Godfrey Pearlson, MD, medical director of Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center at the Institute of Living, part of Hartford HealthCare’s Behavioral Health Network. Dr. Pearlson shares five facts you should know before you reach for the CBD. CBD is not THC. Most often produced in a laboratory or derived from hemp plants, cannabis’s non-psychoactive cousin, CBD does not make users feel high on its own. "CBD is an important ingredient in medical cannabis, but it cannot produce a ‘high’ when taken alone," he says. Nature’s Garden CBD may have health benefits. |
