CBD recommendations hope to provide some clarity for using the product, despite a lack of scientific evidence proving that it works to treat pain.
"It was important to acknowledge the public's interest, and put out some guidelines on the state of the science," said Kevin Boehnke, a research investigator who works in anesthesiology at the University of Michigan. Boehnke helped develop and write the guidelines for the Arthritis Foundation.
Since then, the task of regulating CBD products has fallen on the Food and Drug Administration, but so far the agency has not done so. The group admits any evidence showing CBD might be an effective pain reliever is anecdotal, and encourages more scientific research needed to prove safety and efficacy.
For both CBD and THC products, the group urges patients to work with a physician to find products from reputable retailers who use independent, third-party testing. Outside experts called any guidelines on a substance for which there is no regulatory guidance “irresponsible.”
