I used to get agonizing muscle spasms in my neck, back, legs, and belly. They would often last up to 45 minutes and render me unable to get out of bed. With CBD I can take it when the spasms start and they'll be over in under 2 minutes. I don't know if it's any good for seizures because my seizure medication takes care of that. I don't get any other effects from it.

Eating or drinking cbd it can help with the soreness a bit after running a dozen miles but its slight I doubt topical does anything.

Definitely helps mellow out a bad high, I'm sure consuming it in large doses as a vitamin is horrific long term.

Just so we are clear THC with CBD is not similar to CBD oil, also cure-alls cure nothing.

yeah, and to be more clear "cbd oil" as in the drops etc that you see in health food stores is bullshit, "cbd oil" that comes as a tincture or oil cartridge (usually also with thc) in a dispensary is usually good (but be careful because some carts are bad)

yup, this is exactly the main thing i use it for, and there have been many nights when after playing keyboards for 2-3 hours and then hauling a bunch of heavy gear around cbd has prevented me from collapsing

cbd relative to thc is extremely scarce even in cbd heavy strains that have next to no thc in them. if it helps it helps and i don't begrudge anyone their weed products as a longtime bong smoking robot myself, just manage your expectations and don't rely on it for any serious medical issue if you haven't already exhausted every other option. Afaik treating seizures, particularly in epileptic children, is the most legitimate application but it's not clear whether that is from cbd, thc, or any of the other myriad compounds in dat weed

I recently ordered some for my mum for her Arthritis but i'm in the UK so likely it doesnt have much of the good poo poo in it, still hopefully it helps relieve some of the pain for her, it gets good reviews and i hear good things about it for those that deal with Arthritis, joint pain etc.

CBD didn’t do poo poo for me. L-theanine and magnesium actually helped me with anxiety, sleep, and pain. But people are all different and things that work for some don’t necessarily work for others.

I've tried everything for my chronic lower back pain, minimal to no effect. The only thing that has any real effect is codeine and that's not something I'm willing to regularly take.

I even tried the super expensive "best absorption possible" magnesium.

Perhaps it's my attitude.

My back is jacked from epilepsy, the things that have helped me are physical therapy, 45 minutes of yoga a day and a magnesium supplement. I can't imagine CBD would do a whole lot compared to hard work and physio but I guess it couldn't hurt.

my sister in law swears by it, swindled half our family (including me) into getting some. I was willing to try anything for my headaches at that time, before discovering they were caused by a massive brain tumor. my SIL also recommended putting crystals in my bra. i was not desperate enough to go around lumpy titted.

People try to say cbd will fix anything and they use it on their pets and stuff. It’s probably not harmful but might keep people from getting more effective treatments

Real CBD products from a legal dispensary are subject to the same state testing procedures of THC, especially since they always have a small percentage of THC for activation, but random CBD crap at a smoke shop, gas station, off Amazon, or in your drink at a coffee shop is like 98% fake as hell because it goes through absolutely zero testing whatsoever. Genuine CBD absolutely helps with anxiety and pain... but any of the random CBD gummies off Amazon are almost never legit and are just normal gummies with added hemp.

I have generalized anxiety disorder, and PTSD, and legit CBD has done poo poo all for me. I used to smoke a poo poo-ton of weed until I found out that it wasn't the best for my particular brain chemistry. CBD hasn't done a lot for me. Can't speak for pain, but as far as an alternative, it doesn't work much better than camomile tea.

I live in CO and have gone to a number of dispensaries that have "good reps".

This is just my experience and I'm not saying CBD doesn't work for someone with a different experience, it just doesn't do jack poo poo for me. :shrug:

My understanding was that absolutely nothing off Amazon contained CBD since it's against their policy and that all of the endless products on there are just meant to mislead people by suggesting that "hemp extract" and CBD are the same thing.

I dunno I bought mine from a local company with good reviews and specific CBD mg listed on the bottle. It might be bunk but I don't know how I'd get more legitimate going to a dispensary vs a local CBD shop.

Same. For a while I couldn't smoke it at all because it just made my depression and anxiety skyrocket instantly but now I've reached a point where I can get high for an evening or two and am fine, provided I don't continue to smoke every day.

I've never tried any CBD products other than CBD-only flower, and it does help with my anxiety and makes me sleep well the way regular weed used to. You get the chill feeling without the high and can still function and think clearly. People who have developed a high tolerance for THC are obviously going to feel nothing, however, which I think is another reason some are calling it a scam in addition to the bogus gas station products.

I also tried CBG flower from a smoke shop and it did absolutely nothing and made my stomach upset each time I smoked it.

Do you think your attitude has any effect on what blood types will save you vs which will kill you? There are significant differences between people that necessitate different interventions.

Genuine product arguments aside, I've known dozens of folks who could smoke pounds of weed and not feel anything. I even had a friend who could hit the freshest strongest Salvia one could get and suffer no effects whatsoever. We can all agree that weed is a genuine drug, so there's little arguments of 'fake weed, etc', so I've just figured some people are lucky and CBD works really well for them, and others not so much.

The people itt saying it does nothing are dumb: The effects are definitely significant.

My dad was in the last weeks of his life, dying from painful cancer that had metastasized to his joints. He decided to open himself up to cannabis products. He heard that cbd drinks could ease joint pain and so he reached out to me. I procured him a bottle of cbd drink and the results were impressive. Sure, he felt no relief at first, but the very next day... He poo poo his pants at the Wal-Mart

Not only do those gummies at the gas station have next to no CBD on average but they sure as hell taste like something made from industrial byproducts in a factory that's never heard the term "food-grade". I encourage everyone to try it once, it's a flavor you won't find anywhere else.
