Cannabidiol in Anxiety and Sleep: A Large Case Series

As the market and availability of CBD oil continues to increase so do the associated health claims. For all commercial health products there are frequent stories in the media reporting their benefits and the miraculous impact they have on peoples lives; we see this in vitamin supplements, protein powders and “super-foods” – it’s the same with CBD oil.
Before making a change to your diet, it’s important that any anecdotal evidence and claims you come across can be supported by research based science – the stories about CBD oil seem plausible..but are they true?
This paper details the research of one study which looks into the effect cannabidiol has on anxiety and sleep.

Abstract
Context

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of many cannabinoid compounds found in cannabis. It does not appear to alter consciousness or trigger a “high.” A recent surge in scientific publications has found preclinical and clinical evidence documenting value for CBD in some neuropsychiatric disorders, including epilepsy, anxiety, and schizophrenia. Evidence points toward a calming effect for CBD in the central nervous system. Interest in CBD as a treatment of a wide range of disorders has exploded, yet few clinical studies of CBD exist in the psychiatric literature.
