Abstract

There are also mixed results when it comes to studies looking at the use of CBD for treating pain associated with arthritis, and while CBD may help ease pain linked to fibromyalgia, it appears to provide the most relief when THC is also present. A 2021 analysis by cannabis market research firm Brightfield Group noted that, even with just one CBD-based drug available in the US, CBD pharmaceutical sales were worth $470 million in 2020. If you only want CBD, look for the terms "CBD isolate" and avoid "full spectrum" or "broad spectrum", which can include other cannabinoids. In many countries, researchers are barred from testing real-world CBD products for medical purposes, relying instead on CBD samples with origins and purity guaranteed by their government.
