    So CBD oil is now legal in the UK?

    (I find it very difficult to take anything the DM says at face value)

    In favour of the article is the declaration of the conflict of interest.

    Agreed.

    I also like that the mother referred to her son's depression as "reactive", as though she regards it not as an actual symptom of CFS, but rather an unfortunate consequence of the initial illness (small steps . . .).

    I know it's effectively an advertorial article. But it does sound interesting. I wish someone would do a clinical trial.

    Yes it is. I've bought some, but haven't tried it yet. I got it from a physical branch of Grape Tree, and they also sell it on their website. It is eye-wateringly expensive in my opinion!

    https://www.grapetree.co.uk/?s=cbd+oil&post_type=product&tags=1&ixwps=1

    I'm sure there must be loads of other sources online, but I haven't looked.
