Maybe not.

Is it the same REM effects as you get with antidepressants?

Not clear.

It's murky.

The literature is murky.

You got to remember, until very recently, researchers were almost not even allowed to study it because it was a scheduled substance and it was federally illegal.

So anyone who takes federal money for research, and again, NIH is the lifeblood of all research,

you were essentially forbidden from even studying it.

Now we can sort of start and that work is being done.

Canada started it because they legalized it first.

So they're actually doing a lot of really great THC research up there.

watch the space next 10 years.

I think more stuff is going to come out.

CBD?

Much more murky of a story.

CBD is, is a legit molecule, especially in terms of the things that it does.

But the sleep data from CBD are extremely murky.

Um, about, about half the studies that have used CBD have shown that it could benefit sleep.

Um, the other half don't.

Some of them actually show that it makes sleep worse.
