Leafwell commented on the findings: “This year, we have seen a significant jump in interest for CBD and medical marijuana, which have resulted in significant increases in searches for the substance. The popularity of CBD is due to considerable research into the substance, resulting in its many benefits, such as relief of anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorders and depression. The substance has also been used increasingly in the beauty industry over the past few years and is a key ingredient of many successful and well-known skincare products. ”

This study provides interesting insight into which states remain most interested in CBD despite some states being more unaware of the benefits of the substance. The states at the top of this list appear to be keenest to know more about medical marijuana and widen their knowledge on THC.”
