Anyone ever had any experience using this stuff?  A new client of mine sells it, and they're explaining it internally almost like a wonder drug.

I've never used it, but I'm curious what it's supposed to do.  Anybody have any experiential explanation on that?
 

I haven't, but I have a friend that swears by it for muscle recovery after skiing.

We were just discussing this at work today. Apparently people now sell Hemp plant buds that you can smoke like weed and contains CBD (but doesn't get you high).  There is also a woman in SC who swears it reduced her kid's epilepsy seizures by a ton and had been a vocal proponent to get it legalized and it finally did (kind of) in 2018. Haven't tried it myself 

Tried it a few times, slept like a baby.

It's exploding right now. I work in food and frequent supplement focused stores. It is everywhere in NYC.

I got some for my mom when she was going through chemo. Seemed to help her with Nausea and get good rest. If you do it, get a flavor (my mom liked lemon and mint the best) because the plain one is not flavorless, it's weed flavored. mom said it tasted like a skunk's asshole.

Is it used just like essential oils?  I.e. you can put it in a diffuser.

I think it is mostly ingested through a liquid, from a dropper. I think they have lotions and things too, and like gummies.

I go with gummy bears.... CBD oil is not legal in Ohio 

A couple of my friends swear by the stuff. I never tried it myself.

The Belly seal of approval. 

CBD contains the cannibanoids that weed contains but no THC.  Pretty harmless and Likely good for you for many reasons.

Have a former co-worker who was traveling from Indiana to Colorado every few months to get oil for her granddaughter.  Little girl went from dozens of seizures a day to a few a week, if that.

Also, if you can.. THC > CBD

I worked a trade show last week in Anaheim. CBD products had a massive presence.

I got a lot of samples of these topical sticks and been using then regularly on my elbows (tendinitis) for the past 3 days.

Tbh, I don't know if they are bullshit or not. Feels great after applying, but very similar to Icey Hot.

We use cannabidiol pretty frequently for children with refractory epilepsy. The parents swear by it. Initially caused a lot of headaches for the hospital because the DEA listed it as a Schedule I, but Massachusetts had legal medical use. Hospital policy said they couldn't use it as an inpatient (because if the DEA revoked our license we could not function), but try telling the parents that. Now it is Schedule V and everything is fine

States not allowing this shit baffles me.
