It can be a complicated world when individuals, families, and professionals want to safely navigate CBD access as we sit in limbo between federal and state laws and regulations. This 4-part podcast/vodcast series helps you explore the facts and can help bust the myths about people with developmental disabilities using therapeutic CBD.
Why should you tune in?
CBD (cannabidiol) is a non-intoxicating and non-psychoactive part of the hemp plant that has been known to provide symptom relief in individuals with disabilities. The therapeutic properties of CBD have been demonstrated and continue to be researched, but due to the discrepancy between state and federal law and regulations, it can be complicated to safely navigate an unregulated market of products and expand access in different settings.
