CBD Awards, such as the World CBD Awards, assume a critical role in the setting of the quality and integrity standards within the industry [3]. SETTING INDUSTRY STANDARDS CBD awards recognize the best in the industry and thereby set standards which all producers want to meet. They create standards for product quality, safety, and efficiency that new entrants and existing companies strive to meet. PROMOTING TRANSPARENCY Awards promote companies’ transparency on the cultivation practices, manufacturing processes, and lab testing. This transparency is therefore critical for consumer confidence and in general for the credibility of the industry.

Cannabidiol, or CBD, is one of the non-psychoactive constituents of cannabis (hemp variety) that has attracted attention for its potential health benefits without the euphoric effects of its relative, THC. CBD works through modulation of the endocannabinoid system (ECS) that makes an essential contribution to the homeostasis. This system affects many physiological processes, including mood, pain, and sleep [4].
