That's the problem with CBD oil. There's definitely something there. It does something to relive pain but there's not a lot of research to quantify that effect or any negative side effects so it has a snake oil reputation. io do think it helps though, there's some kind of anti-inflammatory action there and, as Americans grow older, I think it will be very useful to have another OTC anti inflammatory medication, especially if it's as effective as Motrin and has minimal side effects. The fact is, Motrin kills people every year and we know tylenol has liver toxicity issues too.
The main thing I take it for is as an anti-spasmodic. As effective as 2-5 mg diazepam. And secondarily for pain. And third, as a hypnotic drug, but the effect is subtle for me there.
