What is cbd?
CBD is a natural medicine derived from hemp and cannabis. It is a drug that is still being researched and it is fairly new. CBD works by connecting with the receptors in your body and stops inflammation, calms your body, and targets pain. I researched what CBD is, how it works, who the target audience is, and most importantly, how the government safely regulated this new medicine.
Reasoning
Our focus for this project was reasoning. I was challenged to show reasoning throughout my project and be able to back up my reasoning with evidence as well. In my English portion, I showed reasoning through making a PSA and explaining why CBD might be a great option for someone with health complications. I also used reasoning in my History presentation where I explained the reasoning behind the regulations for CBD. In my art piece there is solid reasoning behind my choice in pattern, canvas size, colors and technique. I enjoyed using reasoning within my project and although the research was a challenge for me, I loved learning more about this medicine.
History
For my final product in history, I chose to make a presentation on how the laws and regulations on CBD keep the public safe. This slideshow includes the FDA guidelines, the laws on selling and growing CBD, and most importantly, how the laws keep our public safe. Since it is a fairly new medicine, it needs to be treated as one.
Art
For my art portion, I decided to do something new. I wanted to focus on the different groups of people who have tried CBD. My idea was to have a bigger canvas that represented the public who buy CBD from gas stations and un-reliable sources. The smaller canvas shows the group that actually research their product and buys from a dispensary. I decided to do a more modern print for the bigger canvas and then the smaller canvas would be more natural and simple. If you look closely, the smaller canvas has Native American symbols drawn behind the paint to symbolize the natural medicines they used and lived on.
English
Below is a PSA for people who are thinking about trying CBD for the first time. It focusses on why CBD would be a good option for you. I researched the different health conditions that CBD could treat and Why it is a better option than other medicines. There are very few effects that CBD will give you, compared to the many side effects that people deal with while taking medications. Along with this, CBD is a natural medicine. This video focusses on the reasoning behind why CBD is a great option over prescribed medicines.
