Itll go the way of the supplement industry. Some legit and some scams with a lot of hype for certain things that have weak evidence to back the claims.

I bought a jar of high strength CBD salve. I use it for muscle and joint aches, especially my hands and feet. I thought it was snake oil too but I swear it works wonders.

You seem like you might know a lot about this. 

What's a good CBD oil with no THC (can't get popped for work)?

condensed version


In louisiana, I'm not sure if there is anything sold that isnt Hemp, which is related but not the same as cannabis sativa or indica. The people feeling that hemp CBD may be snake oil..are more so correct. Which bothers me, because judgement is passed, after not really getting it. It's probably the equivalent in difference of trying to smoke hemp and then smoke cannabis. Or the difference between actual beer and non alcoholic. I'm on my knowledge about the plant and flower, etc. CBD extraction from an actual cannabis plant, which is the real shite,.. I'm not 100% sure there wouldnt be trace amounts that could possibly show up.

Again, I'm not an expert on CBD, but I know there is a difference with hemp based CBD and "legit cannabis" CBD. Now if you are not in louisiana and can get ahold of the full spectrum extract cartridges made by Green Dragon extracts in Oregon, that's the best I've found thus far in my 27 years of being a pothead.

More people in the world, more competition. More technology, more competition.

Rapidly.

All our lives, through school and life we are training ourselves for a future. 20 or so years to figure it out. Now, directions, trends, technology etc all changes so fast that no one is secure in their decisions.

This friend of mine works a high stress job and had shared custody of her 3 kids with her ex-husband, so I get it with her. Even the weeks her ex has the kids, she's running all over the place for them.

But I get your point.

CBD has many properties, the problem is that it isnt not easy to extract the oil. So the majority of the CBD products you come across is snake oil.

It's placebo bullshite for people thinking it helps with sleep or anxiety. I took some of the liquid for a few weeks and it did absolutely nothing

My wife brought some home that supposedly helps you sleep.

She says it has worked.

A friend swears it helps her anxiety, and I will say she's much more pleasant and chill to be around than she used to be.
It helps you sleep, cures anxiety and lowers blood pressure. The lady at the farmacy told me people can't take BP meds 4 hours near the CBD.

The giraffe nuts edibles are good but not as potent as the oil under the tongue. I may try the oil with the THC next time.

mainly snake oil, but I use a balm for a knee injury that will flare up and it really helps manage the pain.
