What is cannabidiol?

If you’ve been visiting health stores or websites recently, you’ve probably seen advertisements for cannabidiol (CBD) at some stage, but what is cannabidiol?

There is no shortage of claims made by some companies, particularly in the dietary supplement industry – but getting a prescription from a doctor for a CBD medicinal preparation, rather than a food supplement can require the patience and tenacity that most mere mortals don’t have. This article will take a brief look at what is cannabidiol, why it’s so popular, its potential, and why it isn’t as easy to obtain as many think it should be.

Sativa Group Plc (NEX:SATI) is the UK’s leading quoted CBD Wellness and medicinal cannabis group with five operating subsidiaries.
