In recent years there has been an explosion of CBD (cannabidiol) products on the market, often advertised as helpful to people suffering from anxiety and insomnia. Marketing of these products often refers to studies published in medical journals that indicate CBD is of some benefit to people who suffer from anxiety and/or insomnia. Is this marketing based on science or pseudoscience?

While there is scientific evidence to suggest that CBD may have potential benefits for anxiety and insomnia, the marketing of these products often exaggerates or misrepresents the findings of studies. This can blur the line between science and pseudoscience. It is important for consumers to be wary of exaggerated marketing claims and to consult with a healthcare professional before using CBD products for anxiety or insomnia.
