    A Drug Derived From Marijuana Has Become The First To Win Federal Approval, And Experts Predict An Avalanche Effect

    I'm not a huge fan of this, one because this will likely be outrageously expensive

    And two, because,


    So we could be looking at a situation where CBD oil will only available by prescription with only outrageously expensive name brands available

    CBD can be extracted from hemp with some home-kitchen chemistry . We happen to have hemp growing wild
    around here . I've had a go at it . It's weird how hippies are so duped by Babylon - 'doped' .

    Marijuana is a threat to the pharmaceutical monopoly. It's a drug that one could grow in their yard. It has very little side effects compared to prescription meds and it works.

    So why would you pay the outrageous (in America) prices for 5 prescriptions when one plant works? You only need 3 of them the other 2 are to counter side effects of the 3.

    This is why until they get a piece of the pie it's reefer madness and why in several legal states it is illegal to grow your own. There needs to be a gate and they are the keeper.

    I just saw CBD sparkling water at a convenience store for $3.99 I kid you not. 15 minute fast acting and it really works to mellow you da fook out.

    So many stores selling CBD without knowing that it is illegal to do so.
