Is CBD snake oil?
My SIL swears by it for reducing inflammation and also anxiety. Needless to say, it sounds too good to be true. It’s also expensive because she buys through MLM. What do you guys know about this stuff?

I tried it for the sake of experimentation Maybe it was just in my mind, but I swear, that I felt a little bit better. Maybe a more positive mood, and reduced anxiety ? I only did it 3 times , once a day .
I plan on trying it again . I know several people that swear by it . One of my customers, not a pot head by any means. Just your normal middle aged man , has bad back problems for the last 15 years . He says that after all this time, it is the one thing that relieves his pain, without any side effects . He has had surgeries, tried opiates, all the typical pain killers, chiropractor etc.

I don't know if it's snake oil or not but if it works for her, more power to her.
However, as regular marihuana becomes more and more legal we will find out just how damaging it really is. I read where it previously having been classified as a class IV narcotic or whatever prevented the widespread scientific study of it and its effects. Thus the oft-cited statements to the effect that there has never been any scientific study showing marihana to be harmful blah, blah, blah. The same might be true of CBD i.e., no empirical evidence to date one way or the other. |

Didn't do anything for me but it was for my shoulder which was really messed up. The doc asked how I made it as far as I did. Real pain killers.

No, it is not snake oil. For some problems, it's not going to work. If you need heart bypass surgery, CBD will not fix that. It has helped a LOT of people with other problems. I cannot count (and heard another story last weekend) the people who have reported remarkable relief just from the oil you rub on your skin. I have used it myself.
No. It is not snake oil.

What a great question. I know a chemist that claims the molecule is too large to pass through the skin.
Lots of people swear by it. No idea. |

It works for me. Neck pain was so bad that I was taking 4-6 ibuprofen a day. CBD has eliminated my need for Ibuprofen. Good CBD shouldn’t have any THC in it. It is made from hemp.

Yes!
I came for the CBD, and stayed for the THC. What was the question? |

My wife has Fibro Myalgia with lots of inflamation, and pain if she over does it the previous day, and has a major flareup. She used to be damned near bedridden on those days, but between her essential oils, and CBD, she is still very functional, and if the pain exists, she can eliminate it with it's use.
She doesn't use it daily, only when needed, with no side effects. |

Since my days of studying to pass the pee test are over, I decided to give CBO (with small amounts of THC) a try.
I have chronic arthritis in in my right hip (left has been replaced, I go see the same Doc tomorrow to schedule the right hip later this year) and both shoulders due to separations and dislocations. Lots of reasons why, not really germane. My experience, after a lot of homework and discussions with friends of mine who were using CBO's, has been fantastic. I have been able in the past eight months to get a walk/jog/elliptical in nearly everyday, started old guy pillow glove boxing training again and have lost the 30lbs I gained when the hip pain became too much. I never took pain killers beyond the occasional Advil at night to sleep. The CBO is all I now use. BTW, CBD is not supposed to contain THC. I bought a small amount at CVS for goodness sake. If it is the placebo effect I am onboard the Placebo Express.
