The conversation around medicinal cannabis has transformed significantly over the past decade. In Australia, cannabidiol, or ‘CBD’ is a prescription-only treatment, meaning it can only be legally accessed with authorisation from a medical practitioner. But as CBD has become more accessible to those who need it, the saturation of available products claiming to contain CBD, from skincare to pet foods, has left many feeling confused, or unsure who and what to trust. In today’s deep dive, we’re speaking with an expert to unpack what CBD actually is, the common myths around it, and how it’s being used in clinical settings today.
