CBD is still unregulated, which is good for companies looking to cash in on its popularity. But what actually works?
Cannabidiol’s rise to prominence has been unprecedented. One day no one knew what it was and the next we all had at least one wellness product containing CBD in our bathrooms. While these fads and trends tend to be little more than smoke and mirrors, research and anecdotal evidence say that CBD is legitimate, helping people cope with a variety of symptoms.
While there are some really great CBD products, there are hundreds that are just using the compound for marketing purposes. Lack of regulations complicate things further, giving companies plenty of openings that allow them to take advantage of your lack of knowledge. Don’t fall in their trap; learn about CBD and get to know the brands that are making the products you want.
