CBD is incredibly versatile, it’s patented by the US government as a neuroprotectant. Right now the CBD market is a mess and the public severely misunderstands cannabinoids so it gets taken advantage of and earned a snake oil reputation.

Right now it’s all diluted low quality CBD getting sold at below efficacious doses with no instruction. Typical CBD dosing is at the very least 100mg a day of real quality full spectrum oil or isolate for months on end, and that really is on the low side of dosing. CBD is real medicine along with CBG, CBN and other cannabinoids. Then terpenes are their own subset with various medicinal properties within each. We shouldn’t vilify real medicine out of existence due to lack of understanding and experience that’s exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants

Please provide evidence for any of what you're saying. The last line in particular is a red flag.

You’ve obviously never researched or worked with any cannabinoids or terpenes. This isn’t hidden information

Ok first of all "terpenes" are a massive class of molecules (anything with a poly-isoprene backbone). The properties vary so wildly you might as well be saying "you haven't researched acids" or "you haven't researched metals".

I'm going to venture you are not a researcher either.

Finally I have asked for sources, which is the basics of providing scientific evidence. "Do your own research" is ok for pseudoscientific Facebook groups, not this sub.

Easy on the pseudoscience. There’s a lot of lobbying against natural medicines to keep you thinking it’s pseudoscience, even though they synthesize most of their approved medications off of plants or other biological sources found in nature. There’s so much working against cannabis right now that you can not expect them to come out ranting and raving about the efficacy of cannabinoids against various ailments after demonizing and jailing citizens over the plant for the last 80 years.

And what exactly is a red flag about coming at pharmaceutical companies? Are you not able to look around and see the corruption or?

And if you need further proof, look into Epidiolex, the pharmaceutical version of CBD isolate for controlling seizure activity. You’ll notice their dosing starts at 10mg a day working up to 1000mg a day over time. Taking low doses of CBD for real ailments won’t do anything, the medicine needs to be made correctly and dosed correctly. You can look up the government patent on CBD and think for yourself why they would make their own medicine out of it if it’s so useless. Atleast 50% of FDA approved pharms are plant derivatives this isn’t magic hippy BS, isolating compounds from plants for medicinal use is common practice . It’s just the start as well, more will become public Knowledge as time goes on. Or they’ll finally admit it’s highly medicinal, patent it, and try to take away our right to grow it. Dronabinol and Naboline are two other cannabinoids that have been isolated for use specifically in cancer treatment side effects. It’s medicine

  1. a blanket statement against pharmaceutical companies as in the post I am replying to is a red flag because it is a blanket statement about an industry which - while it has issues - does conduct incredible amounts of scientific research and produces compounds with demonstrated clinical use

  2. I'm not saying plant derived drugs aren't a thing, they obviously are

  3. concerning CBD, there are some clinically proven applications, you have provided one, but once again I am replying to a post which makes blanket statements on its benefits. Such claims of a panacea are suspicious, which is my I am asking for specific sources which support this on a scientific basis.

You should start working with cannabinoids and watch cancer patients get immediate relief, sleep and appetite that bedside tables full of typical pharmaceuticals weren’t providing. I’ve watched it multiple times. The studies support jt and I’ve watched it work it person. Its so versatile and medicinal that doubting it is just strange.

First, the benefits of cannabis in a clinical setting are scientifically established so no issue here. This is due to THC, not CBD, as pure THC achieves the same results.

The post is about CBD

I’m talking about CBD. Look man your name checks out and I don’t really feel the need to further try to convince you of what I know full well. I question more why the apprehensiveness to believe CBD is medicinal when you’ve apparently never worked with it

For what uses specifically? I'll find you numerous studies on google scholar easily. Just tell me what you're looking for.
