With its plethora of health benefits and close association with cannabis or marijuana, as it is popularly known, cannabidiol (CBD) oil is one such controversial substance that makes doctors and medical researchers come face to face with the conservative figureheads of the society. However, with growing public awareness and government support, the stigma associated with CBD oil is rapidly going away and the product is finding more and more consumers all over the world.
In recent times, many countries such as the U.S. and Canada have legalized the usage of the compound and in the coming years, many more will follow. Several countries in Asa-Pacific (APAC), Europe, and Latin America (LATAM) such as the U.K., Norway, Spain, South Korea, Thailand, Japan, Mexico, South Africa, and Brazil have followed the U.S. and Canada and allowed the complete or partial sale of various cannabidiol-containing items in the last few years.
This has, in turn, caused a sharp surge in the consumption of CBD oil. This product is being consumed for treating anxiety and depression, reducing pain, alleviating cancer-related symptoms, and reducing acne. Moreover, this product has several heart-health friendly and neuroprotective symptoms, owing to which, it is increasingly being used in various medical treatments and healthcare programs for disease management and treatment. Besides this, the legalization of CBD oil is also causing job creation in several countries.
By legalizing the cultivation of cannabis, the governments of many countries are creating additional jobs. This is because, now, many people are taking up cannabis cultivation and being hired by businesses selling CBD oil. Moreover, the approval being given to the production of marijuana in several countries is creating jobs related to the commercialization, mass production, and supply of the product. This way the legalization of cannabis usage is creating jobs across the world.
