A note from Gallup: percentages add to more than 100% due to US adult consumers having multiple responses.
It's important to note that that our products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease including the conditions noted above. The FDA notes that CBD products are being marketed with unproven medical claims and are of unknown quality. While our rigorous testing regimen ensures that every production batch of CBD meets and exceeds State of Colorado-mandated standards for quality and consistency, Straight Hemp makes no medical claims about our products.
The FDA continues to receive immense pressure from industry trade groups, CBD companies and other governmental groups, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY).
