This time around, we’re joined by Jessica Wynn ! Full show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1197 On This Week's Skeptical Sunday: Cannabis-sourced cannabidiol (CBD) is widely marketed as a safe cure-all, but most claims — especially for chronic pain, anxiety, and sleep — lack solid scientific backing. The CBD industry is poorly regulated — products may be mislabeled, contaminated, or contain THC, which can cause legal or workplace issues. The only FDA-approved medical use of CBD is Epidiolex, a prescription drug for rare childhood epilepsy — not the casual oils, gummies, or lattes sold in stores. Dosage, purity, and method of use all matter — yet most over-the-counter CBD products provide far lower doses than those shown effective in clinical trials. If you choose to use CBD products, be an informed consumer — look for third-party lab certificates (COAs), consult your doctor if you take medications, and approach packaging claims with curiosity and skepticism.
