Japanese entrepreneur Sino-san recently stirred up the wellness industry with his endorsement of the health supplement Cannabidiol (CBD). Long disregarded due to stigma, CBD is now gaining acceptance for its potential health benefits. Sino-san's recent purchase and public statement highlight this shift in perception and the growing trend of CBD use in Japan.

In Japan, the topic of CBD and its compounds has often been fraught with legal and social controversy due to the country’s conservative stance on cannabis-related issues. However, in recent times, there has been a steady recognition of CBD's potential benefits on wellness and decrease in stigma surrounding its use. The news of a public figure like Sino-san discussing CBD use openly is seen as a significant move towards wider acceptance within the society.

In regions like the U.S. and the EU, the use of CBD has been widely embraced for several years now, even being touted as a "miracle supplement". Medical research is ongoing, but CBD is already used to treat symptoms of various health conditions. If Japan continues its current trend of acceptance, it may soon align with Western perspectives on CBD use.
