CBD is found everywhere, from chocolate bars to pet treats, from face masks to moisturizers and bath bombs; and while CBD itself holds real medicinal promise, a Marketplace investigation has found hundreds of illegal CBD products for sale in a thriving Canadian black market. Going undercover, we found products are easily available and salespeople willing to make extravagant and illicit health claims that often ignore or avoid mention of negative interactions. While we look to CBD for its promise as a health remedy, Marketplace has found there's no control over what goes into the illegal black market products - and no legal way to test them.

We test school boards across the country by asking one question: How many students have attacked other students? The majority of schools refused to answer, so we decided to just ask students themselves.

This months-long CBC News and Marketplace investigation reveals student-on-student violence in schools is all too common, and drastically underreported.

Plus, we ask: What is the RCMP doing to stop this scam for good?
