GPT 3.5 · Answer

It is important to note that while there are some studies that suggest CBD may have some benefits for anxiety and insomnia, the research is still in its early stages and more robust clinical trials are needed to truly determine the extent of these benefits. Therefore, it would be more accurate to say that the marketing of CBD products for anxiety and insomnia is based on preliminary scientific evidence rather than pseudoscience.
