A big part of the problem was the prescribed dose was too high: Spectrum Red and High Silver, and were composed of as much as 27 per cent THC - the psychoactive ingredient of the drug - compared to 15 per cent in street cannabis.

The recommended starting dose of THC is low, typically 2.5 mg to 5 mg, with a maximum daily intake rarely exceeding 40 mg. "Starting low and going slow" helps minimize psychoactive side effects and maximizes therapeutic benefits for pain. For beginners, 2.5 mg THC is recommended for edibles, while 10% THC or less is advised for inhaled products.

Some folk with the problems he faced try cannabis in order to help them cope, so i'll take the judge's ruling with a pinch of salt. The causes of his death were already there before he tried Curaleaf.

And how many people does that kill?

It'll waste any member of reform if you put it on his tail.

Mr Robinson said he and his parents believe the industry is more about profit than patient care. 'You trust doctors and health providers to first do no harm, but it seems to me that in Oliver's case profit was prioritised,' he said.

Fair enough, but it disregards the fact he [also] 'obtained cannabis through illicit sources and from a private clinic'.

So why is Curaleaf being blamed solely for this death by misadventure?

Probably because medically qualified experts know more than your average druggy on the subject.

They aren’t. It’s just something the fectards have latched onto, since they never read the whole article. And probably still haven’t. What you have to remember is, Wail articles are designed and presented for the hard of thinking like HWM and spineless. They know the attention span of such folk.

CBD, or cannabidiol, has become increasingly popular due to its potential health benefits, such as pain relief, anxiety reduction, and improved sleep quality. When the entity calling itself spline first talked about 'smelling cannabis from his neighbour through an open window', i asked it if it could tell the difference between the real thing or cbd products.

It couldn't answer and probably can't, of course.

I doubt it still can after several face changes and various disguises.

As more people turn to CBD as a natural wellness product, beginners need to start with the right products to ensure a positive and practical experience. Smoking is just one way and various alternatives are available, such as: CBD gummies - edible sweets infused with CBD oil.
CBD energy drinks, such as water, tea, and coffee. The combination of hydration and CBD can also enhance overall well-being, making these drinks a dual-purpose health product.
CBD capsules and CBD oils, also known as tinctures: liquid extracts derived from hemp plants containing high concentrations of cannabidiol. Typically, CBD oil is taken sublingually, but can also be added to food or beverages.
CBD topicals: products infused with cannabidiol designed to be applied directly to the skin, including creams, balms, and lotions. This localised application minimises the risk of systemic side effects in comparison to ingestible forms of CBD, providing a safer option for those new to CBD.

A broad-spectrum CBD is often the best choice as it offers the benefits of multiple cannabinoids and terpenes without any THC. This provides a balanced approach, allowing the 'entourage effect'* where the compounds work synergistically to enhance therapeutic benefits without the risk of THC-related side effects.

*the name given to the synergistic impact of all of the cannabinoids, flavonoids and terpenes that are found within cannabis plants. Essentially, the entourage effect is all of these compounds working together harmoniously to increase the beneficial effects received. This helps to create balance and homeostasis within our body. Research suggests that having an organically complete plant medicine is much more beneficial than the individually isolated compounds alone.

There are many reasons that people use CBD, more often than not people are looking for a natural alternative to over the counter medicines like pain relievers, anti anxiety drugs and antidepressants.

Some of the most common ailments and illnesses that people use CBD to help treat and relieve symptoms of (but not limited to) include:

• Multiple sclerosis and other chronic pain disorders
• Stress disorders including things like post traumatic stress disorder and anxiety
• Sleep disorders like insomnia and other sleep deprivation symptoms
• Inflammatory and neuropathic pain
• Seizure disorders
• rheumatoid arthritis

Of course, CBD is not limited to treating just these conditions, it is commonly used because of its powerful anti-inflammatory properties and pain relieving effects for treating almost any unwanted symptoms. Furthermore, CBD oil and other extracts like isolate can be found in sports recovery balms, cosmetics and in food products to improve general health and wellbeing. When it comes to CBD, there is plenty of scientific evidence of its efficacy which is largely why it is popular. Unlike THC, CBD is completely legal here in the UK as well as many other countries around the globe.

CBD works by interacting with our endocannabinoid system and cannabinoid receptors found throughout our bodies in our central and peripheral nervous systems, our brain, organs, immune cells and glands. It can bring significant reduction in pain for things like chronic pain, acute pain and also for pain related to sports injury like strains and aches too. It does this by interacting with our endocannabinoid system which is responsible for regulating our nervous system and nociceptive systems. It helps to regulate functions like memory, appetite, mood, inflammation, motor control and pain.

The global CBD market is expected to surpass $20 billion by 2025, marking unprecedented growth as consumer interest in natural wellness and alternative therapies continues to rise. This expansion is driven by a shift toward holistic health practices, increased awareness of CBD's therapeutic potential, and its integration into various industries, including skincare, food, and beverages.

With regulatory landscapes becoming more favourable and research validating CBD’s potential benefits, the industry is positioned for exponential growth and an increase in CBD sales in the coming years. Custom formulations are gaining popularity, allowing consumers to potentially address specific health concerns with targeted CBD blends. Additionally, emerging delivery methods such as patches and sprays provide discreet, efficient alternatives, making CBD more accessible and convenient for diverse lifestyles. These continued innovations are set to redefine how CBD is used in 2025 and beyond.

Legal and regulatory frameworks for CBD are evolving rapidly, with a growing focus on standardisation to ensure product quality and safety through mandatory third-party testing. Globally, shifting CBD laws are opening new markets while encouraging stricter compliance measures. In the UK, recent policy updates demand that manufacturers and retailers adhere to enhanced standards, affecting product formulations and labelling. These developments reflect a maturing industry and signal a push toward greater accountability and consumer trust.

If cannabis ever gets legalised all the so-called medicinal properties will soon be forgotten about!

The opposite will likely happen.
