I’m ready to get some! I know research shows it helps to balance out mood swings. I think the anti-depressants can be much harder in the body than marijuana. I’m ready to go to Colorado and try it. I do know that smoking a strand called Blue Dream helps with the pain of osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. Georgia is always behind on most controversial issues. The people making the laws are obviously not suffering with pain. Frankly, if marijuana is legalized,
It will take so much $$$$ out of the hands of drug manufacturers and other medical entities that they could go out of business. Smoking the Blue Dream enabled me to actually bend my knee without pain. I’ve had medical folks in an ER tell me that alcohol proved to be more destructive than marijuana as far as car accidents and other incidences that can cause injury. Anyone else used it for pain relief?

Welcome @petangelkat1 to Mayo Clinic. This is a link to a group that is dealing with these questions. https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cbd-oil-and-depression-anxiety/
Many of us use CBD oil to help with anxiety and or depression- or both! However I we can not offer any medical diagnoses nor medical opinions. My experience is that CBD oil has reduced headaches, depression and anxiety.
I hope that you can share more about why you are searching for additional help.

@elwooodsdad - because of my lung cancers I can't inhale anything and am better with digestibles too. So the ointment really helped? I'd love to get some for my husband and myself! My state has compassion centers. Is there any particular dosage that you use for the ointment?
