it's straight up like poser weed. shit is ridiculous.
I have zero reasons why anyone would buy some plant material to burn that doesn't cause euphoria.
Might as well scrape the lawn mower.

Because people use CBD as a medicine instead of a recreational drug. Not sure how that's hard to comprehend, maybe it's the pot gumming up some synapses, but you do you, girlfriend.

I'm not referring to actual medical patients. It's people in legal and non legal cannabis recreational states. Whom buy this thinking they're smoking weed.
weed is made up of many, many different molecular chemicals. THC is what 99% of people think of as "weed", CBD isn't.
Those are just the two most popular..

basically i'm saying it's like kids smoking cigarettes behind school, "te-he so this is what it's like."
Hense why I referred to cannabis with thc breed out of it as poser weed.

If people really wanted pure CBD they could get it without the plant material or extraction chemicals.
They sell it in viles, it's a white crystal in it's pure form and legal in the USA. it doesn't get you high. it's a chemical with placebo like effects.
Which for non medical people, doesn't do shit.

One of the big deals with cannabis is it's ability to reduce the amount of pharmaceuticals people were taking for various things.
CBD can't fill that role unless you believe in it hard enough. But one could also give these same people sugar tablets and tell them it's E. *rolls eyes*

I’ve ever done weed nor do I have any interest to. It stinks, and gives me zero benefit. Plus I could lose my job over it. I do, however, want to see it legalized. Legalization = more funding for studies proving what it can cure/help/alleviate.

THC exacerbates conditions like anxiety, so no matter how much you want it medical it's not for some people (me). CBD fills the role of psych (and pain!) med replacement and thank god it exists. The pharmaceutical options are just so terrible.

Because THC is (usually) the most abundant cannabinoid by far and it's safe to say that it's causing the effect if you're smoking pot and getting paranoid because that's one of the effects of THC and CBD directly opposes those effects. They're both good medicines, just for different things. THC is for much more serious things, generally.

Chemicals can affect everyone differently. So what you know about you I can't knock. I just know what's worked for me and people i've been around in the long past.

i knew one girl who even when she smoked a little bit she'd be borderline anxiety attack. But that never happened to me so I never got it till I expanded my mind on the subject of chemicals.

I concede.

Most people have a great time. I'm like that girl you mention. I'm introverted as hell to begin with and pot basically traps me in my head and fuels my social anxiety. I only (used to) smoke socially and it's pure hell for me. I imagine I'd actually enjoy it, as a recreational drug, by myself a lot. Have had good results with microdose edibles though.
