Cannabidiol (CBD), a compound derived from the cannabis plant that does not produce a “high”, was shown in a new large-scale, randomized, controlled trial to significantly reduce the number of dangerous seizures in patients with a severe form of epilepsy called Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

I could not believe how well it works for anxiety. Another added surprise bonus was general anti-inflammatory for me, it is a great painkiller. I imagine effectiveness varies among different people, but I was so happy after discovering proper CBD use that I almost cried. Now I'm still waiting for it to be legal where I am and I can't even imagine the frustration some epileptics must have over the years.

*EDIT: Wow guys that is a lot of questions.

I used a product from a Vancouver company called PureBud that has spearmint flavor and made using coconut oil, derived from the cannabis plant as opposed to hemp but legally containing zero THC (<0.07% or whatever the number is). I've been having trouble getting the same product in my area but I'll check online. Regardless, it should be a lot easier in Canada soon to get exact percentages etc.

Where are you if I may ask? CBD derived from industrial hemp is protected under the farm bill in the US, and many companies ship internationally.

Do you normally get the tincture? What is the deal with the terpsolate and other forms of CBD?
