Dear "person",

Are you suggesting your CBD oil is medicine? If so what is it to be used for and what is the dosage recommendation?
(You are a complete and utter moron. )

Viceroy... what's the recommended dosage for MMJ? It varies from person to person. CBD compounds have been touted by many researchers, doctors and patients as the key to MMJ medicines. Hell even that Sanjay Gupta guy thought so in his "Weed" documentary. North Carolina lawmakers signed a bill allowing CBD oils as a medicine for epilepsy in the state(http://www.wncn.com/story/25814880/house-committee-approves-medicinal-cannabis-oil). Doctors in Kentucky are prescribing it(meaning a medicinal treatment) for children who suffer from seizures(http://www.whas11.com/news/2-Ky-research-hospitals-can-prescribe-medical-CBD-oil-253310851.html). There are numerous other articles, papers, reports, documentaries that claim it is a viable medicine.

I think your snake oil claims might be a little off on this, mate.

Well, here, let me edumacate you:

For what it's worth MMJ is not medicine today nor has it ever been. It has medicinal qualities and it is rightly categorized a "Narcotic" and a "Psychotropic" but because it has so many components and it's effects vary so much from plant to plant and person to person you just can't call it medicine. Aspirin is medicine. Two shots of whiskey is medicine. A joint is not and never will be. In fact the whole MMJ idea was a ruse by a spinoff group from NORML who wanted to legalize use, they saw the "medicinal" approach as the best approach to accomplish their long term goals.

CBD is one of hundreds of components of marijuana. Like THC it is likely that when extracted, or synthesized, much of the intended effect will be lost. Drabinol (synthetic THC) does not create the munchies that pot does. Drabinol is medicine though whereas pot is not.

One day CBD might become medicine or, more likely, a synthetic version of it may become medicine. Today it is just a magic elixer that may or may not do things that people think it does do. Always keep in mind the most powerful medicine in the world is a placebo.
