CBD hype far exceeds solid science backing its use.
As noted, there’s one prescription form of CBD approved in the U.S. for treating two rare seizure disorders in children.
I had always heard when you smoked cheap seedy weed and got a headache, that was because so much CBD over THC.
In the UK CBD is sold for vapes and as an oil. I’ve only tried in a soft drink, called Trip. It says all that stuff about relaxing and reviews say relaxing without alcohol. From my and my wife’s limited experience with two four-packs over a few weeks, I can’t say there’s a noticeable effect or that any could be a placebo type effect or confirmation bias, whichever.
ETA: Trip and other CBD infused drinks are “age appropriate” so 18, like Red Bull.
Pot / THC aren’t legal here though I have read about people with kids with bad cases of epilepsy go to the Netherlands to get Hemp Oil which they say helps. What customs would do, no idea.

Anecdote: I find it useful as a topical for muscle pain.
Yeah, this is a key data point for me. Did the person who swears by CBD also swear by every other health fad in recent history? Pass, not interested.
