Apologies. I thought it was the same person.

However you are wrong that a $600/month otc treatmnet is not realistic. It's certainly not ideal, it's certainly out of the financial range of many people. .

And certainly there are people right now spending $600/month for CBD because it works.

Prices will definitely come down, and I agree they "need" to. I suspect we will have synthesized CBD quite soon). Minus the black market, and then minus the hype, and then plus the increase in production, prices have a long way to go down.

Yes, it is expensive. I don't know what to tell you other than you are wrong. If you look at your own statements, you will see you stated unequivocally that CBD isn't effective.

Now you are backpedaling saying its expensive. Yes, it is expensive. And I promise you it's not hard to see that it absolutely works for some people. If you understood how well cannibinoids fit into our brains, this may not surprise you.

Having looked into pricing and done quite a bit of research, the cheapest I have seen for pills is 50c for 25mg. But this is still $600/month for a 1000mg dose.

I think most people are taking less than this. But still 300-600mg is expensive. But, its not much more expensive that other "mediciine" that needs to be taken every day.

The legal definition (I believe) is split by THC concentrations.

Agreed but the government is to blame for a lot of this. People are super thirsty for CBD, it is very effective for many people. Especially elderly people that have been anti-pot most of their lives.

These people don't have any good ways of making good buying decisions, let a lone having a regulatory body to rely on to test this stuff. So they just choose stuff with good marketing and high concentrations.

Not to say your article isn't making a good point -- just that these nasty companies being successful is due to a vacuum created by decades of complete head-up-our-own-ass marijuana policy.

Hemp (according to the FDA[1]) is just cannabis with very low THC. It can look nearly identical to "marijuana". Hemp is to marijuana as Dachsunds are to Golden Retrievers.

Super "dank" CDB plants already exist (see "Ringo's Gift"). Its not a stretch to get them under .3% thc.
