Here in the US everyone seems to be jumping the CBD bandwagon now that it's been legalized and it's showing up in foods, cremes, oils and pretty much anywhere it can be sold - people are really trying to cash in on the newfound availability. Having said that, very few of the benefits have been clinically proven and there's not much research on it. AKA - it's being marketed as a "cure all" for many things without a lot of proof.

Bottom line there's usually not a magic pill to fix all our problems in my opinion.

Serenity - if you are using something that is helping with another problem, I'd run it by your doc or therapist just to make sure and also check the ingredients just to make sure you know exactly what's in it.
