The Claim

"Cures anxiety, epilepsy, cancer, pain, insomnia, inflammation, and everything else"

Reality

Strong evidence for certain epilepsy types (FDA-approved Epidiolex). Moderate evidence for some pain and anxiety. But most marketed CBD products are under-dosed, poorly regulated, and wildly over-promised.

Details

  • •Epidiolex (pharmaceutical CBD): proven effective for Dravet and Lennox-Gastaut syndromes
  • •OTC CBD products: wildly inconsistent studies find many contain less CBD than labeled
  • •Anxiety evidence: moderate from small studies, typically at 300-600mg doses
  • •Most gummies/tinctures contain 10-25mg far below studied therapeutic doses
  • •Cancer cure claims: zero clinical evidence in humans
  • •Drug interactions are real CBD inhibits cytochrome P450 enzymes

✓ What Actually Works

For anxiety: ashwagandha, lavender (Silexan), and passionflower have comparable evidence at standard doses. For pain: Boswellia, turmeric with piperine, and topical capsaicin. For epilepsy: pharmaceutical CBD under medical supervision.
