From one link: CBD has a significant therapeutic effect for epilepsy (SMD − 0.5[CI − 0.62, − 0.38] high grade) and Parkinsonism (− 0.41[CI − 0.75, − 0.08] moderate grade).

The other link is about Phase II clinical trials, i.e. ongoing research.

The point stands that there is as of yet insufficient research done to say that CBD is a fit medicine for anxiety/depression. That nature link literally says: "Evidence suggests cannabidiol (CBD) has anxiolytic properties, indicating potential for novel treatment strategies."

Suggests. Potential.

CBD was a controlled substance, i.e. illegal until 2018 in the USA. There's hardly been any medical research around the medicinal benefits of CBD anyway, so you can't even say that CBD works for depression and/or anxiety. There simply isn't research confirming that. The only confirmed medicinal use of it is for certain types of seizures.

Generally people with inside knowledge like that are quite limited in when and how they can trade stock in the very company that they are the leadership of.

The last time that I worked for a major public company, upper management could only trade stocks in anything through a specific broker, on a specific account known to the company. Trading stock in the company itself could only be done in specific time windows AND those trades were delayed by a month. All of this to prevent accusations of insider trading.

No you would buy a call at a lower strike if it's going down but you think it will go up again soon. But trading calls puts is more complicated than just that. Generally speaking though, if you think the underlying will rise less than the interest rate, buy puts, if it will rise more, buy calls.
