We are currently enrolling participants for a home-based clinical trial investigating two CBD Oil formulations in the treatment of PTSD. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned (like a flip of a coin) to one of the following 8 week treatments: (a) CBD oil isolate, (b) CBD oil broad spectrum, or (c) placebo oil. All study procedures (assessment and treatment) are conducted at your home using a smart phone, tablet, or computer connected to the Internet. All participants will receive 8 weeks of CBD oil at no cost.
