Aug. 9 is National CBD Day.

CBD, short for cannabidiol, is derived from the cannabis plant and will not make someone high by itself.

Some studies suggest that CBD may help with falling asleep, chronic pain and inflamation, and other issues.

A New York bank says that sales of CBD could pull in $16 billion in revenue by 2025.

The primary concern at this time is that no one is regulating the production and sale of CBD at this time.

It's considered a dietary supplement so there's no oversight.

If you are considering using it, check with your doctor before doing so.
