Explanation:

The recent controversy about the use of drugs in Bollywood has further stigmatised the usage of CBD. In this article we discuss the formation, effect, use and legality of Cannabidiol(CBD) oil.

CBD oil is an extract from the cannabis plant. The two main active substances in it are cannabidiol or CBD and delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC.
The high that is caused by the consumption of cannabis is due to THC. CBD, however, does not cause a “high” or any form of intoxication.
CBD oil is made by extracting CBD from the cannabis plant, then diluting it with a carrier oil like coconut or hemp seed oil.
Cannabidiol can reduce pain and anxiety. It also reduces psychotic symptoms associated with conditions such as schizophrenia as well as epilepsy.
There is not enough robust scientific evidence to prove that CBD oil can safely and effectively treat cancer.
CBD oil manufactured under a licence issued by the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940 can be legally used. However, the use of cannabis as a medicine is not much prevalent in India.

Hence both statements are correct.
