The price for CBD is ridiculous! It would be like selling distilled corn oil or soybean oil for these prices. It's just a food and industrial crop!!! I am hoping with congress passing a law allowing the legalization of growing hemp earlier this year the price will drop after the next growing season. I can buy hemp grown in other countries for nutrition, for example a hemp protein and fiber powder sold at Walmart and also hulled hemp seeds and these products are reasonably priced. My hemp fiber powder is the same price as psyllium (be prepared to taste kelp when swallowing) and the hemp has more good nutritional benefits. These products are grown in Canada. Like you, can't say CBD oil has helped with pain, but I am primarily taking it to reduce inflammation which causes eczema. Presently all 4 forms of my eczema are in remission. Is this just a coincidence, probably as eczema comes and goes, yet ................ Also like you because of price may be taking less than needed for pain relief. I have learned to live with pain because of pain meds raising my blood pressure, even with bp medication. I have been without my Aleve for 9 months now, it's just my new reality.
