There's some of these like random orphan receptors that we don't know a lot of what they do that CBD might interact with. But like the concentrations you need to hit those are reasonable. And you're not getting that in the blood and certainly not in the brain of people from consuming incredibly low doses of CBD. So the whole market that exists for CBD to me is a little bizarre.

And I think for a lot of us in the cannabis field, this has been one of the most bizarre social experiments we've ever watched. Because if you asked me in 2010 to walk into a room and ask How many people knew what CBD is? Like maybe one out of a hundred. Like no one knew what CBD was.

And now it's like 80 to 90% would know what it is because everyone – you can't walk down a street in any city in North America and not see CBD products, whether it's some kind of cream or like – a shake or some random concoction that people have added CBD because now it's going to – you're saying the energy drinks.

It's bizarre to me how much this has taken off because it seems to have somehow migrated into being a health product in some capacity.

Yeah. I mean, again, I think from my point of view, it's an ethical thing as well, because this isn't covered by insurance. People are spending their own money on this. And so I find it really challenging to recommend someone to be spending what can... I mean, especially if you're talking about an actual clinical dose.

I mean, for someone to take CBD at the level where it could actually be shown to have some benefit in some condition, of which currently it really is just pediatric epilepsy. Like, This idea with sleep, pain, anxiety, there's not a lot of super conclusive data. I'd say most of the trials that have been done have not found really good evidence of benefit in any capacity.

So it makes it very challenging to recommend this in any capacity, especially, I mean, if someone, if finances aren't an issue, sure, go for it. But, you know, I understand people are, like you say, looking for solutions. It doesn't sound like CBD is the solution. I am not convinced by the data that exists that it's really doing what a lot of people claim it's doing.

It's a great study of the placebo effect.
