Please read the article and advise if it warrants the scathing rebuke or the reviewer is just being mean. All comments and views will be highly appreciated

'5 Must-Know Facts about Cannabidiol
1.0. Introduction
The discovery of a compound called cannabidiol (CBD) in hemp has reignited the debate on the use of marijuana as medicine. Previously, attention was riveted on THC, another ingredient of marijuana responsible for making users high. Below, find 5 must-know facts about this compound that have made it a subject of ongoing scientific debate.
2.0. Cannabidiol Can Cure Schizophrenia
As per a preliminary clinical trial, cannabidiol can treat schizophrenia just as effectively as any other antipsychotic medication. Interestingly, patients treated using this compound did not exhibit the side effects usually seen with other antipsychotic drugs.
Cannabidiol’s behavior seems to be antipodal to that of THC. THC produces psychotic effects in both humans and animals and can worsen Schizophrenia.
3.0. Cannabidiol is Antipsychotic
Cannabidiol is antipsychotic because it doesn’t act on the same channels as its counterpart, THC. The channels, known as CB1 receptors, and so much concentrated in the brain, account for the psycho-altering effects of THC.
This quality makes cannabidiol more acceptable to health professionals as they prefer treatments with reduced side effects.
4.0. Cannabidiol Countervails the Negative Effects of THC
A rising body of evidence reveals that CBD cushions users of marijuana from the severe intoxicating effects of THC, which include paranoia and memory loss.
CBD also countervails the soporific effects of THC.
5.0. CBD is a Panacea to Cure a Vast Number of Diseases and Conditions
A 2013 research shows that CBD possesses prodigious healing potential. For instance, it is an antioxidant that can fight many of the well-known neurodegenerative disorders. It can also combat cancer and kill cancer cells as it is deemed anti-tumoral.
6.0. CBD is Still Illegal in Many Parts of the World
Despite the impressive array of benefits and the obvious solutions that the use of this compound portends, it is still illegal in many parts of the world.'

You didn't say what or where this article was intended for. The comments seem unnecessarily harsh, but I can see where it might fall short of the standards expected for a higher-end publication. You might want to look at these lines in particular:
