WASHINGTON, D.C. -- One in seven Americans say they personally use cannabidiol- (CBD-) based products, which have proliferated since last year's passage of a federal law legalizing this hemp form of cannabis. Younger Americans and those in the Western U.S. are most likely to report using these products, which are widely touted for their therapeutic benefits without any psychoactive effects because they contain a low level of THC.
While 14% of U.S. adults are using CBD products, Gallup's June 19-July 12 polling found that 50% do not use them and 35% are not at all familiar with them.
