Honest opinions on CBD?

[MickShipman]

Looking for some honest opinions about the results of taking CBD oil?

Recently stopped taking a low dose of anti depressant which was covering my anxiety, did this because I'm not enjoying being dead from the waist down and I've been on them for a couple of years.

Friends and colleagues keep telling me about CBD oil, some take it in drop form, some in tablet and some in gummy sweets. I just can't shake the feeling it's like a placebo though? They believe it will work so it does.

Can anyone give me honest yes it did/no it didn't help stories? Do you have to believe it's going to work before you start it?

Not enjoying being anxious again!

I tried it as oil for about 3 months. I didn't feel it did anything. I was looking for some sort of calming effect and arthritic pain relief. It didn't do anything except taste awful.

It worked for me for chronic sickness which turned out was due to anxiety. So don't see why it can't work for normal presenting anxiety.

Placebo

I think it’s worth trying in most cases but didn’t do anything for the pain I tried it for

When I was having awful trouble sleeping as I was very anxious about something, a CBD oil pillow spray from OTO was the only thing that actually helped me. So while it’s a different situation, I think it can have benefits. It really worked and I am very skeptical about these things!

It did nothing for me when I used it over a period of six months but it did help a dog who had large growths who the vet wanted to PTS and the owner said know and started giving him CBD oil!

Therefore I’m on the fence about it!

Following as I'd like to try this for my anxiety once I finish breastfeeding/cosleeping. I have awful trouble sleeping and horrible intrusive thoughts, and in my early 20s before having kids, smoking weed helped loads so I'm hoping cbd may have the same effect without any of the negative stuff that can go along with it. It hasn't worked at all for my grandads arthritis pain though which has put me off a bit.
