CBD, cure all or fad? Who here uses it?

I don’t know anything about this or weed, seeing signs pop up for this stuff everywhere. How do you even know if it’s real and if so what’s it good for? Tanks

#2

as a topical it seems to be quite effective (numbing, etc.) but as a smokable/ingestible, i don’t really get it. if you have some incredibly particular ailment that responds to cbd for whatever reason, maybe ingesting cbd could help, but for common things i don’t know anyone whose actually seen a benefit.

#3

I say it is waaaaaaaaay overhyped.

#4

I am very much a believer in CBD. I hear that it cures AIDS, cancer, ALS, IBS, and premature ejaculation.

#5

It (probably) has some sort of medicinal benefit. It’s a shame that there’s not really funding available to actually study the impacts.

I wouldn’t buy it from a gas station or some hippie, but I wouldn’t be surprised if we discover the benefits in 10+ years.

#6

yeah… I don’t trust the gas stations and hippies at all, that’s what makes me skeptical. Been looking for a solution to my back pain from sitting alllll day… not sure if I should take something from big pharma, natural or just bear it like a man, which I’ve been doing for the last few years

You overweight hpr? When I studied for the cfa I often got back pain. But it seems like now the world is off my shoulders!

#8

BMI says I’m a little overweight but I carry it well and still look really good

#10

Do you run? You might just need to build a bit of running muscles to help carry weight around.

#11

I used to jog 4-5 miles every day but haven’t done any type of exercise, except walking, in over 2 years. Need to get back on it.

#12

No exercise for 2 years? #MAGA

#13

I tried a CBD infused cocktail today, worst headache I’ve had in a long time, sad!!! Started about 30 mins after and gotten worst as the day has gone on

#14

CBD balm for joint pain works incredibly. But as others have said, a reputable producer is key.

#15

I’m all for CBD if it also has some THC … you down with OPP?
