+<br>All sorts of ads for [Balance Bloom CBD Gummies](http://www.neugasse.net/arnettemungo73) oil have been popping up on my Facebook news feed. Many of them feature Dr. Oz. They have much in common, although they promote different products. Today’s teaser says "Finally found the answer to my pain and stress! " When you click on the "Learn more" tab, you get a page with a picture of Dr. Oz and the headline "Dr. Oz Announces His Specially Formulated, Potent CBD Product Is Available on Trial for Less Than $5". It says Dr. Oz considers it "absolutely imperative that anyone out there suffering from pain or anxiety needs to incorporate CBD into their daily routine". He claims to have been working on a project for ten years with Dr. Sanjay Gupta, and to have recently announced it on his TV show. They allegedly hired a team of 10 doctors who worked for four years (or was that ten years?) to create a product that exceeded all expectations (10X more potent!).<br>

+<br>Here they call it Tetra [Balance Bloom CBD Gummies](http://www.neugasse.net/arnettemungo73) Oil. In other ads, there are other names. Other ads feature different celebrities such as Dr. Phil and Oprah Winfrey; some quote a price of $7. They claim that large pharmaceutical companies immediately tried to buy them out, and that Dr. Gupta refused, saying he and Dr. Oz wanted to give everyone a better life without pharmaceuticals, even if it meant the failure of a pharmaceutical company. The ads all feature similar testimonials from several [people including](https://www.ft.com/search?q=people%20including) Garth Brooks. The faces looked familiar: I think they are the same people in ads for different products. Users of Tetra CBD Oil are experiencing results that before now were only possible through prescription medication. And of course they don’t mention any peer-reviewed studies showing their product is superior, or even that it is safe and effective; no such studies have been done. The Tetra [Balance Bloom CBD Gummies](https://www.herzog-it.de/dlwnate6318374) Oil website claims it relieves chronic pain, reduces anxiety and stress, lowers blood sugar levels, supports healthy sleep, and much more.<br>

+<br>It offers no scientific evidence. It urges prompt action because "supplies are limited." Where have we heard that before? Thank you to everyone who has reported fraudulent ads through "Oz Watch". Remember, I don’t endorse anything, so if you see something using my name or likeness, it is fake! When I tried to revisit the first ad I saw, featuring large pictures of Oprah and  [Balance Bloom CBD Gummies](https://roleropedia.com/index.php?title=Where_To_Buy_CBD_Cream_Near_Me%3F) Oz (but not together), I couldn’t find it again. I suspect Facebook removed it. Science-based Medicine has covered CBD several times, most recently in Steven Novella’s September 2020 article. His review concluded "The science is not yet in on cannabinoids for most indications. I wish all dietary supplement ads were this easy to debunk.

How will this affect the landscape of medical cannabis in Europe? In Macedonia, cannabis is not legal for recreational use at all, and there are no decriminalization or personal use laws to boot. However, in 2016, Macedonia did approve a bill for medical cannabis within the country. As per Macedonian laws, which sync with EU laws here, oils and extracts can have up to .2% THC and still be sold without a prescription. Cannabis with any higher THC amount can be obtained through prescription. The laws allow for private citizens to make use of medical cannabis, as well as for Macedonia to enter into the legal medical cannabis market with laws to cover cultivation, production, and exportation for medicinal use. Since that time, and according to internal legislation, Macedonia has been exporting extracts, oils, and tinctures, but that’s it.<br>
