Indeed, the limited amount of scientific research and evidence has been a thorn in CBD's side, and it's one of the main reasons a lot of people shy away from the product. However, there may be a reprieve for those who turn to CBD for their medical needs. The Center for Medical Cannabis Research (CMCR)…

CBD Oil Social Event Hosted in Birmingham

Ever since cannabidiol (CBD) was legalized in Alabama, CBD shops and social events have been popping up like weeds all over the state. Most of them are geared at destigmatizing CBD and pushing their products. On Monday, HempWorx hosted its social event in Jefferson County, and people were invited to come learn all about CBD (and purchase a product or two). One of the main problems CBD has faced is its continued association with its psychoactive cousin THC. Despite cannabidiol having no psychotropic effects, the two are often lumped together. Thus, the negative light in which THC is usually cast…
