Project CBD is a California-based nonprofit dedicated to promoting and publicizing research into the medical uses of cannabidiol (CBD) and other components of the cannabis plant. Project CBD provides educational services for physicians, patients, industry professionals, and the general public. Lee said this to NowThis News: “We were the first group, actually to advocate the medical marijuana community in California about CBD. We were involved in introducing CBD, both physically, the plants, and in terms of education to emphasize that there are other options besides the THC orientation the ‘get high’ orientation for medical cannabis.” He said he’s not entirely sure how to feel about CBD’s current popularity, but he emphasizes that cannabis has far more to offer. “CBD, you can kind of think of it as kind of a medical rockstar, but when you really get down into it, it’s the combination of CBD and the other parts of the plant." We expand on what he witnessed on how the perception of CBD changed over the years. As well as What are the main contributors this shift, What other parts of the plant are powerful in combination with CBD, and much more.
