I think a lifetime of being a weed head has made me immune to CBD.

I don't know about the oral supplements, but my dad had good results with some topical stuff for back pain.

I've had good results with topical CBD for joint/muscle pain too. My massage therapist (who def knows what she's talking about) swears by it.

A year or so ago I was taking oral CBD for anxiety and I felt like it helped for that too.

10000% not crap — has been life-changing for me and (along with CBT) an essential tool for coping with generalized anxiety.

None of the CBD edibles or supplements I've had made any effect on me, but I used some CBD-infused lotion at my parents' cabin on a sore spot on my shoulders and neck and it made the pain go away, and I felt amazing. Even if the supplements don't do much for me, the fact that there's some non-opiate based pain relief out there that's actually helping people is enough for a Not Crap vote from me.

I've found it helps me personally, placebo or not.
I did a pretty large literature review and pilot study when I worked for the VA hospital. We could tell CBD did <i>something</i>. It definitely affected metabolic processes, and gut flora. Our lab got shut down during the recession and we gave up out research.
