CBD Nation examines the real research and evidence surrounding one of the safest, most therapeutically active medicines known to humanity. The documentary features the world's leading experts in the field of cannabis scientific research, and follows the emotional stories of several patients who bravely took control of their own medical journeys - often in the face of powerful resistance - to significantly improve their quality of life. Over the last several decades, the US government quietly published numerous studies and reports revealing cannabis to be a safe, non-addictive, effective treatment for depression, nausea, tumor reduction, glaucoma, opiate withdrawals, epileptic seizures, and many other conditions. In 1999 the U.S Department of Health filed patent number 6,630,507 for the use of compounds found inside the cannabis plant - with a strong emphasis on CBD - as a potential treatment for many medical conditions.
