WARSAW — The Parkview Warsaw Center for Healthy Living is hosting a discussion regarding the benefits and limitations of CBD oil, or cannabidiol.

Cannabidiol is oil extracted from the cannabis plant, more commonly known as marijuana. Recently legalized for sale in Indiana, CBD oil has been touted as a safe treatment for everything from anxiety, insomnia and pain to the side effects of chemotherapy. There are still many questions surrounding its efficacy, however, including safety and the lack of regulation from the Food and Drug Administration.

Jeanette Cochran, MSN- NP-C, Parkview Physicians Group – Mind-Body Medicine, will share the pros and cons of CBD oil, its safety and effectiveness. The presentation will be held at the Parkview Warsaw Center for Health Living, inside the Parkview Warsaw YMCA at 6 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 7. The discussion is free but registration is encouraged. To reserve a seat, please call (260) 266-6500 or (844) 835-0003.
