Just read an add for a CBD gummy product. You wouldn’t believe the claims from weight loss, multiple sclerosis, Irritable bowl syndrome, and on and on.

I don’t think unregulated OTC claims in advertising are a freedom of speech. Where should we draw the line, or should there be a line?

I take a gummy at bedtime to help me sleep but it doesn’t perform health miracles that doctors can’t explain.

That stuff is almost as good as Chaga. I'd spend all my money on Chaga.

You can say whatever you want, but that does not mean there won't be consequences; liable, false advertising charges, etc..

Dietary supplements that are Have some very lax rules. I watched an investigate report years ago when I was on a huge health and exercise kick. It was very surprising the rules at the time. May be different now that was a long time ago

People's bodies respond to different things differently. Thats partly why they can get away with such claims. Coffee doesnt make me more energetic, so can I sue Folgers?

There is a BIG problem with saying only truth is protected speech. Whoever is in power gets to decide what the truth is. there are laws in place to sue in civil court for misleading ads or lies about ones character. Some big holes in those laws too. Many folks cant afford an attorney. If you buy CBD to cure baldness or whatever the only damages you have are the cost of the CBD.

Nothing is perfect. Most people recognize snake oil. Lets leave free speech alone.

It's up to you to figure it out. Nothing to do with 1st Amendment.

If it don't do what they claim....simple fix....don't buy it anymore.

I think the FDA makes them say that if it hasn’t been approved by them.

If you look close, most have “results may vary” or “Results not typical” somewhere in the ad. I think all they need to claim things is one person to say it helped them do this or that. They sound like the snake oil salesman off the back of a wagon with a plant in the crowd: “I can see! I can see! Give me another bottle of that miracle elixir!”

Would Fouchi needed a pardon if it was a freedom of speech?

Or even Lizzard Cheney, Schiff, Thompson, or any of the rest of the beneficiaries of the preemptive pardons.

If you are on blood thinners, Chaga, like turmeric wouldn't be good to be taking. If you are having surgery, you would be advised to stop taking Chaga a couple weeks prior to your surgery as it could cause intense bleeding.
