I don't smoke (cigs, tho!). Tried it in my 20s but it never 'took'. Alcohol took tho and still does. I did a fair bit of research on the CBD oil and am glad I never smoked and wouldn't touch CBD oil with a ten foot pole. If you consider what a miracle prescription CBD oil it is for people with serious physical illnesses, what does unregulated CBD oil do to someone without a serious illness? A local student recently accidentally ODd on CBD oil purchased online and really almost didn't survive. Turned out to be basically 'bath-tub' CBD oil. I suspect that smoking marijuana is much, much safer than taking unregulated CBD oil. However, watch me eat my words, if it's PROVEN to be a safe sleep aid!!
