The cost of treatment, running at an average of $100 or more per hour is turning people away from the help they need. However, research suggests that CBD, a cannabis derivative, can help people with anxiety and other mental disorders.

Numerous companies across the world including NewLeaf Brands, Aurora Cannabis, and The Green Organic Dutchman Holdings are purchasing and entering agreements to extend their reach before the year is out.

According to Sean Murph, Director of hemp analytics at New Frontier Data

“Later this year, or in early 2020, the market will clear up as a regulatory framework is established, paving the way for top hemp CBD products to hit the shelves of mass-market retailers.” Which is good news for all those who suffer from an anxiety disorder they can’t treat because of cost.
