The beverages will be marketed throughout similar distribution channels as bottled drinking water at retail and grocery outlets, so as to be readily available to the general populace in the next few months.<\/p>\n CBD is an extract from cannabis and contains none of the psycho-active ingredients of marijuana, known as THC. CBD has been well studied by major University Medical Research Schools in the United States. One CBD benefit is to reduce DNA damage due to free radical species, anti-aging of neural, CNS, COPD, and other cellular targets. This is described in the United States Health Department Patent # 6,630,507 titled “Cannabis as Antioxidants and Neuroprotectants” (see\u00a0http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/6hwwmt<\/a>) as well as many other research articles published in scientific journals.<\/p>\n
