@raspberrytorte weed is legal where I am and I tried CBD too.

I had a similar experience to yours. But I was taking CBD oil and it was a specific kind, I think it had to do with the strain or something. I was taking it for my anxiety and it did work.

The problem was that my anxiety was so bad that I had to take it 6 times a day.

And yeah, it didn't affect my ability to think clearly. I didn't drive though - I can't be too careful with that.

I stopped CBD after a few months, it was just too cumbersome.

I eventually went another route to manage my anxiety, so I haven't needed CBD anymore.

Also, my mother was taking it for pain, and it helped too. She has difficulty getting to the dispensary, and I can't go often for her, so it kind of fell off the things she takes.
