CBD is not the same as marijuana

[cloudyday2]

I've found CBD to be very helpful for my depression/anxiety, but it's frustrating that I can't persuade others that it works. Why do so many people dismiss the possibility of using CBD? I suspect that these people are familiar with marijuana and assume that CBD is present in marijuana and therefore they know all about it already. No, marijuana has been bred to have lots of THC and very little CBD. Therefore the effects of marijuana are nothing like the effects of CBD.

Don't dismiss CBD for depression/anxiety simply because you know about marijuana. (Sorry I'm just frustrated with this issue right now.)

Things are apparently about to change, for the better.
Will take time though..
But from what i understand big pharma (no cure but eternal prescriptions) is under fire as we speak.

True, it is not marijuana and those that think it is or say it is simply have no clue. The amount of THC that is in the hemp from which the CBD is derived, is so low that one would die... MANY times over... from smoke inhalation before they got high. The focus is on the the CBD that does indeed help with depression and especially seizures.

I think they extract the CBD, because there's always THC in weed too.
I actually believe there is some THC in the CBD oil as well.
My sister has some for her anxieties, and as a former weed addict, i have tried it 2 or 3 times in a cigarette, and i did get a little high...
Perhaps depends on how it's made / extracted.

I don't suffer much from depression, a little but not much but what I did notice about CBD oil is how much it helps when I have an allergic reaction that causes swelling in the throat, tongue, and vocal cords....amazing how fast it works too...and no side affects or fear of addiction.
