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.
