Sylène Brianceau stands in the middle of a cannabis field, hidden by corn crops, somewhere in Lot-et-Garonne.

This food engineer at Agrotec reaches out to a plant: “We all know this leaf.

But it is in the flower that the greatest quantity of cannabidiol is found, the molecules with the properties that we are looking for”.

In his laboratory, the apex (in other words the extremity) is cut, dried, crushed, extracted with alcohol, purified and then dissolved in oil.

“And here is an oil enriched with CBD, explains the scientific partner of an economic interest group “Hemp of Garonne”.

It will have benefits for anxiety, sleep and may even have pain relieving properties.

At least, on some people.

“Epidiolex is an antiepileptic drug based on pure cannabis which does indeed suggest a sedative effect, confirms Alexandre Maciuk, teacher-researcher at the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Paris-Saclay, one of the leaders in CBD research in France.

Diverted for food use, you will be praised for the anti-stress qualities of CBD.

But the results are now proving to be very random depending on the person and the doses”.

We did the test by having a grandmother and a chef taste CBD oil.

To see their reactions, press “play”!
