They're trying to pretend it's anything other than whole plant cannabis that has been put into solvent and made into a spray...but that's what it is.

It's a less potent version of Rick Simpson's oil.

And it's currently legal for certain conditions (MS, PTSD, epilepsy, etc.) in Canada, GB, Germany, Spain and Israel.

Spain is the location of some of the most amazing research into the use of the CBD cannabinoids to shrink brain tumors. They've done one small test on humans whose cancers were beyond stopping and, even in those, CBD, applied to the site of the tumor, shrunk those tumors.
