What we know -- and don't know -- about CBD CBD is a cannabis extract that doesn’t make you high. You can buy it as a balm, spray, mint or oil. It’s not cheap -- a CBD lotion or oil can set you back $50-$80. The wellness industry markets CBD as a miracle drug that can cure everything from headaches to depression. But a lot of those claims aren't backed by science, and there’s a lot we don’t know yet about CBD.

In 'Speechless,' Scott Silveri combines comedy, family & disability Scott Silveri has written and produced sitcoms for more than 20 years. In all that time, he never encountered a TV family that looked anything like the one he grew up in -- with a mom, a dad...and a brother with cerebral palsy. He changed that with his show Speechless on ABC. Silveri tells us about looking to his own past for stories, and why he was determined to make a family comedy and not just a "disability show."
