Prepare yourself for an enlightening discussion as we delve into the trending world of CBD. As a practicing physician based in Bristol, I, Dawn, shed light on the intricacies of CBD, distinguishing it from cannabis, and I share my personal insights about why I've opted not to use CBD. We dive into the bigger picture, exploring why CBD has suddenly skyrocketed in popularity, with speculation about various factors such as it being a legal, non-smoking alternative to cannabis, and the possible role of anxiety in its appeal.

We don't stop there, as we further dissect CBD's potential impacts on mental health. We examine the multitude of forms it can take, ranging from edibles like gummies and capsules to topical applications like oils and lotions, and we delve into the potential implications of its high cost. We also highlight the potential risks associated with purchasing CBD, especially when it's bought on installment plans, and acknowledge the fact that some might use CBD recreationally rather than for its medicinal benefits. 

Finally, we dissect the potential effects of CBD on mental health conditions like anxiety and depression. We critically evaluate CBD's effectiveness in comparison to a placebo, and stress the importance of sourcing it from trusted suppliers. We also draw attention to the differences between clinical trials and store-bought CBD, touch on potential negative side effects, and discuss the necessity of correct dosing and medical supervision. We wrap up by emphasizing the need for our listeners to approach the use of CBD for mental health with caution and proper information. So, strap in for an insightful journey into the world of CBD as we aim to equip you with essential insights.
