Ad Review
On 10/7/2022 BBB asked Western MA Hemp, Inc. to substantiate the following claim appearing on their website:
“CBD interacts with Cannabinoid 1 (CB1) and Cannabinoid 2 (CB2) receptors in our bodies’ endocannabinoid system (ECS). Studies have shown that the ECS helps regulate homeostatic processes throughout the body including immune and anti-inflammatory responses, sleep patterns, appetite, and anxiety levels.”
BBB also requested substantiation for the testimonials on their website which imply that their product has provided specific health benefits.
During our review, we noted the following testimonials advertised:
o “I take the capsules every day and use the topical when I need pain relief.”
o “I use their topical and tincture and have found great relief from both. My anxiety is gone and the topical helps with my everyday aches and pains.”
o “I use a small amount of their Full Spectrum CBD Topical on my back daily. For the first time in years, I can move freely.”
Businesses advertising testimonials are responsible for retaining substantiation for claims made or implied when they use a specific submission. Disease or treatment claims require a high-level of scientific substantiation.
BBB’s Code of Advertising requires advertisers to be prepared to substantiate such claims through independent scientific testing. As of 11/22/22 BBB has not received a reply from the business regarding the above advertising concerns.
