Medical Underwriter here. I consider it the new snake oil. It makes claims to help everything. But if there’s a placebo effect, or by chance it does happen to help some people, give it a shot. It’s just the supplement industry with a new product trying to separate you from your money.

“Medical Underwriter here. I consider it the new snake oil.”

Yes. I was going to offer a magic feather.

Cures everything from hang nails to decapitation

I use it topically on my back which is riddled with arthritis and it gives me 4-6 hrs of pain free living. It works for me.

Have to disagree with you. I have a 30 year old son with uncontrolled epilepsy. We've tried every drug on the market, some with extremely detrimental effects.
We have now added Epidiolex and have had very, very good results.
seizure occurrences are down (we were talking 100's a month) and when they do occur, are rarely grand Mal

So, if it's snake oil, keep milking them snakes!

Yes and thank you!
I have been on the medical MJ research side for about 7 years.

Pure CBD is showing some promise as a neural protectant, but it is very early.

PURE CBD is a controlled substance. If you want to test this statement, go to an online CBD seller(pure CBD, like Cheeba Chews) and try to get some sent in the mail to your state (assuming you live in a state that does not allow MJ for all)

The stuff on the market, the oils, the “supplements” and such are synthetic and there is no way to know how the CBD was extracted.

Some OTC CBD has been found to have ingredients that are not suited for human consumption.

Finally, pure CBD is expensive, one month supply is around $230 for an average person.

Marinol comes in a tablet and is used for lack of appetite and nausea with good results for all age patients. Her MD can write a script and the pharmacy will dispense.

Exactly-

Spot on.

Nailed it.

From my and the experience of others around me, you’re incorrect. Of course it doesn’t do everything, but it most certainly does some things. Headache relief for one.

I tried CBD for arthritis. After a month of using it I came to the conclusion that it is useless.
