Cannabidol/CBD oil for OCD?

Anyone here using/have used CBD oil? It's gaining popularity in the US as an alternative treatment for epilepsy/seizures, but is also being investigated for other conditions such as ADHD, OCD, anxiety, etc.

Its just an impression but it seems like this is a treatment looking for a problem.  Spent some time with two Colorado dudes who were really into its.... medical properties.  Never saw two guys act so out of it / dumb.  I think Snoop Dog got a prescription because not having a prescription caused anxiety.  ha!    Ok, that said I honestly have no background to tell anyone about that.   Or much else.  I guess it just strikes me as funny.  My brother spent the 1960s convincing me I didn't want to be paranoid, dumb and getting the munchies all the time.

I've heard no success stories from this route. The above is it, the only one.  It's such an industry now, this stuff.  But true evidence is just not there.   Therapy is the essential element and there is an array of medications that treat OCD.  good luck

I take it and it has helped me so much. Our bodies are hard wired with cannabinoid receptors and CBD targets those receptors to help with many conditions. Please remember CBD is NOT a cure and should never be substituted  for medications prescribed by your Dr. Unless it's replacing anxiety and pain but you have to build up to that. I have done extensive research on CBD as I am involved with the CBD industry.  I have educated myself on  my products so I can pass on the knowledge

I'm replying just because nobody else did.  I don't know anything about CBD oil.  I know that people have tried 5-Htp and inositol with little success.
