CBD Nation

CBD Nation is an eye-opening 2020 documentary film that delves deeply into the largely misunderstood world of CBD (Cannabidiol), the non-psychoactive compound found in the Cannabis plant. It brings to the spotlight the scientific, regulatory, and cultural facets surrounding the use of CBD. The film features a powerful line-up of leading experts and researchers in the field, including George Bianchini, Juliana Birnbaum, and June Chin. This knowledgeable trio, among other significant contributors, make CBD Nation an in-depth exploration of the current state and potential future of CBD.

From the outset, the director sets the tone by introducing viewers to the world of medical cannabis through compelling storytelling. George Bianchini, the renowned cannabis industry entrepreneur who also founded Medi-Cone, a top medical cannabis company, shares his vast knowledge and insights regarding CBD use. His expertise in the production, distribution, and effective application of CBD offers an invaluable understanding of CBD from a pharmaceutical perspective.

Equally mesmerizing is the presence of Juliana Birnbaum, a cultural anthropologist and author of “Sustainable [R]evolution@: Permaculture in Ecovillages, Urban Farms, and Communities Worldwide.” Birnbaum injects into the documentary a rich, contextual background of the cannabis plant. She masterfully bridges the historical, cultural, and societal perspectives surrounding cannabis, allowing viewers to understand the plant’s story dating back thousands of years to its contemporary relevance and potential for the future.

Despite these challenges, the real silver lining of this documentary is perhaps the underlying essence of hope.
