Summary

The buzz: '[CBD] is a Disneyland for a pharmacologist. There are so many possible mechanisms, so many possible ways it can be useful' (Francisco Guimaraes, Brazil pharmacologist, www.washingtonpost.com). According to board-certified physician and nutritionist Eddie Fatakhov, M.D., “Cannabidiol is quickly becoming a household name better known as CBD. This marijuana plant-derived, non-psychoactive, natural remedy is being adapted to treat a wide variety of ailments from anxiety and pain to various seizure disorders.” We have so many questions: Is CBD Legal? Is it safe? Does CBD get you “high”? Can CBD calm anxiety, cure cancer, eliminate epileptic seizures and give insomniacs a full night’s sleep? We'll ask four experts about CBD fact vs. fiction and their predictions for its future: Eddie Fatakhov, MD, Autumn Shelton at Autumn Brands, and Karl Wes Young, WeSparkLabs. Join us for A-B-C-D – CBD: Miracle Med, Dubious Drug or Wishful Woo-Woo?

0:51.1	this is a lead into our topic today. I have a quote here from Francisco Guadermaris, a pharmacologist at the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil. He says, CBD is a Disneyland for a pharmacologist. There are so many possible mechanisms, so many possible ways it can be useful.
