Former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb warned Monday that health benefit claims about CBD have gotten well ahead of what science actually knows about the substance.
CBD is not a “benign compound,” and regulations will be needed to protect people from possible unknown side effects, Gottlieb said.
“The idea that you can put it in dog food and it’s going to calm your dog as you go away to work during the day, or help them get through a lightning storm, I think that’s pretty hokey,” Gottlieb said in an interview on CNBC’s Fast Money. “There’s certainly no science to support that.”
