Crap.

Now big pharma can make this and sell it for billions, and then try to ban marijuana again.

I think Bayer is already one of the largest growers.

They'll release a Cannabinoid called Zionclon-C.

Those of us who've already been using cbd to treat pain know it's benefits; don't need a study.

Why not just take cannabis, then? Fuck “science.”

I have often considered trying CBD, but it's so damn expensive. And kind of odd to say CBD is 30 times more powerful when a dose of CBD is 500-1000 mg, and a dose of asprin is 325-650 mg.

I'm on week 4 of the stuff, it is ridiculously expensive, but I can feel the affects more so than anything else, that I've personally tried.

On that point, I make my own colloidal silver, and am checking into making my own CBD. I've got a magic butter machine; it can make a 'so-so' CBD, but haven't tried it yet for that. There are a couple other machines on the market that I'm researching. The deal is, this isn't the 80's, or 90's. With mass consumerism, and a little research, usually the machines necessary for a wide variety of things isn't too far away.

I hope you are right about that. If the price can come down I think it could help many.
Maybe with nationwide legality and more studies proving the effectiveness, insurance could help cover the cost too.
