The endocannabinoid system and CBD are relatively new topics. It is difficult to explain why they have not been incorporated into curriculums of higher education everywhere. Part of this is due to the relatively new discovery of the ECS, and the limited understanding of its working.

This has been furthered by decades of anti-cannabis propaganda and legislation in the US. As previously mentioned, the federal guidelines for studying CBD were only relaxed in the last few years.

The best thing you can do is to educate yourself and others about the ECS, an essential and important system in the body and CBD, a key component to a balanced body.

In time, it is likely there will be a shift that results in the way we think about wellness. CBD and other cannabinoids have entered into the wellness landscape in a major way. With the majority of states adopting some form of medical cannabis program, and many more following suit each election cycle, those that understand the plant are gaining a larger presence in the public consciousness. Awareness will increase as many people nationwide experience the benefits of CBD supplementation. CBD has shown extreme promise under scientific scrutiny, and as more research emerges, we are likely to find out more amazing qualities of this plant.
