CBD oil. It doesn't matter which exotic ailment you're talking about, someone will ask you if you've tried it and that they think it might help.

Also, CBD honestly needs the same warnings as Grapefruit since it works on the same metabolic pathways and can decrease effectiveness of certain drugs.

...like my cancer drugs.

If your drugs say to avoid grapefruit... You should probably consider skipping CBD as well.

And pomegranate too, at least for my anti-rejection meds.

CBD does ... something. It makes me sleepy. So at least for some people it can serve as a sleep aid.

Not to me though I just tried it out of curiosity, I have no desire to be even more sleepy

It gave me massive munchies and not much else.

That could be because it's an unregulated product, and you were getting THC.

In this case I would doubt it, since it was sold in the Swedish market, where THC is illegal. It could however have been some bullshit of some other kind.

Is cbd regulated there, though? THC is illegal in the US, too, but since it comes from the same plant, and there's no regulation and this study found 20% of cbd oil had THC innit

this is the first thing that came to my mind too….
there is some medicinal value to it, but usually not what they claim it to be, and usually not in the form that it’s in….
