A very brave and respected man, in more ways than one. His family will be very proud of him.

Thank you for sharing that. I would not have seen it in the United States. He must have been in top condition mentally and physically before the CBD triggered his decline. Do people in the UK understand what CBD is if they see it in an obituary? Here, I think the family would have to explain it.

Most people have never heard of it, and that's including medical staff.

A big hug.
