I have tried it and of course it's going to work differently for different people. I have used the CBD oil because I am very med sensitive and even the edibles were too much for me. I tried my friend's who has a medical card, prior to our state legalizing it.
Once it was legal, I got the oil, but without the medical card, I can only get a certain kind. I stupidly didn't think I could overdose on it- boy was I wrong. Ended up in ER thinking I was having strokes when I kept blacking out and came to in the floor. In the ER I learned that even tho the state legalized it, possession is still a federal crime (???!?). I felt really really stupid having a doctor tell me this at the age of 39. He sent my mother out of the room so that I could be told this and I felt like a total busted teenager.
Furthermore I learned that various kinds put me into flashbacks from having been drugged and r*ped as a child.
I swore I'd never use it again, but am finding that it is the only thing helping my hysterectomy pain. I combine it with massage cream and use it topically. That's the only way my head doesn't feel it. It reduces my pain by about half.
