49x04 The Truth About CBD

  • 2021-10-23T00:00:00Z30m

CBD is found everywhere, from chocolate bars to pet treats, from face masks to moisturizers and bath bombs; and while CBD itself holds real medicinal promise, a Marketplace investigation has found hundreds of illegal CBD products for sale in a thriving Canadian black market. Going undercover, we found products are easily available and salespeople willing to make extravagant and illicit health claims that often ignore or avoid mention of negative interactions. While we look to CBD for its promise as a health remedy, Marketplace has found there’s no control over what goes into the illegal black market products - and no legal way to test them.
