Has CBD oil helped you at all?

Not specifically CBD, but we make our own cannabis topical with weed, coconut oil and shea butter. It helps with stiffness and pain. Ours is a full spectrum plant though that has THC, terpenes and everything, not just CBD.
It's kind of like this but a bit thicker, it stays more solid at room temp:

I've had 15+ years of chronic pain, anxiety and depression. It helped none of those things for me.
I knew 30 seconds into the sales pitch that it was snake oil, but I tried it anyway.

My vet recommended I use small doses (1mg twice daily) for my dog to help his anxiety. He's been on it for about a month and he seems a bit more chill.
CBD 50/50 edibles really helps with muscle soreness for me, just have 3mg chew at night before bed and relax off to sleep
I've seen CBD claimed to do everything helping with cancer to to seizures. Most of it sounds like a gross exaggeration if not an outright lie and I truly wonder about the claims I've heard from people who say its changed their lives.
I do think it does have some uses with certain kinds of seizures and such but people seem to treat it like some kind of magical panacea that'll fix or help any and everything. Seems dangerous.

CBD oil got me off Xanax for anxiety attacks.
Because now instead of having them 3 times a week I have them maybe once a month. Huge improvement to my quality of life.
This is the brand I use

Nice, I do the same with my Nova decarboxylator. I add a few drops of lavender or eucalyptus essential oil to each little jar, makes it smell amazing. My SO has arthritis even though she's only 26. When she's having a rough night, it helps quite a bit.
Pretty sure there has been, and like a lot of things it's hit or miss for people.
I actually just ordered some last week and it's arriving today. I am skeptical but know people that swear by it. Will give it a fair shot.
It helps a bit with joint/ muscle pain, although I prefer thc/CBD edibles for this myself. CBD alone seems a bit weaker to me, but edibles are strong enough to only take them once a week or less.
It isn't snake oil, but it's definitely over-marketed. YMMV

I got my boyfriend some oil to help with anxiety and he tried it for a couple weeks, even using way more than recommended and no changes at all. Didn't do a thing.
I use CBD iso from Bluebird Botanicals when I can't use proper mj. I use it for my anxiety, specifically for my feet/hands so they stop sweating. It works well for that and takes me down a tiny notch. It kind of just makes me relax, not high or anything. Feels almost like 4-5 hrs after a proper bong rip for me.
It makes me feel a bit more chill when I take some in the morning for my work anxiety-jitters. It's subtle though; don't take it expecting to nigh-and-day cure your anxiety. My mother-in-law takes it for pain relating to her cancer and it also helps her a little bit there.
For what it's worth I'm also using a high-potency brand with about 25-50 mg per dose for myself, about 100 mg per dose (or more depending on the severity of the pain) for my mother-in-law. A lot of CBD products that you can buy from organic grocery stores and the like is often suuuuper lacking in potency; I was underdosing like crazy with the first few brands I tried because a full dropper was only like 10 mg of CBD.

Idk, it works for me, even kept me off of zofran pre-surgery. So it has helped with my nauseousness as well. I would do research on where you buy it from. Make sure it's lab tested and all that. There is a lot of junk out there with low levels of cbd
Haha I kind of feel like that, but they do work on different brain receptors.
I have a crazy tolerance though, the weed i grow is 25%+ THC, so i don't even know if I would feel what would register with a normie lol
There are. But only for certain types of pain. Some studies have shown largely equivalent results to morphine. The data is early. And it largely varies from individual to individual. If traditional pain meds/tx aren't working, then I'd start considering it but not before that.
haven't tried any oral version. just in vape form.
mostly muscle recovery from an intense workout session.

i might end up getting some for my mom, she started taking anxiety medicine and already was taking meds for joints.
Have you considered trying a weighted blanket as well? I'm a horrible sleeper. I thrash, can't get my legs comfortable, struggle to get back to sleep when I wake up. For years, it was just normal for me to wake up a few times every night. Now I hit a Lyf cartridge after I crawl under my 15 lb. blanket. I sleep like I'm dead. Unless my girlfriend wakes me up, I finally sleep solidly until my alarm goes off.
My friend claims when he takes CBD it helps with his mood, mild pains, and that he gets way higher when consuming THC.
CBD hasn't helped my anxiety at all, whereas THC did. I literally feel no better or anything for that matter with CBD, but I have almost no anxiety ever when THC is involved. Just sucks I'm not in a legal state anymore.
CBD didn't do much for me (anxiety, some depression), but this stuff...
Magtein powder (Magnesium L-Threonate) saved my sanity.

I love all the people in here who tried it, it didn't work, so automatically it's snake oil. Yeah man I had a headache once and I took some advil and it didn't help, that shit is some snake oil too lol.
Everyone is different, everyone reacts differently to different drugs. Some can eat a handful of edibles and feel nothing, others can take a tiny drag off a pipe and they're fucked up for hours. Some people can take a single Advil and some need to take the maximum daily dosage. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it's bullshit. Like literally any other drug, YMMV, and since it's still new and not as regulated as other drugs, there are all kinds of variables (ie does it actually have the advertised amount in it, is it a CBD/THC mix, did you smoke/vape/eat it, how potent was the strain they used, etc). But also like normal weed, it's not some kind of all encompassing wonder drug like some might want you to believe. Your best bet, to find out if it works for you or not, is to do some research on the different kinds, find a good quality product, and try it yourself. It'll either help or it won't and then you'll know.
My dad uses CBD honey and edibles to help with his pain management and he says sometimes it helps better than the prescription drugs he gets from the doctor. I tried CBD honey once and felt relaxed for about 5 minutes, then my eyes started itching and watering like crazy for about 10 minutes, then the effects wore off entirely. My girlfriend tried the same honey and said it made her feel sleepy. *shrug*

I think it varies from state to state. I've heard it's legal to buy CBD weed in Texas, even though normal weed is still illegal there (if someone can confirm/deny, chime in)
Absolutely. I also have a 25 lbs. weighted blanket that is super helpful. Combine the two, and I sleep like a log in a way that I'm completely unable to without.
Ive been buying CBD gummies that are listed all over Groupon (JustCBD i think is the brand). Long story short, my L5 in my back is fucked and is prone to slipping. I didnt know it until about a year ago when the pain was absolutely killing me. I started taking CBD gummies (2 in the morning, 2 at night every day) and I was able to regain normal function. NOW, I am not making any claims that the CBD has helped me, it could be a total coincidence, but the few times that I forgot to order more, like say, going a week without any, my back has started to ache again. I am pretty skeptical that its the CBD doing this, but not enough to stop taking it.
