"Animal models of addiction suggest it may also help lessen cravings for alcohol..." Does this mean they give lots of alcohol to animals, until they become alcoholics, then make them go cold turkey?

I was talking to a guy in his shop about this that and the other (mood/sleep/BP/pain etc.)and he asked if i'd tried CBD, it was just about on my radar but he apparently swears by it but then again he sells it so he would, eh?



I said go on then, i'll give it a go upon which he passed me a bottle with roughly 10ml in it and asked for 30 quid, I nearly fell over.



Anyway a month later i've run out, do I go and get another bottle? I can't say i'm aware of any benefit at this juncture.



Does anyone take it? Opinions and experiences would be appreciated.


Exactly what is it and what does it claim to do.

I tried it for Chronic pain.

Snake Oil that doesn’t even taste nice.

Well, I can confirm that is not true, in my case at least.

Well the way I see it is that in specific circumstances it helps, but its hardly a self medicating substance. Brian

Its probably of more use to the sex addict reading how the canabinoid receptors work and when. Brian
