@lisalucier, and others with questions about CBD. Here are the never, never, rules for CBD. And I am only speaking of medical cannabis with THC. 1. Don't use any medical cannabis on an empty tummy. 2. Don't mix medical cannabis with alcohol including right before and right after. There are no real side effects of CBD. The best results and pain relief are when THC is used in concert with CBD. Right now there is almost a panacea of CBD products on the market that are supposed to fix everything.

To your other issue...regulation. I am an advocate of total legalization because it ensures that the products you purchase from a licensed dispensary have been through a standardized regulation process. I was in California during the introduction of recreational products. It was a mixed-up world for months. The implementation of regulations required many products to be returned more than once for better labeling or consistent amounts of ingredients.
