Through the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp has been a legalized substance across the US, which brings a great option for people that are still shy about trying cannabis.

For instance, for those suffering from social anxiety disorder (SAD) hemp oil assisted in controlling the blood pressure levels and heart rate almost at a normal level. The amount taken was 600 milligrams of Phyto cannabinoids. In another study, it was discovered that hemp oil might have the ability to control cartilage breakdown.
