The CBD market is one of the fastest growing markets in the US at the moment and it's an industry that has seen rapid expansion in the past few years.
One of the reasons that a growing number of people have been turning to CBD is because of the increase in news coverage and success stories telling of how more doctors have been treating children with epilepsy by using the CBD oil.
CBD is still misunderstood by many, who believe that the product gets you 'high' in the same way that cannabis does, but you can purchase CBD oil and other CBD products that won't have the THC compound which produces the high. This is why it's been a great option for children and for others who are weary or skeptical about trying cannabis because they are worried about the 'high' they might experience from it.
CBD, also known as Cannabidiol, has been shown to provide remarkable improvement for a variety of health issues for many people and it's no surprise that more are hearing about it and going looking to get their hands on some. The popularity surrounding CBD is one of the things that has been greatly pushing the success of the hemp market in the US and now that market is estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
A study was unveiled not long ago that detailed the findings of the American Epilepsy Society (AES) that CBD is an effective treatment when it comes to combating epilepsy. The findings from that study only add to the belief that CBD is a viable option when it comes to providing remedy for a variety of illnesses.
One recent survey found that roughly half of those who use CBD products will eventually stop taking their traditional medications.
The survey, from Brightfield Group and HelloMD, has been referred to as one of the largest studies to date that has been conducted in order to investigate the reality surrounding CBD usage. The results indicate that women are more likely to try the product than men and that they are also more likely to choose CBD over their traditional medicines once they start using the CBD.
Over 150,000 participants were included and they were asked a variety of questions about their CBD usage, the effectiveness of the CBD, and more.
They found that the most common health issues that people are using CBD to treat are problems like depression, anxiety, insomnia, and joint pain.
About 80 percent of the respondents from the survey said that they found CBD to be extremely effective in helping them to find remedy from their symptoms.
As we continue to see an increase in the amount of scientific literature that strengthens the notion that there are medical qualities that can be derived from CBD, we can expect the popularity around this product to continue.

CBD and Cannabis will be the future of medicine, and crypto will be the future of currency. CBD is doing wonderful things. Thats one of the reasons its currently illegal in most places. Great article.
I love CBD's! They make me feel incredible. You can buy them legally online here:
www.phytodabs.com
I heard that too, because of legality the cannabis businesses are booming and you can pay online you just pay the seller thru Metal MTL one of the crypto - ICO coin dealing with this project.
It's fantastic to see anything cannabis related doing good. I can't stand it being illegal when things like alcohol and cigarettes are legal.
Was only a matter of time, the media and big pharma only had so long talking people into fake, man made pills that no one knows what is in them is better than GOD MADE plants that have tons of benefits. Not a cannabis user myself but I am amazed of all the advancements in medicine it is making!
Important information this Post serves all this community
Thanks for the explanation. I've bought a few edibles with CBD mixed in. I personally like straight THC better. But the benefits of CBD in medical treatment is very interesting. I'll stick to THC for my Glaucoma ;-P
SADLY not "allowed" in norway.. but intake everyday... Amazing medicine <3
dabs!
Things like cryptocurrencies, cbd oil and Steemit are changing the corrupt system - more and more people are waling up to the fact that we live in a broken, corrupt system and are opting out of the old way and adopting these new initiatives! I say WELL DONE!
I actually learned quite a bit from this article. I had no clue that THC was missing from CBD oil. That makes a huge difference for those scared of the effects the oil might have on them. I wonder if the oil would show up on a drug screening or is that just the THC?
I'm all for natural and homeopathic remedies/treatments as an initial attempt and foregoing the pharmaceutical world if at all possible. You just know Big Phar has their panties in a big ole bunch over this.
Drugs should not be illegal.
You only have to see the high mortality rates of people overdosing on prescription medication to realise that is not the solution.. so glad the slowly society is realising the benefits of cannabis oil for medical treatment..
Good,less money for those abusers of the pharmaceutical industry.
Yet Conservative Morons can't seem to grasp that its no pyschoactive, wonderful plant has brought me so much joy and comfort
Crazy how even something like CBD that barely gets you high is marginalized... or hemp used for building for that matter. Great article!
It just goes to show that truth will come out and the real benefits are showing. Regulators are just to be educated and as awareness are exploding then we are going to see this medicine going mainstream.
Great post and i've heard of a few people going on about how beneficial it can be for our health.I suffered a heart attack 2 years ago and i'd be very interested to see if I would benefit from taking it.
Important stuff. I'm actually growing a high-CBD experimental hemp crop this year. Look for a post-harvest report in the fall and, quite possibly, some CBD products available for purchase with Steem!
Great article, hope to see more research and scientific contribution from various universities and biotech companies. This is a great field to be, but a lot of unknowns out there, like in growing, in extracting, and in unknown health (side) effects. Thanks for bringing the cannabidiol subject on, would like to see more awareness in the public.
Que interesante. Tengo u familiar que está empezando a utilizar CBD para su tratamiento de epilepsia y le está cayendo de maravilla. Saludos desde venezuela.
Why do women wear plaster on their belly?
I have often noticed that women wanting to lose weight do very crazy things, such as putting plaster on a belly, but what they do not know is the damage that can cause, immobilizing the spine due to the plaster they have to Placing usually there is a decrease in abdominal fat and also the muscles perform muscle hypotrophy.
After that come the problems the most frequent are low back pain, instability and abdominal pain
Remember not to do this and if you want to lose weight do not do it with plaster, try sports and a balanced diet and remember to strengthen the abdominal area

That's something great....
Green, like the markets...... makes people happy.
I am so tired I cannot even type again LOL.
Nite friend.
I grow THC dominant strains but have personally seen the CBD market EXPLODE this year. There are some loopholes with CBD that make it easier to grow legally where I live than traditional cannabis. Great times to be in the biz and to see the plant be accepted like we always wanted.
Traditional medicine destroys the kidney and so much more. Medical marijuana should be legalized here too in the Philippines so that many will benefit from it. There was a petition about it but never followed where it is currently.
Not going there just yet. It just seems like another way to dumb down the masses. Just sayin! 🐓🐓
It is unfortunate that many countries are positioning marijuana as narcotics, thanks for sharing, very interesting
