CBD oil. I bought some about 5 years ago and it did nothing but grease up my tongue

If you buy good quality, you can feel the effects. But the vast majority is trash.

That's my take. I use a CBD vape or oil for arthritis pain and it noticably makes a difference. The oil takes awhile to kick in but it makes me get pretty goofy at higher doses, even without THC in it.

They sell CBD oil with this little droppers for dosing, but when you read the studies the dosage is like a mouthful of oil. It's like the exact opposite problem of melatonin dosing.

It's an anti-inflammatory at best. If you could feel the effects you probably have way more pressing issues than bum weed.

Yeah probably works for some folks. Ive always kinda been the oddball when it comes to drugs. Heck even lsd didnt trip me out Just kept me up from sunset to sunrise pondering the makeup of the universe

I wish we'd focus on hemp for building on an industrial scale.. This CBD crap needs to stop
