New Study Shows 14% of Americans Use CBD
Fourteen percent of Americans personally use products containing cannabidiol (CBD), according to a recent Gallup Poll. Meanwhile, 85% of people in the U.S. are either not yet familiar with the cannabis-derived ingredient or do not currently use it.
Cannabidiol is a nonpsychoactive component of the cannabis plant. Unlike marijuana, which tends to contain high levels of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), CBD doesn't get people high. However, many people use CBD products for their perceived health benefits.
Gallop's survey shows that 40% of cannabidiol users cite pain relief as a primary reason for why they take CBD. Anxiety (20%), insomnia (11%), and arthritis (8%) are the next most cited reasons for CBD use.
