In what will be the first of many, the World Health Organization wrote during a brief Q&A about CBD oil, and how it shouldn’t be treated the same as cannabis products, specifically those derived from cannabis plants above .3% THC by volume. The article went further to say that there have been some early benefits that have been seen in peer reviewed journals like the New England Journal of Medicine. It is great to see prominent organizations like the WHO stating what many in the industry have known for decades.
