Do I need a doctor to prescribe CBD?

May 8, 20211 min read

CBD is a new plant medicine and is still being researched and understood. It is considered to be safe and is an over-the-counter medication. You don’t need a doctor to prescribe CBD but depending on the condition you are wanting to treat, it may help to work with a doctor or CBD practitioner to work out what the best course of treatment may be.

Not all doctors are advocates of CBD as hard scientific fact is still growing. However many doctors are seeing the incredible benefits of CBD and have started to recommend it as an alternative to more harmful and addictive chemical drugs. CBD is known to help with some forms of seizures but this medication contains a much higher dose of CBD than is currently available and is sold by prescription only.

Medical marijuana is also prescribed by some doctors particularly in the treatment of cancer. There is still a long way to go before science and anecdotal evidence meet but with so many people reaping the benefits of CBD, it’s hard to ignore CBD as a viable solution.
