While doing research on cannabis for sciatica, I noticed that a lot of online vendors who sell CBD products hail this isolated cannabinoid as the best possible cannabis solution for the condition. While there is truth to their claims, cannabidiol isn’t the only compound from cannabis that is able to alleviate sciatica symptoms. Quite the contrary, the only official study that was ever performed on sciatica sufferers was with isolated THC.

A few years ago, CBD was just an obscure health product with almost no research beyond anecdotal reports. Now, this cannabinoid found in both hemp and marijuana (to different degrees) is a household name. But with popularity comes embellishment.

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.
