CBD oil has really only showed effectiveness in some people with seizures. Not much else has been proven through controlled clinical trials. Also there is literally no regulation of CBD oil so each brand and batch can be totally different in amount of CBD, purity etc. Personally I have tried it twice for anxiety and it did nothing at all. I really wouldn't recommend it for trying to wean off of benzos. Let your physician tell you what to do.

Agree and disagree. The no regulation thing is a huge problem and as you said, it leads to inconsistent potency/purity. In a lot of cases, you are just buying 60oz of coconut oil for 100 bucks. That being said, when visiting California I did try a CBD vape from a licensed dispensary and definitely felt a subtle relaxing feeling. The problem with physicians(in this case) is that these alternative treatments are usually not part of their training, not to mention that the same physician is the one that put me on Valium, to begin with. These are the traditional tools they use. You have a fever, take paracetamol, you feel anxious, take a valium.
