A fake quote of actor Tom Hanks endorsing CANNAPRO CBD has been making the rounds, and it looks the the the 63-year-old filmmaker has caught on.
“This is false and an intentional hoax,” Hanks wrote on Facebook in response to his alleged comments. “I’ve never said this and would never make such an endorsement. Come on, man! Hanx!”
In the fake quote, Hanks referenced the “advancements” that Dr. Oz has made in the CBD industry, likely referring to Mehmet Oz of The Dr. Oz Show.
Oz has taken to investigating CBD as of late. Back in October of 2019, he spoke to four audience members that used cannabidiol, which has been said to help with mood, sleep, pain, memory, appetite, and fertility, per the New Hampshire Union Leader. Despite a variety of studies on such possible effects, there is no scientific consensus on the results.
Oz previously joined Fox 11 to put the quality of various different CBD products to the test via professional examination.
