CBD: Does It Work? Unbiased Facts You Should Know

By Joe Cannon 5 Comments

Does CD work? What does it help? Is it a supplement? Is it legal and how can you find a quality CBD product? In this episode of the Joe Cannon Health Podcast, I tackle cannabidiol (CBD)- the popular cannabinoid in hemp and marihuana-  to help you better understand it. I've read the research and will help you sort fact from fiction. No spin. No hype. This is what the research says – and doesn’t say. Do you need it and what do you need to watch out for?

      Hi Sandy, I’ve heard good things about Charlottes Web CBD and blue bird botanicals cbd. I have a friend who has said good things about CBD Distillary products.

      The research is still ongoing with CBD. One thing I’d say is if you have tinnitus (ringing in your ears) be careful with CBD. Some people have told me CBD made their tinnitus worse. There’s some research on this too.

      Here are some things I wrote on CBD

      If you try a product let me know what you think.

    […] Update: 12/2/19. Tinnitus is a health issue I've been dealing with for several years. Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most popular alternative treatments for a variety of health issues.

After reading this, I think you will agree, it may not just be a waste of money  -it may be much worse. Read the other tinnitus reviews in this series for more insights. Here's my podcast on CBD research and side effects.   […]
