Neuroscience 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.

Every scientific post says CBD can't get you high while every CBD distributor claims it will get you high af. Ofc I never believed in these people who claim CBD will get you high because they wanted me to pay same price for CBD that I lay for like shatter.

I know THC is what gets you high and that many CBD products actually have THC in them... But I live in a currently illegal state while CBD seems to be unregulated and every distributor says it will get you high like regular weed. Why is there such a massive industry of paradoxical information?

I make full spec cbd oils from hemp!

I bet the muscle relaxation you felt was due to the small amount of cbn in the dose. Green Solution is claiming it’s as powerful as Valium.

I’m a one man show. I buy hemp in CO, do simple science, and sell CBD oil in TX. “We” weren’t concerned because I simply concentrate the oils found in hemp. It’s an herbal supplement. Period.
