What we noticed about CBD was an odd relaxed-head-but-wired-body feeling. If thats what ur going for then its great. Hav physical issues that make the wired body feeling painful, sometimes caused severe spasms. Have found suprising success and finally relief after purchasing and ingesting Kratom, like the Bali and/or the Red Vein Indica. In the US and many countries Kratom is legal. Would recommend you research it thoroughly. This is a herb that is in the same family as coffee. As far as using a herb versus something prescribed, either way you need to be responsible. You need to be the judge and find what is best for you. The effects vary depending on how much you ingest, the strain, physical factors and any other medications herbal or otherwise that you are using. Research online and you'll find that most of the info is positive, which speaks volumes. Good luck & happy trails
