Cbd oil and Gummies

I was just wondering about people's thoughts and experiences with cbd oil. Was it positive or negative? Any benefits or things to look out for? Recommendations on research and getting more information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

It seems to help, not eliminate, the pain within 15 minutes or so.

Tommy Chong's Good Vibes/Nice Dreams combo. It comes with a money back guarantee, so there's really no risk. Just save the bottles. His page reads a bit like an infomercial, but I'm happy with the product. It's a liquid that you put under your tongue until you have to swallow it. And it tastes good.

I'm sleeping better and have more energy during the day. The improvement was gradual, but it's definitely noticeable now.

There are no side effects, interactions or a 'high' feeling. It is an amazing antioxidant and it is tragic that this country will not allow research to be done due to it's Schedule 1 status.

I've used Hempettes, like cigarettes, but hemp.

Trying to quit smoking tobacco.

I sleep much more soundly if I have 1 or 2 during the day.

For sleep, though, it really doesn't help me. I've started using THC gummies before bed and that helps a lot; I'm sleeping deeper and staying asleep longer.

Due to draconian opiates laws in Michigan, my pain meds were reduced in such a way that instead of a 2 out of 10 on the pain scale, I am at a constant 4 out of 10--quite annoying. My PA at the pain clinic suggested trying CBD and gave me a 50% off coupon for a company they work with. My pain was knocked down to a 2.5-3, which is great.

As far as my mood goes, the CBD is very relaxing. Since the THC is eliminated, the "high" is missing, but a feeling of well-being is definitely there. I don't suffer from anxiety, but if I did, I feel that CBD would really help. My experience with it is definitely positive.
