We ask because these days, it seems to be everywhere: major companies are making and carrying CBD products, and its even showing up in beauty products, muscle rubs, supplements and food. Analysts project the CBD industry will be worth more than $20 billion by 2022, according to Time magazine. CBD and THC are both extracted from cannabis sativa, but they have different effects, McGeorge pointed out in a recent report. Experience and research with CBD is many decades behind compounds that were identified at a similar time. A 2017 study found that 26% and 43% of CBD products that were tested had lower and higher amounts of the compound, respectively, than were listed on their labels, the article said.

Most CBD users will not have trouble passing a drug test, U.S. Drug Test Centers says. If the CBD does not also contain THC, it is not restricted the same way products that contain THC are. No other CBD drug products have gotten approval. As mentioned above, without THC, CBD is available at countless places in person and online. If you're considering using CBD, consult with a licensed medical professional who can help you assess if the decision to use CBD is best for you.
