Thoughts on CBD?

Wish I had someone I could debate the topic with staff edit-S31

I asked my medical Dr about it, and says it appears to be good for some things, but it is not the panacea that people claim it is. The other issue is that so many people make not sure what is good or bad or how good quality control is with some of the manufactures.

CBD is very useful . It helps with inflammation , pain , anxiety and also many skin irritations like cuts and insect bites . I use CBD for all the above and have found it very effective .

As long is MJ is a schedule 1 drug with the FDA much of that testing and research will never get done.

That's separate from the quality control issue.

Seems it helps with a few things but I've heard people say it helps with damn near everything. At that point it's just snake oil.

One of my cats has terrible separation anxiety and I give him a drop before heading out most days. It seems to help. I personally do not use.

In my circle of family and friends it sometimes helps people but usually helps pets. Doesn't do anything for me.

Love it

I already told you CBD doesn't help me, but should have added Kratom does. It is sold in the same places but prices vary a lot, so worth shopping around if it works for you. You can get a sample packet at 42 degrees.

It sounds like your doctor gave you a balanced perspective! While some products can be beneficial, they aren't cure-alls. Quality control is a big concern, especially with many manufacturers. We must do our research and choose reputable brands.
