Hi there and welcome back to the podcast Matt Walker here and welcome back to the the much requested series on sleep, cannabis, THC and CBD.

That is the CBD. So what does CBD do for the body and the brain? Well, CBD has been studied for its possible

role in treating various conditions, including anxiety, movement disorders as well as pain and also as well as addiction.
