Johnson Compounding and Wellness, in Waltham, will host National Educator Miles Sarill who will lead an informative lecture on CBD at 5 and 6:30 p.m., April 1.  

Hemp-derived cannabidiol, or CBD, has been receiving a lot of attention for its benefits on human health. Hemp CBD supplements are even being recognized amongst the medical community as a key supplement to improve quality of life. However, even with its growing popularity, some still are not entirely familiar with it and are even hesitant to approach the subject.  

Attendees will learn about the discovery of CBD and its natural sources, including the differences between agricultural hemp and high-THC cannabis plants; discover how CBD interacts with the body via the human endocannabinoid system (ECS) and how it is related to overall well-being; learn why hemp is the eco-friendliest way to balance the endocannabinoid system; and determine why hemp-derived CBD may be the best option for one’s health.
