CBD is an extract of pot and while it does have some medical uses, it was used as a first step towards legalizing pot as some drugs with pot extracts were already legal. I will not get into that whole debate yet again in a thread I meant to hopefully help people. If you want to see the many debates that have happened here just do a search for legalize pot. You may find weeks worth of reading. Days anyway.
I’ve followed the threads, but it seems like your reason for reluctance just changed.
My point is that two things can be true. Most cbd contains little to no thc and has benefits, as you noted. It might be a gateway to the ‘gateway drug’ but that doesn’t change the fact that it helps some people. And might help you, too.
and, as I noted, using the ‘we don’t have long term studies’ is, while valid, an argument that could apply to many drugs we see advertised daily from pharmaceutical companies.
if that is your line in the sand, great. But the lack of studies isn’t strictly an issues for cbd.
