Arthritis Foundation Releases First<br />Ever Guidelines for CBD Use.<br />The Arthritis Foundation announced<br />recommendations for consumers who wish to try<br />the cannabis-derived product called CBD. .<br />According to their survey, nearly 80 percent<br />of patients are currently using, have used or<br />are considering CBD for joint pain.<br />In the group’s guidelines, it is suggested that<br />consumers who wish to try CBD start with the<br />lowest dose and track their symptoms over time.<br />They also suggest working with a physician to<br />find reputable CBD products, naming sprays and<br />liquid drops as the best method of administration.<br />The group’s guidelines go on to staunchly advocate<br />against CBD vaping, especially in light of the recent<br />investigation into vaping-linked illnesses. .<br />It is the first set of official guidelines released<br />by a major patient advocacy group, as the<br />FDA has yet to regulate CBD products. .<br />It was important to acknowledge the public's<br />interest, and put out some guidelines on the<br />state of the science … The guidelines are not<br />saying, 'you should try this.' They're saying, 'if<br />you want to try, here's how you should do it.’ , Kevin Boehnke, University of<br />Michigan Researcher, via ‘Today’
