CBD Health & Wellness reports on cannabidiol and the wider family of cannabinoids — the science, the research, the regulation, and the industry that has grown around them.
We began in 2018 as a print magazine, at a point when serious reporting on CBD barely existed and the market was expanding faster than anyone could document it. Eleven issues were produced and distributed to laboratories, extraction facilities and industry professionals internationally. Those issues remain available in our magazine archive.
Today we publish online, with an archive of more than four hundred articles covering cannabinoid science, health research, regulation, product development and the business of the sector.
How we approach the subject
CBD is unusual in how far its marketing has outrun its evidence. A great deal of what is written about it either overstates what research has established or dismisses the field entirely. Neither serves a reader trying to make a decision.
Our standard is straightforward. Where evidence is strong, we say so. Where it is preliminary, confined to laboratory models, or contested, we say that too — and we try to be explicit about which is which. We distinguish between what has been demonstrated in clinical trials and what remains a plausible mechanism awaiting evidence. We report on regulation as it actually stands rather than as any party would prefer it to be.
That approach is set out in full in our guide to CBD, which is the best place to start if you are new to the subject.
Who writes for us
Our reporting comes from writers, researchers and clinicians working across cannabis science, medicine and the industry. Contributors have included specialists in pharmacology, veterinary medicine, cultivation and regulatory affairs, alongside journalists covering the sector full time.
What we are not
We do not sell CBD products, and nothing we publish is medical advice. Articles describing research into a condition are reporting on that research, not recommending a treatment. Anyone with a diagnosed condition, an existing prescription, or a decision to make about a child or an animal should speak to a qualified clinician or veterinarian.
