I wouldn't be surprised if their sales would either shoot through the roof or plummet (depending on a state's or country's stance). There's already MJ tea being sold, and this wouldn't be a far stretch but I can imagine diabetes and pizza deliveries would skyrocket.

Many folk completely fail to understand that this is not a way of getting high. The health benefits of CBD on even a healthy person are incredible. let alone folk suffering MS, arthritis..etc

Natures miracle cure.

Why not?

No THCs contained and as another poster says - it's nature's very own miracle plant.

It's the caffeine that I'd prefer to avoid.

Lol sure why not - the "Coca" name from Coca-Cola came from cocaine, after all

Coca-Cola was named back in 1886 for its two “medicinal” ingredients: extract of coca leaves and kola nuts. Just how much cocaine was originally in the formulation is hard to determine, but the drink undeniably contained some cocaine in its early days. Not anymore now though

A substance that cures MS or arthritis would be a miracle alright.

My step-mother has really bad arthritis, and uses a cannabis salve on her joints, and while it's not a cure, she said it makes her feel so much better.

You know guys...you don't have to take everything people say to the letter. I never said it cured either of these conditions. I merely stated it was a miracle cure.

It does "cure" many minor conditions.
