Ahhh the ignorance of paulW shines through yet again. You obviously are not educated on this topic. So easily you will discredit others based on your fingers doing google searches.
Why not google cbd and epilepsy? Cbd and seizures? Cbd for pain? Placebo huh? You could not be more wrong on this issue.
The FDA disagrees with you by the way.

cbd up against your “placebo” theory.

“People have used CBD traditionally for thousands of years to treat various types of pain, but the medical community have only recently begun to study it again.”
I’ll stop there. This is too easy.

Drugs that have been in use for thousands of years like aspirin (original form Willow Bark extract) and CBD (hemp) are actually the opposite of a placebo effect. Nobody boiled willow bark and marketed it as a cure-all effective against fever, pain, blood clotting, heart attacks, etc, and then people believed it. It happened the other way around, people were consuming these products and the various things they treated, and didn't treat, were recorded over generations.

I remember seeing a story on TV about a little girl who was helped by CBD. She went from having 20 or so seizures a day to like once a week after getting CBD
She was only about three years old so I’m pretty sure it wasn’t a placebo effect.

Ah, the ignorance of islandlving. Don't you know that most of the CBD being sold on the web actually contains nothing?
Just like a placebo. Yes, I'm sure you know way more about marijuana than I do, I'll give you that.
As for those who think that just because something has been used for thousands of years then it can't be a placebo, I give to you: Chinese traditional medicine. Or do you think tiger's ***** really is an aphrodisiac?
Aspirin has proven effects, in real testing. CBD could too, but not in the way that fanatics have been claiming all over the internet.
Way too much wishful thinking.

From the NYT article I linked to earlier:
"Still, the explosive popularity of CBD is way ahead of any evidence to support its efficacy — or reliable reassurances that it has no serious adverse effects. Where is the healthy skepticism when we need it?"

Another one for paulie.
I’m sure it is all in her head huh?

I like this part,
“I kept hearing about all the benefits of CBD (including for anxiety), but I dismissed it for a while. It sounded questionable, expensive, and too good to be true, like modern-day snake oil.”
Cbd is the future. For children and animals as well.
Wonderful stories coming from the animal community on cbd.

I gave you very credible websites and you still dismiss them with your nyt article. Amazing. Actually funny and very hypocritical of you considering.
Show me proof of your statement about cbd products containing nothing. Proof, the same proof you CRY for on other topics from credible sources.
Instead you post one link, and then follow that up with opinion based nonsense. You are way out “gunned” here on this one and it clearly shows.
You confuse your own opinions with truth/facts. It’s a scary road you travel when you cannot accept being wrong about something you are not educated on. I’m sure I’m not the first to tell you this.

Hoo boy, the self-assuredness of the half-educated, it never ceases to amaze me.
From one of your own articles (no, not the yahoo/lifestyle one, give me a break):
"Although CBD oil has become a trendy cure-all, treatment of epilepsy is the only use that has garnered significant scientific evidence supporting its usefulness." And that's a very rare form of epilepsy.
Most people, possibly you included, have never seen real CBD. The stuff sold over the internet that people are putting in lattes is nothing. I know, a friend of mine sells it and he's laughing all the way to the bank at your gullibility.
