Scott Lueb is the CBD Educator with the Pharmhaus in Sattler. What is CBD (Cannabidiol)? How does it work? What does it do? Is it safe for pets and kids? How will I feel after I take it? And other top general questions about CBD.ml.org.

BACKGROUND
CBD oil has been the star of 2018, at least when it comes to health (and beauty, for that matter). And the pandemonium is warranted. The natural, holistic remedy has real medicinal use spanning from stopping seizures to alleviating anxiety and helping insomniacs get some much-needed rest—with little to no side effects, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

It’s still early days of CBD research (particularly in the U.S.); government regulations have prohibited much scientific research and funding when it comes to CBD as medicine in the past few decades. However, what has been researched and proven is pretty incredible—and thanks to changing laws, more is coming.
