I'd guess you are very correct. But for treating joint diseases like the one I had, it's a miracle drug.Ummm if your knees are bone on bone CBD won't help with that, no way.
The prescription drug I was prescribed for my fibromyalgia rheumatica (a poorly understood extreme debilitating pain in hip and shoulder joints...and elbows to a lesser extent) did work well but was almost $3000 a month. Yes....per month. I could not afford that. So after the first two months (free samples) , I was stuck taking only prednisone...which was cheap but barely worked and has a lot of known side effects. I tried the CBD oil and cream almost on a whim..because my niece with a Masters in nursing suggested that I try it. I did..the result was mind-blowingly successful. Within two days of starting the CBD treatments, two years worth of pain simply vanished and I regained full use and mobility of my arms and legs.
