CBD Oil

Update February 2021:
From what I understand, there is a big difference between the CBD that you get at the health food store vs. the CBD that comes from the Medical Marijuana Dispensary.  If you combine the CBD with THC, first of all, it is much more medicinally potent.  And according to the dispensary, their CBD-only products are derived from the "actual medical plant" wheras the CBD that comes elsewhere is from industrial hemp plants.   

When I first heard about CBD oil, my initial assumption was that it would be "like" non-alcoholic beer.  Taking the THC out of marijuana is like taking the alcohol out of beer, right?  Wrong!

I learned first-hand that CBD oil does have relaxing, calming effects.  It's also an anti-inflammatory, meaning it can help your body heal from virtually anything.  It can be taken orally (using a dropper) or by vaping it.  I've tried it both ways.  Vaping is generally more 'cost effective' because the CBD goes directly into your lungs and blood stream, rather than absorbing slowly through your gut.
