I was told that my BP was too high, they wanted me to take meds for it. I read about the BP meds and that scared and elevated my BP even more.
The next time my BP was high I used some CBD and watched as it almost immediately lowered my BP to a safe level. The next doctor visit I let them take my BP and they told me it was high. I took some CBD and in a few minutes they retook my BP and were amazed that it was WNL. They can't give me a Rx for it, but told me they were good with me taking it.
As far as pain relief and anxiety uses , that is more subjective. I think it helps but there is really no tool to measure like I can my BP.
I do know I take less pain meds than I used to. I sleep better.
I have several friends that have seizures. They have a lot fewer seizures since they have started using CBD. Several of them were smoking p** to control their seizures and they no longer smoke p** anymore.
I have one friend with MS. He gets a noticeable decrease with his shaking when using CBD.
Most of the benefits of smoking p** are the effects of the CBD not the other ingredients of p**.
CBD has never been illegal (except in the mind of our stupid ass Oklahoma governor. She won the dumbest governor award, but that's a different story) ( She also made an executive order making vaping on state own property a $10 fine) .
disclaimer: The governor of Oklahoma is not a "stupid ass". she's from head to toe dumb.
