IMHO…
CBD may very well be beneficial to some folks, but the marketing blitz has been way over played. My wife was a cancer patient and that sh*t didn’t help at all. THC however did help her sleep.
So if you are tempted by the hype keep in mind your doc may have been taken in by the hype too, and the promised results may be highly exaggerated.

It was just another example.
The Pu that we use is manmade. But it does occur in nature as well, it's just a whole lot cheaper to breed it than to try to refine the very low levels found in nature.
There are some very heavy elements which have been created that have exceptionally short half-lives which really don't exist in nature, other than for a little bit of time during extreme events like the big bang. Pu is not one of those.

That low on the periodic table, pretty much anything will occur in nature in very specific circumstances... the right geology will result in proximity of heavy elements and neutron bombardment. Statistically it will happen eventually, once a precursor is formed the decay process is on rails and inevitable.
For practical purposes, it's correct that you need to breed Pu-238 to acquire any useful amount of it. You'd have to mine and refine literally mountains of rock to get the slightest trace of the natural stuff (which is of course utterly indistinguishable from man-made).

Not quite. Very rare but it happens.

All of which is cute, but irrelevant.
If you fly and hold a FAA medical, and take or use CBD oil, you're a ****ing idiot.
If you take plutonium, you're a ****ing idiot, too. Don't take either one.
Whether it's natural or not is irrelevant.
