I haven't finished reading yet but the information seems balanced and scientifically accurate so far.

I do want to make sure @SweetSue sees this.

It is available as a pdf file for download from that link (upper right side of page).

The article is geared toward helping clinicians understand CBD and hemp oils and the ECS better.

Cannabidiol and hemp oils have become especially popular because of their low tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) levels, resulting in attributed medical benefits without the “high” of marijuana. However, clinicians have concerns about whether these treatment options are legal, safe, and effective and are largely unfamiliar with these products. Therefore, we provide an overview of the scientific work on cannabinoids, CBD, and hemp oil and clarify the distinction between marijuana, hemp, and the different components of CBD and hemp oil products so that clinicians may be able to direct their patients to the safest and most evidence-based products.

I will note the DEA recently admitted that CBD is legal.

Some CBD extracts are totally legal, DEA confirms

Agency says it still wants to expand cannabis research and notes that CBD is now legal.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration cleared the air around cannabis Monday, reaffirming its plans to expand cannabis research and confirming that some products containing the popular cannabis-derived component cannabidiol (CBD) are now legal.
